A. Gonr.r & Co., No. 100, Wal- r nut-street, Philadelphia, at the low price of £2 f per annum, payable in advance. It contains a c large quantity of original matter, mostly of a . literary nature, and will be found an exceedingly , interesting and cheap publication, by those who ( may feci disposed to patronize it.' j I LADIES COMPANION. , Tho July Number (says the New York Co mi rr & Enquirer,) is published promptly at the time, and is, we fee! confident,the best that Mr. S.vow nr,s has yet issued. It is embellished by a fine view of the Navy Yard, and two pages of Music, 1 composed by J. Pearson —the words by J. J. Adams. There arc ten original articles, and among the number, a beautiful tale by Mrs. S. 0. ' Hall» Mr. J. J. Adams has also contributed a 1 'Graphic Piratical Sketch of this month. Wo 1 are glad to hear that the “Ladies Companion” j 1 continues rapidly and steadily to grow in favor, > I and that the additions to its subscription list du-, ring the past month, have been unprecedented. Indeed, we do not see why it should not be so; for, as it is amongst the most agreeable and best 1 conducted Miscellanies in the country ; so is it the cheapest —being the only one of its class that is published at three dollars a year. We hope its increasing patronage will enable its spirited ; i publisher to continue it at that low rate.” |. For the table of contents see advertising co- , lumns. | 1 von THE AUOt'STA I’IITIOXICLfc. 'TiiS FOURTH OF JULY, (833-t | ( Was celebrated at Jacksondobo’, in Scit'cn county, by the Stale Rights Association of that county, with their accustomed zeal and anima- | lion. At a preliminary meeting, held in the I Court House, a short time before, a direct and j immediate invitation was given to some of the j principal Union men, who happened to be pre sent, to join the Nullificrs, in their celebration,! for the purpose of comparing and discussing be-1 fore the people the respective political creeds of! both parties. They were offered equal privileges in the meeting, and an assurance of respectful treatment during the debate ; but those to whom the invitation was addressed thought it either proper, or prudent to decline the same ; although it is believed that tho mass of the Union men, if they had been present, would have met us in the same spirit, in which we proposed to meet them. At an early hour on the morning of the anni versary, the people began to assemble in crowds, and at 12 o’clock, M, a numerous and most intel ligent audience of ladies and gentlemen was con vened in the methodist church, when Tbomas M- si Rostov, Esq, read, in an appropriate style, the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions. EnWAtlii _ J. llsack, Esq. then addressed tho meeting (the Rev. Solomon Bryan in the Chair,) upon the ~ subject of Stale Rights, and the various doctrines X oi the day, directly and incidentally connecter g therewith, and instituted a comparison between Jm principles of the two parlies, that now un happily divide the people of Georgia. Tile limits lc of this article will not permit us to speak of the } address, a copy of which, when prepared, will hr forwarded for publication. The Rev, Mr. Ben — xi\o, who had opened tlio meeting with an ap 1, propriate and impressive prayer, dismissed the audience to a Barbecue, for the gentlemen, and e ( ] sumptuous dinner for the ladies, prepared in his s, j best style, by Mr. Joshua Penny. .V After the Barbacue, and the numerous good tilings which had been abundantly provided, ,f wore well disposed 01, the following regular and - volunteer toasts were drank; and after spending d the day, as it should he spent, in devotion to Üb crl.V, and reflection upon such matters of public n import as most nearly concerned them, the com pany separated at a late hour, without a single incident to mar the harmony of the meeting. REGULAR TOASTS, j Ist. The Day we celebrate. — Our fathers ■ have rendered it dear to tire friends of freedom, •_ throughout tlio world—should it cease to lie so, it will he through the degeneracy of their sons. , ‘-nd. Thomas Jbfpubsox.—The author of tho Declaration of Independence, and of the Virginia 1 and Kentucky Resolutions of ’9S and ’99. 3rd. The Stales. —Equal and Sovereign—the General Government the creature of their forma tion. Let not the creature set itself up above its creator. 4th. The Union. —Formed to establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the com mon defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves, and our posterity. We will cling to it only so long us it answers the ends of its formation. slh. The State o f Georgia, —She has aposta tized from her ancient faith, under the false cry oi Disunion. Nuliifiers yield .to no men in at tach met,l to constitutional Union, but have no attachment for any oilier. 6lh. Bon Shout, Esq.—We owe him much far his indefatigable research after oilr unheard of members of. Congress, I'll. The State Rights Congressional Ticket. —Distinguished for talents and patriotism. If suc cessful, the honor of the State will never ha , been entrusted to safer hands. Btli. II i;n tty A.

The Seminole Campaign. —ls (ho Ad ministration has reaped hut little honor from its result, it has afforded an opportunity to Georgia, and Carolina, to test the bravery and patriotism of tile r sons. I Oth. The President of the IT. Stales. — About to retire from office, his parental solicitude is still exercised towards his children, in numinu. ling for them “the Caesar:” a man, too, of such noble candour and independence, as to board the old Hero to his teeth with a public declaration that it was honor enough for him to have served under such a chief. 11th. “One Reuben M. Whitney” —The ir responsible agent of millions, between the Gov ernment and the little monsters; and the murder ers of Owens, a free citizen of the U. States Such is their connection with the Government, that though‘publicly accused of high misdemea nors against tho majesty of this people, yet a foil investigation into their delinquencies is refused by tho peoples Representatives. Until the days of Sylia, such impunity to crime and corruption was never awarded to a Roman culprit. 13th. The Baltimore Convention. —Gotten up in corruption, at the request of Jackson; and to prove to tho world that it was the very essence of fraud and corruption, they look up a stray Sieam Doctor, by the name of Rucker, and gave him a seat in the Convention, with power to cast the vole of Tennessee, which he did in favour of Martin Van Huron. Is not this an insult to eve ry honest man in these United Stales, and more particularly to the Slate of Tennessee 1 13th. Mies Pinckney, of South Carolina. — Her pen and her purse were devoted to the cause of her State, the South, and ftio Constitution of her country. With such daughters, no wonder Carolina can boast of her sons. VOLUNTEER TOASTS. By Col. Aug. Seaborn Jones. The distribu tion of the Surplus Revenue among the States. — All revenue, directly or indirectly levied upon the country, above tho legitimate wants of the Gov ernment, we hold to bo robbery of the people, and Iho only deposite fur such money, that justice ! requires, is the pockets of those who have him ! cstly earned it; yet, under existing ciroumsian ces, wo hail this measure as tho first effectual I harder that has been raised for years against the consolidating tendency of the Government. By James R. Kent. Party names, pud sec tional interest may divide us, but when the in terest and policy of Georgia are to be sustained, 1 Hugh L. White, for President, and Eiiwarii 1 J.

What could old Scott have been thinking of when he left the handful of men in the Withlacoochee block house t il “'I he rain it raincth—tho goose it winketh, c, But litle dues the gander knuwou what the gus ic liu thiuketh,” [Old Song.] s- • PROM KNOXVLbI’. Knoxville, (Tenn.) July 6th, 1836. y Sir: —The Rail Road Convention met day 1C before yesterday, and in addition to tho Repro r. senlativcs, nearly 400 in number, which tho oc casion has brought together at this place, we have is die assemblage of Troops and tho noise and i 9 confusion of military preparaiions. 2500 Ten- Ie lles “ ( ' e Volunteers, all on tho march for the fron al tiers, called into service by their old Chief, the President, and big with the prospect of riding -r rough shod over the Chetukees and Creeks, Up !r °n the suggestion, that the Georgians will have . terminated tho contest before tho Tennesseans y could possibly reach tho scene of action, and lr that a call for such a force from the latter Stale 9) was unnecessary, we wore told, not so fast, old Jackson and litllo Van know what they are about. ~ “The Georgians cannot conquer the Creeks, and a if the Tennesseans do not go to their aid, Neah i. Micco will do what Bill Weatherford told Jackson i he would have done hut for him”—“make corn on tho West bank of Alabama, and whip tho c Georgians on the East.” So you see, that old , Jackson and his Lieutenant Van, think it neces „ s aiy lo scud the Tennesseeans to pul an end to e tho Creek War, as they think the Georgians and Alabamians cannot do iti All humbug to secure I the succession to his Lieutenant Van Buren, and ,l to weaken White’s interest in Tennessee. The j country is to he amused with wars and rumors of wars; the Treasury to he exhausted in mmeoes , sary expenditures, least there should he a surplus i for distribution, and tho people harrassod with vexatious drafts, and all to divert public attention v from their political affairs, and tiius secure the i. election of Van Buren. I have seen and learnt more of political man i- agement, since my arrival hero, being a plain ,1 country farmer, than I have witnessed in all my t life before, and all to gratify the personal revenge . °f ihe President, and tho ambition of his Lieu , tenant Martin Van Buren, The people, however, will I trust, have their eyes opoN lo the game , which is playing, and the Georgians, at least, not f yieU to the dictation of a man who has named his successor, and who insults the Volunteers of Georgia now, as he did in former dayj, by telling them that if he does not send iho Tennesseans to their aid, the JJreeks will raise corn on the * West of the Chattahoochee, and fight and whip the Georgians on Ihe East. He must indeed think it necessary lo send “good troops” to fight tile battles of Georgia, t “ A GEORGIA CRACKER. The Pubdc Lands. —We learn that (ho Sec ! relary ol tho Treasury has closed several of the Western land offices; and wo observe that Iho newspapers in that quarter complain that the peo ple arc pul to much inconvenience on that ae count. This is indeed, iho age of HUMBUGS. Who could have doubted that the heads of de partments and members of Congress, who have gono s.) largely into (he purchase of public lands, 1 would not find some pretence to shut Ihe land of fices'! It is part of Iho plan. They first borrow the money, they then get up a lido of emigration, by puffing tho West—the great West—and when ! the honest settler reaches his new homo, lie finds 1 that the land offices are closed, and that lie is compelled to buy from Amos Kendall, or Mr. 1 Allorncy General Butler, or their Agents, hind bought with the Government money at Govern- * menl price. Does any one believe tjiat Amos * Kendall or Mr. Butler, after having boirowed ‘ money (o purchase hind, would sell it without a 1 profit 1 And does not every one soo that, if tire 1 honest emigrant cannot buy from the Govern- * menl, ho may buy from the speculators 1 And, is any one so blind as nntlo see the why and where fore ihe Western lurid offices have been closed?— U.

( j New Oni,kins Market, July 9. b Cotton. —At rived since the Ist instant, 1199 J hales. Cleared in the same time 7957 hales, ma- t king a reduction in stock of 6758, and leaving on 1 hand, inclusive of all on shipboard not cleared t on the 7th instant, a stock of 44,788 hales. Since p our last report, the market has remained remaika- ( hly quiet and inactive; indeed wo could baldly C expect it to ho otherwise now, when the stock on o sale has grown so small, and so many buyers have S left the place. Some circtimslnn-es may oira- h sionally arise to give a momentary impulse to op- 1: orators, and cause them to quicken their move- fi rnents a lit lie, hut should this resendde former years, wo may expect that business will, from this time forward, drawl along at u very slow pace, until the season is finally closed. From the sales “ which we annex below, it will he perceived that Tennessee and North Alabama Cottons have brought lolly half a cent more this week, than die lowest prices of the week previous, and it is owing, wo presume, to holders insisting on the advanced currency, that transactions have been so exceedingly limited—-only amounling to about 3000 hales, and sold as follows, viz; Os Louisi ana and Mt»»iss ; ppi 43 at 15*, 82 at 10*, 300 at 15*, of’l’enneisee and North Alabama 933 at 13*, loat 13, 107 at 13, 800 at 13, 350 at 13J, t 89 at 13 cents, and 63 Florida at 15* cents. * There is no change to notice in Lnuisianas ami 1 Mississippi*; they are held in about the same cs- *j mation and very scarce. Sugar. — New Orleans The maiket re- 11 mains excessively doll. We continue to quote !* the same rates as previously, 10 a ll* cents, hut ' the highest of these is now only obtainable for " vo-y small lots of the choicest quality; what is ( , called a tolerably fair article may be bad for about 10* cents. Havana Honaiis—Prices of both IVhile and Drown arc without variation, and the greatest stillness pervades i Molasses. — Wo have not been able to learn j anything new in relation to Molasses; the smr/ll | j ■ |nanli tv ollbring is didienlt of sale at from 35 a 37 cents per gallon.— Levy’s Price Current.
