From the United Statee PROSPECTUS. Meetings having been held in the Ia. ft e cities in which resolutions disapprobatory of the proceedings of the abolition socie ties were adopted, the American Anti- Slavery Society, and its auxiliaries at ; Boston and Philadelphia, have made an appeal to their fellow citizens. The last published in Philadelphia, as an expo- 1 cent of the views of the association, is ‘ attributed to the pen of Garrison. It is 1 an able and enthusiastic vindication of himself and his associates, against the denunciations of those who believe, with him, “ that slave-holding,or claiminghu man beings as property, is in all cases an atrocious sin against God and that “to cherish and express this belief, is not in consistent with the rights and privileges of American citizens.” He declares, in the most solemn manner, that the allega tions which arc brought against them are utterly groundless; that they “ excite in their minds the strongest emotions of sur prise, indignation, and horror.” He de clares that they “ have never made any Vmrighteous or incendiary appeal to (he slave population ; that they have never justified (lie slaves in any act of physical violence, but have constantly inculcated the duty of submission, non-resistance, and forgiveness,” &c. He declares that they have “ never believed or asserted that Congress is empowered constitution ally either to modify or abolish slavery in any slave-holding Slate; but have al ways maintained that each State is sove reign and independent in this matter; that they are neither traitors nor incen diaries, neither madmen nor fanatics; but nu n fearing God, pleading by his name and by his authority, fur (he suf ferings of the dumb, and speaking forth the words of truth and soberness. They say—“ln our association we embrace clergymen and church members of all religious denominations; individuals of every political party, of the strongest in tellect, and of every section of the coun try ; presidents and professors of col leges, doctors of divinity, judges and law yer', statesmen and philanthropists; men of the highest standing, of the deepest piety, of the purest morals, of the most unbending integrity, of the loftiest pa triotism, of the most enlarged benevo lence, and tilled with true wisdom and holy zeal.” Such is the character of the members of these fearful combinations. Hear their belief! They say— “ That we bring no invidious accusa tion against the South, but charge the North with being alike guilty of uphold ing a system of robbery, outrage ami soul murder:—That as we desire the salva tion of our souls, so do w'e desire to see our country the safe abode of universal liberty, in all things the wonder and ad miration of the world, the asylum of (he oppressed of every tribe and clime—uni ted—prosperous—happy—holy—invin- cible! With like solemnity do we af firm, (hat we view the system of slavery in this country asa system ofirresponsible and despotic power on the one hand, and of unprotected and suffering humanity on the other—a system of concubinage, incest and adultery, which threatens to bring the exterminating judgments of an incensed God upon our land—a system of violent, unholy and scandalous Amal gamation, teeming with physical as well us moral corruption, and filling our bor ders with a spurious population—a sys tem that banishes (he Bible, desecrates the Sabbath, nullifies the law s of heaven, unhinges the moral government of the universe, tramples upon the blood of the Son of God, and usurps the prerogatives of the Almighty—a system that trans forms more than two millions of Ameri can Citizens into brutes, to be branded, maimed, lacerated, plundered, driven, tasked, or murdered, as their proprietors mnv elect! All other specifications are included in these. “ We believe, therefore, that slave holding, or claiming human beingsas pro perly, is in all cases an atrocious SIN A OAINST GOD; and hence, that it ought to be abandoned at once and forever. We have a moral and constitutional right to cherish and to utter this belief.” So much for their motives and their creed. Hear what they declare to be their plan of operations. They say— “ In the midst of the mighty commo tion that is raging around us, the great carnival of Tyranny and Persecution— we possess our souls in patience, and stand prepared, in the calmness of inno cence, in the firmness of integrity, and in the majesty of conscious rectitude, to encounter all the malice and fury of a guilty, tyrannous, and infatuated people. Wb SHALL NOT VIKM) AN INCH. >Ve shall not abandon a single principle, nor suppress a single publication, nor recall a single agent, nor dissolve a single so ciety, nor relax a single effort. Lamen ting our past indifference, slothful ness, unbelief, and covetousness, we shall aim hereafter to be more zealous, more ac tive, more believing, and more liberal; for this is our condemnation, not that we have been too ardent and laborious but that we have not remembered those who are in bonds as bound with them, nor put our souls in (heir souls’ stead, as fully as we ought to have dune, for this wc are in deed blameworthy. We acknowledge no earthly leader. God is our strength and shield—our light and defence; atid under the bannerol' the Prince of Peace we rally; so that we cannot desert from the one, nor deny , the other. We are persecuted, but not j dismayed; cast down, but not destroy-1 ed.” As a citizen of Missouri it became our duty to examine, and form a deliberate opinion upon this important subject. As a man, a Christian, and a citizen, we be lieve that African Slavery is right; that the condition of the master and slave, as it now exists in the slave-holding states, is the best existing organization of civil aociety; and we are impelled bv every feeling of humanity, as well as of patrio tism and Christian duty, to resist the dan gerous progress of the Anti-Slavery So cieties. When we noticed (heir progress and foretold their rapid increase, we were denounced as factious alarmists, laboring to create an useless excitement. What we foresaw and foretold has come to pass. Our accusers arc now outstrip ping us in their clamorous denunciation of those whom (hey heretofore affected to believe unworthy of notice. Those who but yeaterday where horror stricken at the idea of Nullification, because (hey im putes! to its advocates a desire to dissolve the Union, now ffee to disunion as the only remedy against abolition !! 1 Our Union, our Liberty are in danger! * Those who have taught the people of the South that they have no other alternative , but abolition or disunion, are justly rep- , rchensible for the deep excitement, for the had feeling, and lawless acts of vio lence which all who would preserve the character of the country, the peace and order of society, and the union anti pros •erity of these States, must deplore. Those who would persuade us that the advocates of abolition are wanting in re spectability or influence, are either igno rant themselves, or seek willfully to im pose upon Southern credulity. The ex tracts which we have made, show a fear ful combination ; full of vigor, stimulated by an intemperate zeal, acting on the morbid sensibilities, which, having been nurtured forages, arc now ripening into maturity. This combination must he met; not in the mad despair which would sever the union of these States, but in the moderation and firmness of truth. We arc of those who believe the South has nothing to fear from a servile war. We <lo not believe that (he abolitionists intend, nor could (bey if they would, ex cite the slaves to insurrection. The danger of this is remote. We believe that we have most to fear from the organ ised action upon the consciences and fears of the slave holders themselves; from the . insinuations of their dangerous heresies, ; into our schools, our pulpits, and our do mestic circles. It is only by alarming : the consciences of the weak and feeble, , and diffusing among our own people a morbid sensibilit y on the question of sla i very, that the abolitionists can accom plish their object. Preparatory (<• this, . they are now laboring to saturate the I non slave-holding States with (he belief f that slavery is a “ sin against God ;” that . the “ national compact” involves (he . non-slave-holders in that sin ; and that . it is their duty “ to toil and suffer, that . our country may be delivered from what, i they term “ its blackest stain, its foulest I reproach, its deadliest cursed* [ The experience of all ages proves that . whenever these abolitionists shall have . obtained a control over the popular elec- I lions in (he non-slave holding States, there will be no want of popular leaders, i who for selfish ends will enlist these fear ful elements us a political party. For such a crisis it becomes the duty of the South to be prepared. It is not enough for (hem to believe that slavery has been entailed upon us by our forefathers. We must meet the question in all its bearings. Wc must satisfy the consciences, we must allay (he fears of our own people. Wc must satisfy them that slavery is of itself right—that it is not a sin against , God—that it is not an evil, moral or po litical. To do this, we must discuss the subject of slavery itself. We must ex amine its bearing upon (he moral, politi cal, and religious institutions of (he coun try. In (his way only, can we prepare our own people to defend their own in stitutions. Our position enables us to keep a watchful eye on the Abolitionists. It can no longer be disguised. This ques tion is destined to absorb all others, and . it has become (he indispensable duly of 1 every American citizen to understand . all its bearings. Impressed with this be lief, we propose to devote the “Exami i neb,” the paper heretofore published by Mr. Raguet, to the vindication of the rights and interests of the slave-holders of the South. In doing this we shall en ; deavor so to treat (he subject of Slavery, . as to counteract (he deep-rooted preju dices which have enlisted so many esti mable citizens in the non slave-holding States in the cause of abolition, and by re conciling the conflict of opinion between the (wo sections, promote harmony, and save the Union of the States. We ask of the advocates of emancipation a candid and patient hearing. We ask of (he South a hearty and zealous co-operation. The Examiner has been heretofore pub lished once in two weeks, in a pamphlet form of sixteen pages. Our purpose is to make it an interesting weekly news paper, combining with the main object of its publication, Science, Literature, News and Politics; and to constitute a cheap and interesting medium of com mutucaiion in which the advocates of Southern interests can speak. Should this proposition be favorably received, the first numbers will be published in a pamphlet form, and contain Professor Dew’s valuable essay on the subject of Slavery.

Washington City, Sept. 15, 1835. LATE FROM LIVERPOOL, VIA NEW YORK. CHARLESTON, Oft. S 3. The Steam Packet William Gibbons, Captain Wright, arrived yesterday afternoon from New York, furnishing; us tiles of papers from that place to Saturday evening last inclusive.

Rimer's majority over Wolfe, in 17 counties, was 1,635. We arc informed from cor rect sources, that the Pennsylvania Farmer will carry a majority of nearly thirty thousand volet.

I The packet ship Orpheus, arrived yesterday j morning from Liverpool, having left that port on the I7lh ult. Wc have received papers of the 1 16th, and from London to the evening of the 15th. t London,Sept 15.—1 tis currently reported that i two conferences were held during lasi week by ( our ministers, respecting the affairs of Spain, and at the latter the Russian Ambassador was present ' when it was decided that the French intervention should take place, and that 40,000 French troops , were to enter Spain■ Tire news from Spain continues to be unfavora ble to the Queen. It is said, on the authority of i a telegraphic despatch from Bayonne, that a li beral junta had been formed in Madrid, and that the Queen had adhered toil. We do not think the latter part of the report probable; if it be true, she has been driven to this desperate measure by hard necessity, and it is only a prelude to the to tal destruction of her authority. Insurrections in favor of Don Carlos are taking place in all parts of the country,and desertions both from the French Legion and the English mercenaries arc abundant. Other intended attempts upon the king’s life continued to be spoken of. The Paris papers an nounce that the law for imposing restrictions on the piess received the king’s assent on Tuesday, the same day that it was agreed to hy the cham ber of peers ; and the official papers of the fol lowing day contained the royal ordinances for carrying the law into execution. No small interest had been excited by the ali ropt dismissal of the Portuguese minister at the court of Turin ; he received a verbal order to leave the states of his Sardinian majesty, within twen ty four hours, without any reason whatever being assigned for this singular proceeding. We have received the Paris papers of Friday . and Saturday. On Friday tire session of life Chambers for 1835, was brought to a close. The Moniteur of Saturday contains a list of ’ thirty new Peers, who have been ennobled for the active part which they recently took against the ; republicans. In a word, there are only two a , moiig the thirty new Peers, who are not suppor ! ted by pensions granted by the Government! The design of Louis Phillippo is now to govern by the army, and occasionally through the cxer eive of an unjust prerogative by lire Chamber of Peers. The law for abolishing the liberty of the press, has already extinguished several political publications in Paris. The British Parliament was prorogued on the lOlh Sept, to the 10th of Nov. by the King in person. The Corporation Reform Dill, had finally pass ed, as amended in the House of Lords—and, with the Irish Tithe Bill—the Nortli American Colonization Bill, and various other Bills, had re ceived the King’s sanction.

Carolinian,) formerly published at Philadelphia, by Co.xtiv Raouet, Esq., our readers will recollect, was purchased some time since by Gen. Duff Oiikf.n of the U. S. Tele graph, and removed to Washington City. Since the groat excitement produced hy the lawless course of the fanatics scorns likely to shako our political institutions to their very foundation, Gen. Coikkn, over the friend of the South, has proposed ■ devoting the “ Examiner to the vindication of the rights and interests of the slave-holders of the South.” W e shall ho glad to receive and forward the names of any who may feel a desire to extend their support lo one who has sacrificed so much for Southern principles and Southern rights us Gen. Green has. Wo solicit attention to the Prospectus in a nother column. PHRENOLOGICAL SPEC!.MENS. Wc had the pleasure, a day or two ago, of exa mining a very extensive and excellent collection of Phrenological specimens, at the office of our intelligent and talented townsman. Dr. F. M. Roiikrtson —carefully selected for him at the North, by the celebrated Phrenologist, Dr. 13 ia hkm, and recently received. It comprises about fifty-five or sixty casts, all taken from real charac ters of every description, beside prints, natural specimens, &c. and is said to be one of the best collections in the country. Wc understand that Dr. Robertson, at the request of several friends, designs shortly to deli ver a course of public Lectures on the suljcct of Phrenology, and cannot doubt that they will meet with a warm, welcome reception among our in telligent citizens. His fine talents as a speaker, combined with his general intelligence and studi ous habits, are well known to most of them; and, with the long and zealous attention he has devo ted lo this subject, and a variety of specimens which will enable him amply and clearly to illus trate all the interesting features of this new and lieautiful science, wc feel assured that they will be found highly entertaining and instructive. THE TOKEN, FOR 1830. As this Annual has l>ecn warmly recommended 1 to public patronage in some two or three of our I city papers, wc presume the highly objectionable ; and reprehensible reflections it contains, on out 1 Southern institutions, escaped their notice, and t when made known to them, will be sufficient to g induce them to retract their recommendations, and \ caution file public against it. A sample of those a reflections will be found developed in the follow- t iug paragraphs stout the Charleston Courier, and a Columbia Telescope; and the others may be seen i by reference to the article and page from which it t is taken. We presume the Booksellers, also, who i offer (his work for sale, arc equally unconscious ] how deeply it is stained with the foul and infa- i mous outrage of Abolitionism, and doubt not their 1 good tease and patriotism will spurn it from them i and our community as they would an adder, i The fact is, the entire Northern and British Lite rature is becoming polluted with this poisonous and destructive doctrine, so that Southern Book sellers should be deeply cautious what books they buy & sell, & Southern Editors what they recom mend. And how strongly docs this indicate the im portance of zealously cultivating literature and science among ourselves, and extending to all the literary and scientific works and institutions of Southern growth, the most liberal patronage and generous fostering regard. “The Token, for 1836. —We took up this An nual, with the intention of bestowing on its ele gant binding, fine embellishments, and tolerable interior, us favourable a notice ns we could ; but the discovery itt it of a single improper passage has turned our kindly feeling into gall and bitter, tress. The article entitled “ The Emigrant’a Adventure ,” has most unnecessarily, awkwardly, and wantonly hitched ort to it, a reflection on Southern institutions, ending with the very ami able and philanthropic exclamation—“ Oh ! when will the blot of slavery be wiped front our Na tional escutcheon !” On this subject, we have resolved to take and preserve a most uncompro mising attitude—to shew no quarter; and we therefore express the earnest hope that the “ To ken for 1836,” and every other publication with similar unwelcome and intrusive expressions, will not find a single purchaser in the Southern mar ket.”— Charleston Courier, “ The new No. of the Annual, the Token, has just appeared, in Boston. It is spoken of as hav ing more graphical than literary merit: a very common case, among that sort of thing. We per ceive, howovery, that there is one tale in it—“ the Emigrant’s Adventure”—which conveys a very offensive attack upon the South, ns to the institu tion of Slavery. Cannot these things be spared us, even in these matters where taste and ele gance—what is mildest and fairest and most at tractive—should reign! We trust our booksel lers will not bring this work amongst us, or will return it, if they should have already bought it.”— Columbia Telescope, THE SENTINEL Says " the Chronicle gives us the better part of three columns, and promises a continuance forgetting to remark, also, that one column was its own article, which called forth the remainder. It insinuates an evasion, also, on our part. By the lime we get through, it shall have no cause to complain on that score. Wo are not in the habit of evasion, but if we should devclopo any, let it deal by us as wo have dealt by it, and instead of bare assertions, give its readers an opportunity of judging for tnemsclvcs. •‘None over feared that the truth should be heard, But they whom the truth would indict.” Our readers shall see the reply of the Sentinel in duo time, for however it may evade a fair drs play of the discussion on both sides, we have no idea of doing so; and in the meantime we give them a beautiful sample of it: “ Could we bo assured that every type in the Chronicle was set by the most unprincipled submissionist in the land, we should never dream, that the editors, by employing him, had adopted his sentiments, or compromised their principles.” By the bye, the Sentinel has frequently taunt ed our opponents about their ilUbcrality, in pub lishing only one side, and assumed great merit to itself, by proposing to cither one of them a mutual arrangement, to re-publish the arguments on both sides. “Actions speak louder than words.” Why not set the example T And can they have faith in its dealing thus with apoliti cal opponent, when it uniformly refuses to do so with a polical friend 1 It has again and again refused to republish our articles commented on, even as advertisements, though we have uniform ly done so by its, as well as those of others, whenever fairness required it—thus, not merely talking the thing, but acting it. MEDICAL COLLEGE OF GEORGIA. The large, beautiful, and classic edifice of this institution is now, wo perceive, nearly finished, and will soon bo one of the finest architectural ornaments of our city, while the institution to which it belongs, will bo one of the most brilliant ornaments of the State. The building is situa ted in the Southern extremity of the city, on Washington street, opposite the Presbyterian Church, and on the lot adjoining that of the Academy. It is two stories high, above the base ment, and 80 fort long, by 77 wide, surmounted by a large dome ; and has a massive portico in front, sustained by six fluted Grecian doric col umns, and ascended by a flight of 8 steps 26 feet wide.—The exterior walla are to bo rough easted in imitation of stone, and, judging from the small portion completed, will present a very beautiful and impressive aspect. The intciior contains a wide passage, from front to rear—a largo rotunda from the floor to the dome, containing a circular staircase to the second story—three large Lecture rooms, two of them with raised scats—a Labora tory—a Dissecting room—a Museum, furnished with an extensive variety of specimens, anatomi cal, mineralogies), &c. &c. beautifully arranged, and presenting a most attractive and pleasing appearance—and several anti-rooms and private apartments—the w hole now finishing in a taste ful and elegant style, and to be suitably warmed throughout, with hot air pipes —an improvement most important and desirable. The entire edifice is highly creditable, not only to the zeal and on terprize of the faculty, but also to the taste and skill of the Architect, Mr. C. B. Cmjskei ; and as we have already remarked, will be an impres sive and beautiful ornament to the city, when completed. The Faculty haw recently taken possession of it, and the exercises of the present term com menced on Monday last with one of the intro ductory Lectures, which are made public, and to which the present week is specially devoted.- Those of Drs. Cmissux, Antov t, Foiid, Joseph A. Eve, and Dugas, have been delivered, and are very highly spoken of by those who heard them. The last, by Dr. Paul F. Eve, will be delivered to-day, commencing at 12 o’clock; and we feel assured will be equally honorable to the institution as those which have preceded it. By the bye, this gentleman wo understand has recently performed several important, difficult, and dangerous operations, in a manner so skilful ' and successful, ns to leave little doubt that, with his zealous and indefatigable devotion to his pro fession, he must soon rank among its most able ' and distiguished members. Indeed, its entire 1 Faculty have manifested a persevering assiduity and noble professional ambition probably never ! surpassed itt any similar institution, and which ( we doubt not will more than compensate for the absence of that distinguished celebrity of some of L the older Northern Colleges, which 100 often, in v all professions and occupations, relies too much | v on the influence of great names, and expects them c to supply the place of that individual labor and £ assiduity which arc most exerted in the acquire- c ment of distinction, and generally flag when it C is obtained. If talents, assiduity,and honorable am- h bilion, combined with all the necessary artificial s means oftlic Medical science, can avail ought w ith c this institution and its Facuity, both, if properly p appreciated and encouraged, must soon rank high F in the country generally ; and, cold and unnatu- n ral indeed, must be the heart of that Georgian, ii who would pass them by to patronize any others s —or of that Southerner, who would do so to en- 1' courage a Northern rival. The character and v welfare of the State, and the South, are deeply ti involved in its success, and we trust, therefore, that c all who feel interested iu cither, will generously a lend a band to promote it. We are gratified to s learn that the exercises of the present term com- u mcnce under flattering prospects, and fervently do a we hope that they will be even more than realized. v _ o THE SENTINEL-CONTINUED. E Had the general policy of the Sentinel sue- c ceedcd, we should have had, as a candidate for tl Governor, instead of a man openly and avowed- - ly devoted to our principles, one openly and s avowedly opposed to them—an honest man v though—“a liberal, independent, highminded, j anti-Van Jiuren anti-Caucvs Union man.'*— ~ And what would have been the result 1 Why c we should not only have been defeated, as we t now are, but still farther, and without the confl- t dent hope we now have, of future success, and j gratifying evidence of the onward progress of our J true principles. Does any one doubt this I Let him look at the. vote, and mark that the open, undisguised Nulli/ier, Dougheiitv, has received i 564 more voles, so far, than the highest can- , didatc on our Congressional Ticket. And how , is this to be accounted for I—how, but by the ] generous, open, unequivocal appeal of the notni- j nation for Governor, to the true spirit of our , principles and their most zealous advocates! It is evident that efforts have been made for the Gubernatorial nomination that were not made for the others, and that men could be found, who would vote for an open, undisguised Nullifier, and not for a doubtful one. We do not mean to say that this was the case with the whole Congressional Ticket. No: There were two men on that Ticket as open and unequivocal as Dougherty himself. But the Ticket was no deubt often looked to us a whole ,- and as such, it was neither fish nor flesh; or, if flesh, then, “oh flesh, how art thou fishifiod.” The ’whole canvass proves how little interest was taken in the Con gressional Ticket, compared with that for Gover nor; and though an open Nullifior is lowest on the former, yet it must be remembered that he is much leas generally known than either of the others, and that this has much influence with many. The true zeal and spirit of our princi ples was not in that Ticket as a whole, and was more decidedly put forth in the other. It was again and again urged, before the nomination, that an open and unequivocal Nullificr would not do, and could not command as many votes, as another. Docs the result prove this—or the re verse I Delicacy forbids us saying much in ref erence to the Congressional Ticket that would sustain our views; but our whole experience in reference to it justifies us in saying that it did not arouse the true feeling and spirit of the party, i “Had the nomination succeeded,” says the i Sentinel, “wo should have had in the Senate, a i liberal, independent, highminded anti-Van Jin i ren, anti-Caucus. Union man.”—True, and whore would have been the gain by it 1 Is no t he as diametrically and completely opposed to us in all other points, as any man in Georgia ? Is not he an ultra Federalist; and must not our sup port of him, have had no little effect, therefore, in neutralizing our opposition to Judge Schley, as a Federalist! Must it not have occurred to many who read and felt the objections to Schley, that there could have been little sincerity in them on the part of those who supported Gen. Flour noy, and that if they who urged them could at the same time support the one, they need not be very scrupulous about the other. Does not the Sentinel know that Gen. Flournoy is a Tariff, Bank, Internal Improvement, Supreme Court, and Force-Bill man—who entertains also the most ultra Consolidation tenets, and is understood to have declared that he would have the Governors of the Slates, if he could, appointed by the President or Congress, and held responsible to him or them with their heads ; or words to simi lar effect. That ho is an upright and honorable man, no one will doubt; and that he is an inde pendent one, the boldness with which he declares unpopular opinions, is sufficient proof; but if we are to take men with reference to their personal character, and not their political principles, then there is an end, at once, to principle or consisten cy : and why not candidly and fairly acknowledge it! Is it creditable, too, to the dignity and general character of a party, to seek out, as candidates, men from among our opponents, and oven run them without their own authority, and against their expressed wishes! Does it not render us cheap and valueless in the extreme, and encour age our opponents to treat us as such ! Will Gen. Flournoy thank them, 100, for their gratui tous and rejected support; and have they not undoubtedly done him a serious injury with his own party ! True, the Sentinel said that it was not to serve or please him, that it supported him; but have wo a moral right to injure men in this way ! I* it doing unto others, as we would that they should do unto us? Would the editor of the Sentinel himself, like to bo treated in this way, not only without his authority, but express ly against it! In “having failed” there is some hope, at least, ' that those who took part in it may learn wisdom : from the lesson; but they are not merely “where 1 they would have been had the nomination not ' been made, but so much the worse, as consists in setting a bad example, and thereby corrupting or discouraging and disgusting our friends, and i exciting the just ridicule and derision of our op- t ponents. As to the “friends and auxiliaries gain- i ed” by it, we feel assured that they aie not equal i to the loss, in one way or other, and are not to be i looked on as general allies, who will vote with us a on other questions ; and as to opposing Mr. Van p Boren, however odious, by such a man as Judge a w bite, we wish to God we could secure our prin- I: ciples from the mischief we apprehend from that, also. s , “If” says the Sentinel, “we had folded our a arms without a struggle—if we had furthered by d our neutrality the election of a man who to all «] Gen. Flournoy’s errors, added two more of a ft deadly character [what arc they !] —then indeed u we should feel that wo deserve it.” —But where p was the necessity for this ! Why not have a C( candidate of our own, and contend with him fairly, openly, and above-board 1 Tho Sentinel cannot understand it to be “ the doctrine of the Chronicle to let your adversary, no matter what his political complexion, walk in and help him self.” Wc have no idea of such a thing, if we can possibly avoid it. Our whole political career proves that no one has been more zealous or persevering, in efforts against our political oppo nents. Two years ago, when invited to take part in the nomination of a ticket for this county,we po sitively reluscd to have anything to do with if, un less a full ticket was nominated. Wc have al ways been, and ever shall be, in favor of a full ticket. But, says the Sentinel, “no State Rights candidate was proposed for the Senate.” True, and why not 1 Perhaps the Sentinel will an swer, that no one would run against Gen. Walk er, since there was no hope of beating him by any candidate of our own. If so, now pray what is the cause of it 1 J a it not that the policy of the Sentinel has crushed everything like a generous and disinterested self-devotion, and spirit of personal sacrifice, on the part our leading men—or all hope of rendering it at all useful ’ So long as the contest is made one of mere per sonal or parly success, and individual popularity, what man can be brought to stake his individual influence and popularity, in such a game, against great odds t But, abandon this wretched policy— contend for principles, not men or party, and thereby appeal to the principles and patriotism of those who should bo your candidates—and feel ing, as they would then do, that the contest would not depend upon personal popularity, and that a I defeat would not be a personal humiliation, but a defeat of their principles, rather than themselves, any generous minded man would always be ready at the call of those principles, conscious that the sacrifices ho made in their behalf, would endear him still more to their friends. But, as it is, you pick out, as a candidate, not the man most devo ted to the principles, and best able to advocate and defend them, but he (no matter who) that has most personal popularity to stake ; and then, if he be defeated, and lose that personal popularity in your cause, you selfishly, indifferently, and ungratefully, drop him or shake him off, when ho can be of no farther use to you, and look out for another “available candidate” to stake, “like a base counter,” in the game: So on, and so on, till at last you have “used up” the whole, and become bankrupt, as now, “with none so poor to do you reverence.” They who would be respected by others, must first respect themselves; and where is the self-respect manifested in running an oppo nent, even against his own refusal, when you can get no candidate of your own] Is your offer of support to a political opponent, worth his thanks, unless you have the power to elect him ; or would he accept it, if he thought you had not ] Would you offer it to him, if you could elect a man of your own 1 This game of personal or party success, is alike a selfish one on all sides. They who select tho candidate have no other idea than to subserve their own purpose, and he who consents, has none but to subserve his. As long as you arc able to elect your candidates, you will have men enough ready and willing to serve you ; but no sooner have you lost this power, than they will either wait till you recover it, or some change of party occurs, or modestly withdraw to private life. It is a game of mutual selfishness and deception, j ruinous alike to both parlies, sooner or late*, and still more ruinous to tho country. When will men learn wisdom from experience, and, abandon ing the suicidal policy of sacrificing everything for present success, determine to contend, not on!y*for right ends, but by right means only—and, calmly and satisfactorily awaiting tho result, with a con sciousness that, come what may, they have nobly “done their duty, and left the consequences to God,” exhibit neither a weak, vairtglorious display of triumph in success, or a submissive, compro mising, time-serving, and despondent spirit us defeat] Contracted as is man’s knowledge of the future, and uncertain his judgment of good or ill fortune, it is next to impossible for him to determine what will best subserve his own real interests—tho suc cess or defeat of the temporary object or policy he has in view. Men are all mere agents of the Deity, and each one receives his instructions from that principal, through the medium of his con science, which wo venture to say no man ever found to deceive him, when strictly obeyed. Oft en, what we have thought good fortune, has turn ed out, ultimately, to bo ill fortune; and what wo have considered ill, has turned out to be good. Among other instances, when a Clark man, we lamented the success of Gov. Tnoue, and thought it augured immense evil to the country. We now icjoice at it as the very reverse; and surely this is better, than to have rejoiced at his defeat, then, and lament it now. Doubtful, then, of our own power to decide correctly on the future, and what mere human policy may be best calculated to promote the general good in it, wo have long determined to decide only for the present, as our conscience may dictate—believing it to be the voice of Him who alone can discern and direct the future, and willing to obey that voice in whatever it may direct, and be its hum ble instrument of good in its own way, or by its own means, whether that wav or those means bo such as wo would have preferred or not. If there be any who doubt this theory and practice, let them mark if they have not frequently found their reason and conscience in direct conflict, and that lime, in such cases, always proved the latter to have been right, and tho former wrong. Such has uniformly been the case with us, at least! and if reason is the erring dictate of man, pray what must be that unerring voice which so often conflicts with it ] It is also clearly allied to or identified with instinct—so closely, as to render it often difficult, if not impossible to separate them, or define the difference ; and “Reason raise or instinct as you can, In this, ’tis God directs, in that, tis man.” How delightful and consoling, too, is the reflec tion, that the ignorant, as well ns the intelligent man hath a simple, unerring guide, which, though it may not render him as brilliant and fascinating in the eyes of men, can safely direct him through all emergencies, in tho course best calculated to promote his happiness, to command the respect and regard of his fellow men, and to render bim useful to himself and others. Let it be observed, however, that even the con science, to be always active and clear, must be i always respected, listened to, and obeyed not 1 disregarded, rejected, and silenced, because it 1 speak unwelcome things; for, as the advice of a 1 friend or father, long so treated, will at last leave e us to our own wilful and perverse career and I punishment, so, too, will that of Him who is the ? :ommon friend and father of all. Want of room obliges us to defer the remain der, and much other matter, till our next. The returns already received, with a reference to the usual vote of those counties not yet heard from, leave no room to doubt tho entire defeat of our ticket for Governor and members of Congress.- However deeply such a result is to be regretted by every sincere friend of Slate Rights, and every opponent of high toned federalism, and the Alien and Sedition law doctrines of John Adams’s ad ministration, yet it cannot be unexpected to those who recollect the overwhelming majority against us in the last Legislature. The returns, how ever, show a decided reduction of the strength of our opponents within the last year; and their majority in the Legislature will be considerably diminished. Hancock, Kffmgham, Lee, Liberty, Monroe, and Sumter, are joined entire to our ranks, which were last year, entirely or ia part, against us. Muscogee we have lost in part, with the Senator from Talbot, and a member from Wal ton and Washington, but have gained a Senator in Henry. We have something therefore to Iks gratified at; and while we are satisfied that the advancement of principles is sure, wo must not despond if it is not also rapid.—.Mil ledgeville Recorder, 13M inst.

IVar in Texas — Gen, Cos landed near the mouth of the Brasses with 400 men. Isaac Parker has just anived from Texas, bringing the intelligence that Gen. Cos had land ed near the mouth of the Brasses with 400 men, with tho intention of joining the 700 federal troops stationed at Han Antonio dc Bezar, and marching upon the people of Texas. He has issuer' his Proclamation, “declaring that he will collect the revenue, disarm the citizens, establish a military government, and confiscate the pro perty of the rebellious.” Messrs. Johnson and Baker bore tho express from San Felipe to Na cogdoches. Stephen S. Austin has written to several citizens ot Nacogdoches that a resort to • arms is inevitable. They have hoisted a flag with “ The Constitu tion ol 1824,” inscribed on it, and Two Hundred Freemen gathered around it, determined to stand or fall with it.

It is a remarkable fact, that slavery exists in every State of this Union. There are indeed, but few in some, but a single person, held to slav-’ cry by law, settles the question. Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con necticut, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana Illinois, and the Territories of Michigan and Ar kansas, each and every one of them have, or had, at the date of the last census (1830,) slaves lei gaily held ns such among their population. The whole number is put down at 7,74s.— Georgia Journal. 4 A clergyman of one of the congregations in Groton, Mass, was induced to leave his church m consequence of a difficulty that grew out of his relusmg his pulpit to an Abolitionist.

The last number of the Gentleman's Vade Mccum contains a handsome and spirited cut, representing Louis Philippe his sons and Staff, immediately after the explosion or firing of the Infernal Machine.
