It affords us much pleasure to learn, and to inform our readers, that Mr. Plant, Bookseller of this city, on ascertaining the Abolition charac ter of this Annual, immediately and most lauda bly stopped the sale of it at his Store, and packed up his entire stock of it, to be sent back to the , publisher, Mr. Bowks, by the first opportunity. Mr. Plant deserves great credit for this prompt, patriotic, and disinterested regard for the senti ments, and safety, and character of the Southern people, and we trust will be generously remem bered and rewarded by them, on all suitable occa sions. Ho keeps a most excellent and beautiful assortment of Books, Stationary, &c. &c. at his j Store, on the South side of Broad street, a few doors below the U. S. Hotel, where our country ( friends cannot fail to be satisfactorily supplied . with any article they may want in his lino. ( — - i THE ELECTION RETURNS. We have discovered, with the kind aid of the editors of the Constitutionalist, two material en ters in our table of election returns —Dougherty’s vote in Coweta having been set down at 497, in stead of 407, and that of Schley f539J and Dougherty f 372) in Pike, reversed. It is now , corrected, and the returns from the whole !)0 counties for Governor, and from 88 for Congress, give the totals for each candidate, as follows —our | returns now varying from those of the Constitu- | tionalist only a very few votes —for Governor, 13. ( Schley, 31,205 Dougherty, 28,611 i Majority for Schley, 2,594 Glascock, 30,961 Foster, 28,286 1 Cleveland, 30,641 Wilde, 28,253 1 Jackson, 30,498 Gamble, 28,063 Holsey, 30,319 Beall, 27,560 , The counties to be heard from, for Congress, . are Union and Ware. We omit our general ta- i blc of election returns to-day, for want of room, ■ but shall probably be able to present it complete, in our next. THE FARMER’S REGISTER. 1 In acknowledging the receipt of the October « No. of this very handsome and ably conducted i work, which, with many other matters, has 1 Unavoidably lain for some time on onr table. ' and in referring the reader to its tabic of con tents, (in our advertising columns) which will be found highly varied and interesting, wo lake great pleasure in recommending it to the atten tion of the public, and the liberal patronage it so richly deserves. It should be read by every in telligent planter, at least, and every one who would become so; and as its appearance and •contents constitute its best recommendation, we invite all who may be disposed to patronize it, to call at our office and examine it. THE JURIST, & RAW MISCELLANY. The October No. of this excellent work has lieen lying on out table for sometime. It con tains upward of thirty pages of highly interesting and instructive original matter, from the pen of the learned and able editor, on the “History of the action of Assumpsit;” “The sufficiency of a moral obligation, as the consideration of a pro mise ;” the “Origin, nature, and history of Oaths;’ “the Judicial character of Sir John Leach;” “the specific performance, in equity, of contracts rela ting to personalty;” and “Legal biography Chief Justice Wilmot;” together with the first part of the “Crown Cases reserved for conside ration, and decided by the twelve Judges of Eng land, from the year 1799 to the year 1834 ; by Wm. Oldnall Russell, and Edward Ryan, of Lincoln’s Inn, Esqs., Barristers at Law;” which occupies the remainder of the No. We take pleasure in again recommending this Valuable work to the attention and patronage ol the public, and particularly the members of the Bar. It is edited by the Hon. Wat. Cuanch Chief Justice of the U.S. Circuit Court for tht " | District of Columbia, assisted by Rufus Dawks ! Esq. Counsellor at Law, and believed to be tht _ i cheapest Law work extant. THE GEORGIA JOURNAL. £ We perceive by the last No. of this paper, that Maj.Wm.S. Rockwell, late editor of the Times, 3 has purchased it from its former editors, Messrs. ,- PniNCE & Raolan-d, and united it and the e Times together, under the title of the Georgia I Journal. In tendering our most friendly fare .. well to the former editors, and our best wishes for i, their prosperity and happiness in whatever pur suits they may engage, we doubt not that the ’ present arrangement may he made advantageous s to the patrons and principles of both papers— -1 and, with the professional pride and enterprise, ’ and well known talents, abilities, and literary ac quirements of Maj. Rockwell, will be. The principles of both being alike, a consolidation of 1 tho interests, patronage, and profits of both, with | (ho expenses of only one, will enable (he new i and energetic proprietor, to make such improve . ments as cannot fail to be beneficial to the good cause, and gratifying to his patrons, as well as ultimately, beneficial to himself; and from our knowledge of his talents, enterprize, public-spirit, and liberality, we feel assured, that no pains will be spared to improve the interest and value of his establishment to its numerous patrons, and advance the great and good cause of which he is so able and zealous a champion.—Tho following is his announcement of the change referred to: The subscriber, late Editor of the Times and State Rights Advocate, has become the proprietor of tho Georgia Journal; the two papers arc there fore united, and will be hereafter conduated under the title of the Georgia Journal. WM. S. ROCKWELL. “RAIL ROAD From the banks of the Ohio river, to the tide waters of the Carolina* and Georgia. Cin cinnati, Printed by James U Gazlay, 1835.” This is the title of a highly interesting pamph let of 30 pages, containing the Report and pro ceedings of a Public Meeting of the citizens of Cincinnati, in favor of a Rail Road from that city to the Atlantic, in Carolina or Georgia, together with a map of the suggested route, and sundry correspondence, &c. in relation thereto. The project is a highly interesting one, to the citizens of Augusta, as well as many other places, and we will therefore re-publish the entire pamphlet as soon as wo can find room for it, as well as the proceedings of a meeting on the subject in Charles ton, where it lias been very favourably and spirit edly received, and will be very strongly and ably encouraged. That it will terminate in Charles ton, there can be no doubt; and the main question is, whether it shall pass through this city or Co lumbia, S. C. whose citizens are alive to the sub ject, and making preparations to take it up in a suitable manner. Will not the citizens of Au gusta do so, too 1 The advantages arc decidedly in our favor, and must give us the preference, if they bo not neglected till it is too late. Tho Charleston and Athens Rail Roads form the best possible route for it, and would of course greatly lessen tho expense of it; and we understand that the Athens Company will agree to extend their Rail Road to Clarksville, as a further inducement for it to pass this way—an inducement altogether too important, wo should think, to ho declined. The objection which wo and others have hereto fore had to the Athens Road, have been altogether removed by a most important arrangement with the Stockholders of this city, by which a junction between it and the Charlcton Rail Road will he entirely prevented—by making tho width of tho former to differ with that of the latter, and keep ing their terminations ssme distance apart —so that Augusta cannot be made a mere thorough fare by them, and must continue a depot for the produce and merchandize passing through it. We shall refer to the subject again hereafter; and in the meantime, the citizens of Augusta and Clarks ville, and on tho entire Georgia route, should be up and doing, at once, and cuter into the matter with energy and spirit, CALCAREOUS MANURES. The following communication was handed to us by a highly intelligent gentleman, who has devoted much attention to agricultural subjects, after reading Mr. Ruffin’s admirable Essay on Calcareous Manures; and, considering his opini ons highly valuable, it affords us much pleasure to lay them before our readers, and recommend them to their attention : To the Editor of the Chronicle : Sih: —At your request, I have read “Ruffin’s Essay on Calcareous Manures,” which you were ] kind enough to place in my hands. I derived | from tho perusal of it, tho highest gratification ; because I became entirely satisfied, by his reason ing and experiments, that the large bodies of lands j in our State, which I have regarded as reduced j to a state of hopeless sterility, by an improvident | system of culture, may be resuscitated, at an ex- 1 pense far less than I had supposed possible. i The shell deposit, which in Virginia is being ■ used so successfully to resuscitate lands worse ; worn than ours, extend through South Crrolina l f and Georgia; and, used in the same way here, j f it must produce tho same results. Then vve have i j an abundance of the best limestone, in the N. • Western portion of the State, which, by proper management, may become a source of immense ! profit, to both that, and the middle region of the ' State—to tho former, as an article of export —to " tho latter, as an article wherewith to improve the 1 soil. ■ Let no one he discouraged, in his endeavors to ■ improve his soil. The example of Mr. Coke of f Norfolk, should animate every one. Ha has made 24 bushels of wheat to the aero on ati h estate of as sandy soil as S. Hampton, Virginia where probably two bushels an acre could not bt is obtained on an average: and many other farm >f in Norfolk yielded much better wheat than M 18 Coke’s in 1834, when Mr. Young’s survey wa i, made. Several farms averaged 30 bushels, an re one of 40 is stated, and tho general average i s, | tho county was 24 bushels. Yet tho county ol ie j Norfolk was formerly pronounced by Charles H to be only fit to cut up into strips to make roads for the rest of the kingdom ; and that sportive do- scription expressed strongly the sandy nature ol the soil, as well as its then state of poverty. ’ The success of the planters of lower Virginia ought moreover to have its influence. Those who wish for information on that subject should “ buy Mr. Ruffin’s Essay. What he says of Vir- giuia, is equally applicable to this region, viz:— “The use of Calcarious Manures is destined to change a large portion of the soil of Lower, Vir c g ginia from barrenness to fertility—which, added to the advantages we already possess—our navi gable waters, and convenient markets, the facili ’ ty of tilling our landsin 1 tho choice of crops c offered by our climate—will all concur to increase C tenfold tho present value of our land, and produce 1 more farming profit than has been found clso , Where, on soils far more favored by nature. Pop . illation, wealth, and learning, will keep pace with j the improvement of the soil—and we and our j children will have reason to rejoice, not only as r farmers, hut ns Virginians, and as patriots.” Respectfully, A. B. 1 THE SENTINEL—CONTINUED. f “If” says the -Sentinel, “no ciicurnstancea 1 will justify tho Nullifier ill voting for a Union * man, no circumstances will justify the Union I man in voting for the Nullifier.”—True—hut we have never contended that “no circumstances will justify the Nullifier in voting for a Union man ;” & therefore this argument is iirelevant and disin , genuous, and the deductions from it wholly with out point. On any question in which Nullification is not, and cannot become, at all involved, direct ly or indirectly, we can see no inconsistency or impropriety in a Nullifier voting for a Union man; hut was such tho case in the question before us ! Was nullification not involved in tho late elec tion! Was not our candidate for Governor, a Nullifier, nominated as such, and his opponent a thorough Federalist; and did not the papers on each side proclaim them to be fair representatives of their respective parlies, and of Nullification and Anti-Nullification 1 Did we not oppose Judge Schley, not only as an Anti-Nullifier, but a rank Federalist; and is not Gon. Flournoy as rank a Federalist as he ! Is there any consis tency or decency in violently opposing one man as a Federalist, and at the same lime nominating and supporting another man, equally a Federalist'! But, you say, we are opposed to Mr. Van Huron ; and Gon. Flournoy is so, too, while Judge Schley and Gen. Walker arc Van Buren men. Agreed: But have you no Anti-Van Duron men in your own ranks, who are not Federalists and Anti- Nullificrs, that you must thus seek out one from among your opponents ! Or is Anti-Van Burcu ism so sacred a principle, that all other principles, together with decency and consistency, must ho set at nought on its account! Is Nullification not involved in tho support of Judge White, who is opposed to it, and voted to annihilate it forever in the blood of its advocates; and who, if elected President, and another Force-Bill should come before him, would be bound by consistency and decency to approve it, and assault our princi ples with tho sword and bayonet! It is mon strous to support such a man, and prelcnd a regard for our principles ; and, indeed, vve have conversed with no intelligent Nullifier on tho subject, but what readily admitted that our course is strictly right in principle, honesty, and consis tency, hut that we should be ruined forever by pursuing it, since, if Van Buren is elected, there is an end to our party and its principles forever. What an admission is this ! Surely they who make it cannot have reflected that it is a virtual abandonment of all faith in principle, honesty, and consistency; and of all reliance on God, and his aid and support of the right, for a reliance solely on ourselves, and our own feeble and nar row views of policy and expediency, and their effects on the future. It such men would admit this, and declare it to the world, wo should at least admire their consistency; but when we hear them occasionally say, notwithstanding, that “honesty is the best policy,” “truth is mighty, and must prevail,” and declare their devotion to prin siple, vve are lost in wonder at such a “confusion worse confounded” of right and wrong, and think that reflection must have “fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason.” One thing is certain : if it bo right, for Nullificrs to support Gen. Flournoy and Judge While, j and it can be done on any other ground than per ! sonal ambition, pi ivate interest, and party success, then vve have lost the power to distinguish be tween right and wrong; and a reliance, that j God will sustain and support those who trust in | him, and strictly adhere to right and the dictates of conscience and duly, regardless of seeming j danger and alluring temptation, is a vile mockery, ! and ought to be so declared to the world. If vve thought so, we would hesitate to do It, too —or if vve can be made to believe it. However, if wc had any doubt of the propriety 1 of our own course, it could not bo increased by ! the precepts of one who has never manifested, by | his firmness and consistency, much confidence in \ his own. Happening to know something of his ! I course, vve could not, even as a party man, place ’ j implicit reliance on tho party firth of one who * would secretly join with his opponents against j his own party, for tho sake of office—or, as a man of principle, on the devotion to Nullification, of 0 one who was in favor of the outrageous mandate ’f of the Supreme Court against his own Stale, in a ,i, O caS (, of the Missionaries, Worcester and Bnt n lcr _ and declared, it is said, his readiness to shoul a, dcr his musket in its support 1 Yct he is “ still a ie Nullifier— aye, and speaks it with pride and ex es ultalion, a South Gaiioi.ixa Nuluifif.b and Ir. declares that “ they (‘ the principles of Nullifies ras lion,’) require of him to maintain her (his Stale’s) nd judgment, with all his morel and physical cncr of gics;’’ and, “in case of a collision between his 1.1 . min. ’Mill. -■■■«<i n I mil 1.. >f State and tho General Government, to rccoru I, mend to tho former, neither submission nor so Is cession, but tho moral force of law against law 5- and Judge against Judge.” Now, though wi if approve of South Carolina Nullification, it scemi quite enough to us to be a Georgia Nullifier a and vve can sec in neither, or any kind of Null! ie fication.any consistency between such sentiments d and an approval of the tyrannical and oxlra-judi •- cial mandate of the Supreme Court, against both - tho “law,” the “judgment,” and the “judge” o 0 his own Stale. And for his policy, too; Now, as an advocatt ' of Judge White, was it good policy, while tin * opposite party rather leaned to him, and shewed ■ strong manifestations of dislike to Van Buren a and difficulty of uniting on him, to make a vir e tuui party nomination of the former, and thereby decide them at once against him, as a party oppo nent, and “ the Nnllifiets’ candidate,” and afford - tho best possible pretext to the Van Buren lead 1 ers to excite and decide them against him, and r unite them, as they then did, on Van Buren ! 5 Or, was it good policy, iu the late election, while advocating Gen. Flournoy, and striving to con ciliate tho feelings and support of the Union men, to make a violent personal assault, at tho very i last moment, on their principal leader in this i county, under whom they had so long rallied' , and which was of all things calculated, at such a , moment, to excite and irritate, rather than conci- I Hate. If his policy be right, in the name of rea son, let him shew some firmness, consistency, and . efficiency, in that, too, if he would recommend it to others. “ What” says he “do the Nullifier’s principles require of him! To vote for a Nullifiei, whether he be a Van Buren man, Webster man, or Troup man! To vote for a Nullifier, regardless of his views upon every thing else hut State rights and State remedies ! To vote for him in prefer ence to a Union man who is superior in every moral and intellectual qualification! To vote for nobody but a Nullifier, under any and all circum stances ! If these be the principles of Nullifica tion, we now know them for tho first time; and wo despise them.”—Does ho mean to intimate that these are our views) If so, where arc his grounds for such an intimation! He knows that he lias none. Why, then, introduce them here, unless ns “ a false witness against his neighbor,” ; and to give him an opportunity, which truth did 1 not warrant, of assailing his principles, and dc- I daring that lie “ despised them." We need no such aid to justify our opinion of his. His main, (we might almost say only) ground of justification for his nomination and support of Gen. Flournoy, is, that he is “an Anti-Van Buren man;” and we have argued the matter so far, under a virtual admission that such is lire fact. How far he was justified in supporting him as such, under all the attendant circumstances, we have endeavored to show; but what must be come of his entire justification, if such was not the lact! What says Gen. Flournoy himself, in re ply to the request that ho would consent to ho a candidate! He remarks, “That lam opposed to the Baltimore proceedings adverted to by you, is most true. I know very little of Mr. Van Buren, and therefore will not take it upon myself to de cide, whether or not, ho is a fit person for the Presidency.”—ls any one justified liy this, in declariug Gen. Flournoy an Anti-Van Buren man! We think not, unless they would bo jus tified in declaring us no Nullifier, because wc arc opposed to the policy of some Nullifiers. An honest Van Buren man—such as Gen. Flournoy is, if a Van Buren man, but we are unaware that he is—might well bo opposed to the vicious intrigues and trickeries of the Baltimore Conven tion. Judging from the letter —and it is tire only means of judgment we have, at least—we think the new friends of Gen. Flournoy cannot be thought to have been more scrupulous in regard to liis political opinions on this point, than any other.—But lie is “an Anti-Caucus man.” In deed ! And pray what sort of “an Anti-Caucus man” is the editor of the Sentinel. Ho has been, wc presume, a Van Buren man, and in favor of the previous Baltimore Convention ; and if so, wbcrc is the difference between Mr. Van Buren’s character and principles, now and then—or be tween tho recent and former Baltimore Conven tion ! If the recent one was a Caucus, was not the former one a Caucus, too; and what has changed his opinion in relation to Caucuses! Where is the difference bitween a Caucus and a Convention! Arc they not merely different names for tho same tiling! Or, does Caucus mean, in his view, a perverted Convention ! Ho is not opposed to Conventions; witness his approbation of the remit .State Rights Conven tion (or Caucus) at Miilodgcville; and if Can- \ cus means, in his vocabulary, a perverted Con- i vention, would not be and his Jiolicy coadjutors have made a complete Caucus of that, if they bad not been boldly and determinate!/ resisted— and foisted upon the party a man to whom it was as much opposed, as tho White Jackson men were to Van Buren? Away witii this ban dying of mere names, which they who complain of the perversion of that of Nullification, ought to be ashamed of. A Convention is nothing more than a Caucus, under a new name, and is a very good thing under either, when properly used, and not abused i and they who would uso them, to say nothing of those who would also abuse them, should deal fairly with the people, and ■ oppose the Baltimore Convention, not because it was a Caucus, but because it was an abused and perverted otic. Wc dont like to see a man, whether friend or opponent, (but ten times worse the former,) opposed to Conventions or Caucuses . when resorted to by opponents, and as readily advocate them when adopted by friends. A long [ persistence in such conduct, in the face of a plain . and simple people, confounds and confuses tiicir ! notions of right ami wrong, and at leng'h dev . troys their confidence in public men of all parties, j and renders them as selfish, corrupt, and insincere, ,r«r ii..— a- as they who sot them such examples. Is not 0- this tho general state to which the country lias v, arrived, and must it not end in tho utter destruc to lion of tho country, if not soon arrested! Is is there no one to see it—no one to aid in arresting ■; it! Shall we go on thus, mutually corrupting 1- and corrupted, deceiving and deceived, till general s, anarchy and corruption seal the fate of another i- Republic! Deny it who may, the whole country h is near tho verge of ruin—brought there by tho jf very policy against which we arc now contending —and yet men shut their eyes to tho awful gulf , e that yawns before them, and still rush on blindly | 1C and madly toward it. j “When” says tho Sentinel, “there is nothing j ‘ in tho state of tho country which calls, oris liko r. ly to call, for the exercise of those principles, y (Nullification,) it leaves its champions at liberty to shake hands with their old foes if they choose, j and to fight under the common standard, against [ any common enemy.”—Now, docs tho Sentinel j mean to say that tho issue of Nullification is at i an end, and that its champions are at liberty to 0 lay it aside, anil take up whatever else they choose! Is not tho great test of all our elections, still Nul lification and Anti-Nullification! Is not the y main question between the declared principles of s the two parties, and those principles Nullification , and Anti-Nullification l Is not a surrender or , evasion of lids contest, a surrender or evasion of . those principles! Has it not long been the policy . of tile Sentinel and its coadjutors, to surrender lor evade that contest! Have not our opponents t determined, in despite of all they can or would do, to keep up the cry of Nullification, and make ( j it their party watchword—conscious of tho gene r ral ignorance and misapprehension of its true i , principles, and that so long as tho Nullifiers them- 1 , selves exhibit alarm at it, and endeavor to c s vude it, nothing is easier Ilian to make it ap . pear to the people in xvhatever odious light they I choose! And, aware of this, and that there was r no way of evading tho issue, so long as our op - ponents chose to press it upon us, and that noth ■ ing but continual defeat end disgrace, both to the party and its principles, could result from an ova ! sion of those principles, lias not this paper again ; and again stood atone, in opposition to that policy, , while those who secretly opposed our course sel , dom ventured to do so openly, conscious that it ' was right, and could not be fairly and openly op -1 posed! Does not the whole history of Nullifl . cation, botlt iu this Slate' and elsewhere, fully 0 prove, that wherever it has been openly and bold ly advocated by the party, both it and the party ] have triumphantly succeeded, and that both Jiavc f boon defeated, wherever attempts have been made ,to evade it! Is not this conclusive, as to our course and that of the Sentinel! And, opposed ns we have been, both by friends and foes, nine! we not inevitably have been crushed, long ago, but for the intrinsic virtue of tiro principles, and | tiro unquestionable and invincible correctness of ' our course !—lf lire issue of Nullification were ( at an end, how happened it that Dougherty and Schley wore held forth as true representatives of i the principles of their respective parlies, and ad- * voealed and opposed as such ! No, the issue of ( Nullification ia not at an end, and never can be, | so long as it is violently opposed on one side, and I attempted to bo evaded on tho other; hut, let its * friends all openly and fairly advocate it, andiron ostly and consistently adhere to it, till it is proper- t ;y understood by the people, and it would then ' soon be at an end, in complete success. ( If Rome must fall by “ demagogues,” it is cer- r tainly a matter of little consequence to those op- t posed to all demagogues, whether it be by one j set of demagogues or another! Who arc greater | demagogues than they who hesitate not to jirac- ) tisc, themselves,whatever they assail in opponents, i or even to preach one thing, and practise ano- 1 ther, in the very same breath! Are tlwsc tho J men to save Rome, call themselves what they may ; or can any follow them, or pretend to be lieve in their professions, but they who are also t influenced by a desire, not to save Romo, but to I share in the spoils which Rome must contribute, fc . let winch may bo the victors. Wc have not ( “ looked passively on tire gathering of ail these evils over Rome, while wo were diggingabout and watering lire tree of Nullification.” On the con- c trary, we have opposed them in every shape, and t by whomsoever committed, and have not traitor- ' . . t ously refrained from opposition because our own friends were the offenders. So far from ours be- t ing “ the consolation, when Romo was on tiro, of 1 refusing to put it out, because a Nullifier did not hand the bucket,” wc raised the cry of fire when ‘ every "other print in tho State denied that there was j fire, and refused to hand a bucket; and have ne- „ ver hesitated to applaud every one, whether friend f jor opponent, who honestly lent a hand, and did 1 | his duty, in any way; and we have still kept up 1 I the cry, and called aloud for buckets, while others i ridiculed our efforts, and,willing that Romo should = bum on, so they might profit by it, devoted lliom- I selves assiduously to personal or party plunder. = So far from refusing a bucket from any but a Nul -1 lifier, shew us the paper that has been more | prompt to praise any correct conduct on the part t lof its opponents, or to oppose any that was incor- r , 1 reel on the part of its friends—heed less al- ’ ways, of plunder ourselves, and resolutely bent on ] opposing all those who attempted it, whether op- s ! ponents or friends. True, when we have seen a ' ’ man like Judge While, plainly attempt to set ( 1 Rome on fire, we have not been ready to believe L I him the friend of Rome, ami the very man to save v 1 1 it in the next fire that may occur; nor willing to J | aid in putting Romo under tho guidance and con- t trol of such an incendiary, even tho’ his oppo- a nent may be a justly suspected one also, tho’ not, 1 like him, a convicted one. Woe, woe to Rome, | when none but her incendiaries shall be consider- ’ ed worthy of her honors, and selected lo rule her 1 destinies; and when even those who profess to he r her host friends, shall select one incendiary to oppose another, and, m the very mid lof the im- ' ’ pending danger, think more of tiicir own sulety, , ’ and the chances of plunder, than tho safety and 1 ; welfare of tho city. Have we not been told agair i and again, that wo ought to support White, be. . cause if ho succeeded, sucli a man of our parly i would bo mode Secretary of State, &c. &c.! If this contending for Rome, or for tho plunder i And did not they who supported Gen. Flournoy, do so, not merely because lie was an Anti-Caucus or Anti-Van Buren man, but because they thouglil lie could best aid them, not in putting out the fire, but in pushing aside those who stand between • them and tile plunder ! Would they have sup s ported him if ho had been the selected candidate j of their opponents ! and would they not ns readily have supported any oilier Union man through whom they could hope to break tho ranks of their opponents, and seize tho offices and honors now in their hands! What has love of Romo to do with all this! As ono ol the most active and influential Union loaders remarked to us the other day, when wc told him that his party, notwithstanding their abuse of Nullification, would bo as ready to nul lify us ours, to suit their party purposes—“ Vos, it is a contest for more power, not principle, on both sides, and I have always said so.”—What has Romo to hope from such a contest!

Extract from the Presentments of the Grand Jury of tVarren County ; Wo would also take occasion to express our o pinion on a subject that agitates the whole South ern Country, and threatens, if not restrained or counteracted, to involve us in difficulties and in ruin. Wc allude to the abolition question. Without entering at large into the motives or mistaken notions of those deluded and misguided fanatics, we would express our decided disappro bation of their course, and our warm condemna tion oflheir principles. Relying on the Consti tution and the strength of our own arm for pro tection and security, and also on tho wisdom, in terest, and paternal feelings of a Considerable por tion of our Northern Brethren for their sympathy and active interference in our behalf, we believe that by proper legislation at tho North, and due vigilance and activity at the South, tho storm which now threatens tlie interruption of our in ternal tranquillity will pass by, without laying in ruins tlie temple of onr freedom, or leaving in our midst the ravages of its march. But lo prevent these evils, our Northern Brethren must alibrd us Legislative assistance ; —ami wc ourselves must be vigilant and active at home. As this subject may come before the Legislature for its action, we recommend onr Senator and Representatives, to uso sucli exertions as may be deemed necessa ry lo piotect our rights and secure the interests of the Southern States. The Weather, He. —The last Camtlen Jour nal, speaking of tho weather says—“Wo have been visited by several pretty heavy frosts this sea son, so that the foilago of our trees and the vege tation around, exhibits every symptom of the fall of the year. The Memphis, Ten. Gazette, of October 10, contains tlie following information respecting the cotton crop in that quarter of Tennessee: —“ On the 6th, 7th and Bth inst. wc had frosts, which have been exceedingly destructive to cotton in this quarter of the country. Wc have heard some of tlie planters say, that it xvonld knock of at least twenty-five per cent, which, in out estimation, is not an exaggerated estimate.” Death of Commodore Chaunry. —The Mobile Advertiser of the IBlh inst. says—“ We arc pain ed lo learn by privatq letters from Pensacola, that COMMODORE CHAUNCY died at that place on Wednesday last. Wo have learned no other particulars of this melancholy event. This mor ning's mail will probably furnish them in detail.” COMMEICUUVU.

AS some designing person or persons, in tho plenitude of their envy and malice, like “ fiends most foul,” have of late caused to bo cir culated reports lending to brand my name, with perpetual infamy and disgrace, by representing mo ns a friend to those misguided men, the Abo litionists of tho North, I embrace this opportuni ty to_assure my friends and acquaintances, and th« good people of the South generally, that all such reports are totally destitute of truth—evidently having their origin in the worst of motives, from whatever quarter they may come. For in truth, I never have at any time in my life, either aided or abetted or been in any way associated with any Anti-Slavery Society w hatever. And if the author or authors of the vile calumnies in ques tion, whoever they may be, for, I know them not) indulge the delusive hope that they can effect my ruin by such high-handed vitlany as that of im plicating mo in the designs of those diilurbert of the public peace (the Abolitionists) I desire them to understand, most explicitly, that, for once alleast, they have “ barked up the -wrong tree."
