The spirit of mob violence is gaining 11 fearful ascendancy throughout the whole country ; and to no single cause can \vc attribute its progress and universal preva lence more justly, than to Hie exertions of the abolition fanatics, with whom the Most High, in the plenitude ofliis wisdom, lias seen lit, for some inscrutable purpose, to visit this unfortunate country. Their infamous and treasonable doctrines and practices, arc the immediate and exciting cause of nine-tenths of (lie riots which have occurred for some time past. Like jealousy, the spirit of lawless violence grows with what it feeds on; and the fre quent occurrence of justifiable abolition riots, generates mid fosters a disposition in the minds of the people to resort to mob force upon other occasions, when, if they had not been excited, and goaded into taking the administration of justice into their own hands by the nefarious proceed ings of the abolitionists, they would have quietly suffered the law to take its own course. Thus, the abolitionists arc not only the immediate cause of the riots which have been directed against them selves,hut they are also indirectly the cause of all the numerous instances of mob vio lence, of whatever kind or character, which, within the last few years, have brought so much disgrace upon the coun try. And yet, these bigoted violators of property, law and religion, have the impu dence to complain of the ills which they bring upon themselves, by (heir own de liberate misconduct. They unwarranta bly interfere with the rights of others— they wantonly jeopardise the comfort, hap piness, and even existence oflhe black, as well as the white population, of the South —they endanger the preservation of the Union, and the peace of the country—-they outrage public opinion, and excite the pas sions of the people. And when, for nil these misdeeds, (hey are visited with a just and proper punishment, they cry nut per secution—complain that their rights arc invaded—that the laws of the country arc violated and endeavor, by their canting appeals to the sympathies of a few old wo men, to acquire for themselves the credit of martyrs in the support of principle. Imi tating the stolidity of the ostrich, who, pur sued, buries Ins head in the sand, and fan cies Ins whole body concealed, they dis guise their faces the in mask of religion, and foolishly imagine that the people can not see the whole of their moral and poli tical deformity. For their sufferings, in person and pro perly, from the administration of mob law, the abolitionists have only themselves to blame. If they will persist in amusing themselves by scattering, indiscriminately, the firebrands of social discord, they must not be astonished if, in the sport, they should happen to burn their own fingers. It they will persist in outraging public o pinion, (hey must not be surprised if the consequences to themselves are sometimes as summary and severe as they are de served. As well might the abolitionists amuse themselves with goading an animal to phrenzy, and then find fault with him, because he turns and rends (hem. These remarks have been caused by the various notices which we have been of (he late abolition riot in Cincinnati, No one regrets more sincerely than wc do, the frequent occurrence of such disgrace ful scenes, but vve are free to confess our gratification at the result, The city of Cincinnati has been purged for some time at least from abolition fanaticism—a most pernicious establishment broken up, and I a few obstinate bigots who persisted in set ! ting up their opinions in opposition to the j dictates of religion, law, common sense I aqd decency, have been taught u lesson, I by which vve hope they will profit in future, j Wc look upon this riot precisely like the ! one directed against the gamblers at Vicks burgh. Whether in cither case the end sanctifies the means wc know not, neither do wc care to inquire, Prom the Stair Bights Sentinel. THE RIGHT OF INSTRUCTION. Much has been written and spoken by the Van Huron parly, insisting upon the nmpialilied right of instruction on the part of the constituent, and (lie obligation of the representative to yield implicit obedience. Our object at present is not to discuss that question, or to set forth the extent of our own faith in the modern doctrine of in structing Senators out of their seats; 0111 opinions upon that subject shall not he withheld whenever it is necessary or pro per to let them he known. Our object is to show that if it is the hounden duly of the representative to obey (he known wish es ofhis constituents, that then our own representatives in Congress, with (he hon orable exception of tien. Glascock, have set at nought the known will of the peo ple of Georgia, & violated that very right which has of late been the constant theme of party panegyric. The newspapers of thta partyjin this State, have literally pour ed out the vials of their wrath upon the Senators in Congress from other Slates, for refusing to obey the instructions of their Legislatures, and aid in expunging the journals of the Senate; an object, the ac complishment of which, couhi neither ho salutary or noble in the example which it would set, or actually beneficial to the people or ( lhu interests of any section ol the country. Hut now, when their own par tizans in Congress have been guilty of a flagrant dereliction of duly to their consti tuents, and have violated the instructions ofqur own Legislature, upon a subject of unlimited importance to onr future happi ness and peace, we hear not a whisper of disapprobation ; wc see not u paragraph of reproof While the right ofinstruction can avail any thing (or the benefit of Van Ilmen, it is the subject of their highest eulogy, the theme of their unceasing cla mor; hut when obedience to instructions will place their partizans in opposition to the position of that gentleman on the ques tion of the right of Congress to abolish sla very in the District of Columbia, thoy ore as silent ns iftliey hud gone to (ho resting place of the dead. It will ho remembered that onr Legisla ture at its last session, passed with uncom mon unanimity, a preamble and resolu tions on the subject of Abolition.—ln that preamble it is declared, after selling forth the determination and duty of the people of the State, to defend and protect their domestic rights, that “ upon thin jwinl there can he no discussion-—no comprom ise—no doubt which explicit declara tion is followed.up by those decisive reso lutions : fill). Resolved, That (lie District of Columbia, and (ho several territories of the United States, are (ho common pro perty of the people of those Slates; that the right of exclusive legislation in the the former, and (ho right to make all need ful rules and regulations for (ho govern ment of (he latter, which arc vested in the Congress oflhe United Slates, are derived from (he Constitution, which recognises and guaranties the rights resulting from domestic slavery; and that any interfer ence by that body, with those lights, will be unauthorised by, and contrary to the spirit ol that sacred charter of American liberty. 7th. Resolved, That copies of the fore going preamble and resolutions ho trans mitted by His Excellency to the President ol the United Slates, the Governors of Iho respective States, and to (he Senators and Representatives of this State in Con gress. In the first of the above resolutions, it is distinctly set forth that although Congress lias the exclusive right to legislate for the District of Columbia, yet (he same consti tution which gives that power, guaranties the right ol slavery, and that any interfor i ence by Congress with that right, (viz. the rigid ol slavery in the I listrict of Columbia,) will be a violation ofthal constitution. Such is (ho plain meaning and sense oflhe reso lution—such was the intention of the Le gislature—and snob is (lie opinion of the people of Georgia. No oilier rational construction can lie put upon it, for it will admit ot no other. The next resolution directs the Governor to transmit copies of the preamble and resolutions to our repre sentatives in Congress. For what pur pose ? To be thrown under the table or ■ cast Into the fire ? or rather was il not for 1 the purpose of being to them a letter of in -1 structions, if the subject should in any 1 manner be brought lip before Congress, informing them ofthe opinions and wishes . of the people of Georgia upon the subject 1 of Abolition, mid expressly telling them I that it was one upon which there could he . no discussion, no compromise, no doubt ? s Such was the object, the solo and only ob > jectof the Legislature. It would have ; boon folly, absurdity, to have sent these resolutions to our members of Congress ; for any other purpose. And how were the instructions obeyed ? 1 low were the wish ■ cs and opinions of the people of Georgia ■ maintained on the floor of Congress, by those to whom she had entrusted that sa cred duty ? Let facts answer; let the truth be told. The resolutions of Mr. Pinkney declared that it was unconstitutional to in terfere with slavery in Iho States, mid in ■ expedient to interfere with il in the Dis , trict of Columbia, leaving l!i« inference to i be conclusively drawn that it was not nn > constitutional,or at best, that it was a mat , ter ol doubt. For these resolutions onr I members,.except Gen. Glascock, all voted, ’ thereby violating the instructions of the , Legislature and iho will of the people, by . s tillering the question of slavery to be made 1 a subject ot discussion ; hv tngloriously 1 compromising the constitutional question as (0 the District, and leaving u“loop or hook” for the abolitionists to haim hopes of future excitement upon. Reso lutions were offered (by Mr. Robertson of Vhgtuiii, we believe,) declining in unequi vocal language, (hat Congress did not u possess the power to interfere with slavery a in the District; yet our representatives t voted down these resolutions and sustain- t cd those which compromised that question, « and which Mr. Pinckney introduced ex- I pressly as compromising resolutions, to > calm the public mind, by which Southern < members forbore to press the constitution- I al question as to the District, in consider- 1 ation of Northern members yielding the constitutional question as to the States, 1 and the expediency as to both. Our mein- i hers it is true, voted (hat it was inexpc- ; dienl to interfere w ith slavery in the Dis- j irict, hut voted to leave the constitutional point in doubt. And what was their vote worth? Nothing J Expediency relates only to the present time, and what may he inexpedient to-day, may become expedient to-morrow, or the next day. If they had decided as they should have done, the constitutional point, then the whole qnes lion would have been foreclosed to the abolitionists, and a stop been put to their insulting memorials, and (lie public mind at (he South relieved from that uneasiness which is justly felt for tlio triumph of the incendiaries on that point. Hut the worst part of the whole story is yet to he told. These members are the partizans and friends of Van Huron, and their guilt in deserting the rights of the South and violating the instructions ofthe Legislature, is rendered ten fold deeper ■ by the fact that it was dictated by a de grading subserviency to his interests in preference to those of their constituents.— 'I hat such a course was necessary to save Mr. Van Huron in the South is as easy of demonstration ns any problem in mathe matics. Ho himself believes that Con gress has the right under the Constitution ■ to abolish slavery in the District of Colum bia, and if his partisans had decided other wise in Congress, it would have placed them in opposition to him upon a question ot all others the most tender to the South, and shut their mouths forever from elec tioneering in favor oflhe man whose prin ciples they hud voted down in Congress upon that important subject. In addition to that, it would have placed his own opin ions in too bold relief before the South, and have made them too conspicuous an object of attack, when unsupported by the antagonist position of his leading friends, lienee the necessity ofevading the direct • constitutional question, a vote upon which would have placed them cither in opposi tion to Van Huron or to their contitnonts; the first of which alternatives would have mined him, and the latter, them. And now wo ask the intelligent people of Georgia if they are content thus to ho sacrificed for tho-benefit of Van Huron or any one else ? Is (he consideration of , electing that political cormorant, whoso motto is “to the victors belong the spoils of tlio vanquished,” and whose appetite is satisfied with nothing short of supreme do minion for himself, and offices for his fa vorites, and universal proscription of his opponents, a sufficient one for the sacri fice ? Are they willing thus to ho sold and bartered with all their dearest rights for the benefit of those who arc to reap of fice by the success of Van Huron, as a re ward for their treachery ? Trom the XJ. S. Telegraph. " The world is governed 100 much .”— This has been (lie motto of this paper— the philosophical, political (ruth under which its ellorts have been directed since its establishment. The government of , the world has been entrusted through ages t of crumbling crime to the hands of a few, ( while the mass have submitted them- , selves to flic direction of those whom cir- , cumstattcc of birth or popular acclama- , lion had raised to the chief command. Al J times a Solon with all the wisdom inci- ( dent to a peculiar age, has lifted its head , among (he forests of men who have flour- j ished upon the bosom ofthe earth, and , by his superior talents been enabled to ( give warning of the hurricanes that sweep at limes with devastating violence over them. Again a Nero, smiling like a wo man, has stood amid his rich and gorge ous palaces, and set the world in ftanies and agony by the ferocity ofliis acts, and ’ the dangerous tendency of his principles. < These have been incidents natural to the * old republics and tyrannies. In latter ' days, man has awakened, hut only for a moment at a time, to the knowledge or 1 the dim perception of his rights—he has 1 shaken off the chain that hound his intel lect to the chariot ot custom, and assert ed, even il he tailed in sustaining them, (he privileges of equality. Out of those efforts at liberty, which have made the struggles of Greece, and England, and France, the scenes of bloody tragedies, a demoniac spirit has been enkindled— produced full grown, Richard like, to glut itself with blood, and desecrate the temples of freedom, and bring into dis repute the principles of her creed. This excrescence ol the passions—this growth of savage liberty has become bloated hv its drunken victories gained under the anti-christ of France, the infamous Robe spierre, and (hough it has since slept in a deep debauch since the last night of that terrible revolution, still we see evi dences of its rewakening among our selves. Wc hear the quick breathings ofthe monster ns he turns in his lair, and already it behoves us to prepare for the disorganizing and dangerous encroach ments consequent upon his entire rising. We have heard his deep muttcrings in the cry of Northern fanaticism, which under the guise of philanthropy, is aim ing its daring and impious hand towards (he property of Southerners. For years back it bus been calling religion to its aid, and, with vizor down, the magician ol the passions has kept up his crusade against the peace and welfare of the Un ion. Under other various guises, the spirit 1 of French jacobinism has been seen mar | shalling its followers and ripening them ' fee the bloody harvest. It lias made am ' bilion its auxiliary, and policy has direct ' C( 1 a course of appeal to mobbish passion, 1 which, il not cheeked, will drive the lib erty of speech, the liberty of the press, from the possession ol those who have es teemed those rights the peculiar preroga tives of freemen. We say that it has made ambition its tool. SVe know (hat for the last few years, mobs have increas ed throughout our country, in conse quence, 111 some sections, of the means, of its first agent, religion, and in others by the second and equally' dangerous agent, ambition. Letters have been writ ten to elicit from distinguished men a declaration of political opinions in liar- ■ nuniy \> Uli those which tend to place man i upon the condition of his natural rights, | and' in one case (Richard M. Johnson) I they have succeeded in obtaining a sane- ! lion to their abominable doctrines by the ! endorsement of a name which, in spite ol the most immoral stains, is used as a, spell-word among a nation characteriz ed for its virtue, or should he so, for its high estimate of moral and religious I worth; and in the second case (Mr. Van \ Buren) they have succeeded in obtaining ( from him a negative answer, which he intended should he used by them as -an acquiescence, but which (hey refused to accept as such. These are signs which fill us with alarm and dread. We know not where to turn for sympathy with our feelings. The passions ofthe people are redressed, and they are taught that the cool language of reason !s not a fit me dium of conununition with thorn, and we and all who love liberty and morals are hooted at and disbelieved. Thus is this country becoming every day more and more corrupt —it will go on in the path I nf public and private dissolution, until to commit sin in the public streets will be applauded by the crowd, and to be vir tuous by the domestic hearth will be stig matized as unnatural to the age of free principles and agrarian precepts. We arc governed too much by these multifa rious traps, by which the people are first cajoled and then conquered—conquered by their own arm, made willing victims to the altar of personal ambition, to a waken, 100 late to revive, to a sense of their hopeless slate when their bodies and their sacred constitution will be hut par cels of the great hetacomh raised by for eign doctrines to the genius of jacobin ism.

The time, when she is to choose whom she will serve is near at hand, and we should consider ourselves, as acting in violation of the trust impos ed on us, and unworthy the station vve occupy, did we not remind (he people of the great responsibility which rests upon them. Every State in the South is wak ing up, and rising superior to the influ ence of corrupt rulers, is throwing oft’(lie manacles of slavery} and will Georgia, once the boast of the South and the ter ror of the North, keep hack ? We can not believe it. Is site determined never to he redeemed from the disgrace, which office seekers and designing politicians have caused her to commit? If you are not, then fellow-citizens you have it in your power to make the first Monday in October one of the brightest days in your history. Premising thus far, we come to the question for which this article was intended. Whom will you choose, to represent you in the next Congress?— Will you again send men thePe, to sit si lent during the whole session, and when the direct interest of your State is agi tated, suffer members from other Slates, tolly to your rescue? Will you again elect those, who, when an investigation in the Creek frauds is sought, frauds to which may be attributed the cause of the. war and (lie consequent destruction ot file and property attending it, vote it down, and that too because it is the wish of those at the palace? What have our delegation done? Some have written letters, and some have made speeches and some have never been heard of; hut take them generally and they have done nothing. It is a mortifying reflection to every Georgian, to know that it is con sidered not only the weakest, but the most decided collar delegation in Con gress. But although they have done that (hey ought not, and left undone that they ought. Yet the fact that they are the strong adherents of Mr. Van Buren is sufficient nf itself to condemn them for ever with every Southern man.

At a meeting of the Officers and Pri vates, volunteers on the three months campaign in Florida, residing in Charles ton, & other volunteers who were present in the City, at the Washington Hotel, on Monday Evening, the 23d inst. Cant. George Henry was called to the Chair, and Lieut. W. W. Smith, appointed Se cretary. The object of the meeting having first been stated by the Chairman, the follow ing resolution was unanimously adopt ed : Resolved, That a Committee of five be appointed by (lie Chairman of (his meeting to express our approbation ofthe conduct ot Major AV AL GA TES, during the late Florida Campaign, to signify our regret at his dismissal from the service <;1 his country, and to solicit in respect ful terms a restoration to his rank by the President ofthe United States. Upon the adoption of this resolution the following Committee was appointed by the Chair:—B. B. Strobe!, A. G. Magrath, P. M. Douciu, M. M. Cohen, and Thomas Ryan. The Committee retired and after a short interval returned and submitted the following report: — W HP’, REAS, we have heard with deep regret of the dismissal of Major WIL LIAM GATES from the service of his country—a service in which he had long sustained an honorable and meritorious character; —and as we cannot for a mo ment believe that Andrew Jackson, (him self gallant soldier,'} would intentional ly do an act of injustice, or he guilty of oppression.—We are impelled by a love ol equity, and the hope of reinstating Major Gates, not only in the good opin ion ol his fellow-citizens, but also to that service, upon which wc consider him likely to confer honor, to make this pub lic expression of our opinions. There fore, Resolved, That under the circumstan ces in which he was placed, we cannot conceive but that he discharged his duty to the best ofliis ability. He could form no estimate oflhe number of the loe, and even had he been able to do so, it seems to us to be very questionable, whether an officer placed in charge of the sick and provisions ol an Army, with orders to , “defend his post at all hazards,'’ would have been justified in leaving his en trenchments to attack the enemy, more especially when where was no possible chance of doing any thing which could in the remotest degree aftect the results ofthe campaign; and when defeat would have been ruinous to his own command, I and disastrous to the Army, which dc- d ! pended upon the position he occupied for m ' its supplies. Resolved, That a copy of these Reso- I lotions be signed by the Chairman and a Secretary of this meeting, and forwarded ti to the President of the United States, tl and that he be respectfully solicited (if it li be not incompatible w itli his sense of duty I \to the service,) to restore Major Gates to 0 | his rank, or at all events to grant him the t privilege of a Court Martial, and an op- t portunity of vindicating his character. 1 Resolved, That we are under many qb- ? ligations to Major Gates for his polite I and kind attentions to the'sick and woun- ( ded of the Soutli Carolina Troops. _ 11 Resolved, That we entertain for Major s Gates the highest respect, believing him g to he a gallant soldier, and an honorable 1 gentleman, and that we deplore sincere- < ly and sympathise deeply in tlio issue by : which he has been deprived of his com- s maud. Resolved, That a copy of these reside- I lions lie sent to Major Gates, and Edi tors of Newspapers throughout the Coun try he requested to publish them as an act of justice, and in order that Major i Gates may have the full benefit of the unbiassed expression of our sentiments. 1 GEORGE HENRY, Capt. of'lrish Volunteers,Chairman.

Negro Rial at Jiurlinglon, New Jer sey.—The peaceable city of Burlington has been the scene of a disgraceful riot, similar to the slave case of Boston. The circumstances are these: About seventeen years since a mulatto arrived there, called Severn Martin. As he was skilful and industrious he soon obtained employment and has remained there ever since. By being frugal he 1 had saved from four to live hundred dol lars, with which he purchased a piece of . land, and was doing very well, until a black man from Virginia chanced to come 1 there, recognised him, and informed his ' former master where lie was.—His mas ter, Col. William Christian, went there, ■ found the report to be true, and laid claim to Severn, by the name of “ Sam.” : He had purchased “Sam,” not because 1 he required his services, but because, lie • had married one ol Ids females slaves by whom he had eight children. On the 13th the case was heard before * the Mayor, John Larzalere, Esq. The 1 particulars of the case were most careful ' ly examined into, and after granting 1 “ Sam” every possible chance to procure witnesses, he was adjudged to he a slave and delivered over to his master. He 1 undertook to remove him, hut a crowd of ; five hundred assemb'ed, and the majority 1 declared lie should not he taken. The steam boat State Rights, observing the crowd approaching, started ofl - before “Sam” arrived. The Master then wish ed to put him on board (lie ferry boat, but the ferry master would not receive him, and defending his boat with a log of wood, pushed off into the stream. The steam boat Linnaeus (hen came along, and a strong effort was made to put “ Sam” and the constable on board, but the most determined resistance was made by the mob. One negro attempted to strike Mr. Hancock, the constable, but he drew a pistol, and had not his arm been arrested by a gentleman present (he consequences might have been serious. Another negro flourished a.dirk, hut (he Mayor ordered him off, and lie Went quietly away. The Linnaeus now moved away, amid the huz- ' zas of the mob. “ Sam” was then march- 1 ed to the front of the City Hotel and put in a Dearborn, hut the mob now became furious. The Mayor ascended some *, steps and addressed them. They dis- ' persed,and “ Sam” was carried ofl*. The 1 conduct of the Mayor is spoken of in • the highest terms, and all unite in prais- ‘ ing his coolness and firmness. Prom the Columbus Herald, 23 nt hist.

On the -Itli instant, wc receiv ed orders to march to the Cowagee and Hatchachubhce creeks, for the purpose ol scouring those creeks, and in company with a body of Tennessee Troops, that duly was performed—thelollowingcrecks and swamps were thoroughly hunted; Cowagee, llatchacluibbec, Wilarni and High Log, we also extended our. search as far as to the Chewala, only about 5 miles above Irwiuton. The first dis covery vve made of hostile Indians, was-, on (he first day wc went out, and on the r waters ofthe Hatchachubhce; they con sisted of 13 in number, 3 Warriors, l Woman, and the balance children, which we took prisoners without opposition. ■ The next party wc overtook on the Cow- , agee, on the next day; this gang contain- , oil about 40 Indians, who, when they first discovered us, shewed signs of fight; they were all stripped perfectly milked. 1 painted in aval like style, and several of ' them in the act of shooting, having their ' Rifles raised to their shoulder anti cock- 1 cd. 1 spoke to them in Indian, and told them to stand, to which they agreed.

VYc followed these trails about 9 miles, but coufil not find the Indians. 1 We then returned to Fort Mitchell and £ tiiete slmck Camps. Alter wailing two 1 days we started out alone —no white men with us—during this tour of four days, we ca'me upon, and captured a party of 12 Indians, consisting of men, women, ainl children, whom we brought with us to Fort Mitchell and secured. We look these Indians on the Ali-liagee creek, a little way above the old Chehaw Town. From this party, vve learned that the most of the Warriors had left the Creek Na tion, and gone over to Florida. A por tion of my command is now quartered at Fort Mitchell. Some of them are at Ben Marshall’s and a party of 61 sent out to talk with (lie hostiles, and say to them, they had better come in, for, if vve were obliged to hunt them again, vve would shew them no quarters —this party are still out. 1 have now under my com mand, 117 friendly Indians, only apart of them, however, are mounted.

Suicide. —A melancholy case of sui cide occurred in this City on Friday last ? An individual by the name of Charles Green arrived at Guinn’s Hotel on Thursday, to all appearance, considera bly under the influence of liquor, lie visited a gentleman of his acquaintance in town, and arranged some matters of business with him, his deportment, how ever, being such as to attract attention by its singularity. He was d’seovered the next day, in his room, about noon, in a state of stupor, occasioned by his having swallowed a heavy dose of Laudanum. Physicians were immediately called in, and every eftort was made to relieve bis system by the use of the Stomach-pump, &c; but all in vain. He was too far gone to be benefitted by medical aid. A letter couched in most affectionate lan guage, addressed to his mother in Jones county) was found in the room, in which lie apprizes her of his intention, and ad vises her to remove to Alabama. He as signs no motive for the act, but vve find the opinion pretty prevalent, whether well or ill founded vve know not, that he had, by some means, lost his money, and in a fit of desperation resolved on self destruction.

The National Intelligencer says that “returns from 48 counties give to J.oin* Clauke, Iho Whig candidate for Governor, a majority of 7,- 500 votes over his Van Buren opponent.” We have no certain information as to the election of members to Iho State Legislature. NEW COTTON. The second bale of Cotton, of tiro new crop, was brought to lilts city yesterday morning, from the plantation of Gen. Josecii D. Thom as, in Burke county. The quality of this halo of Cotton is said to be very fine, and it was evident that great care had been taken in picking it out. It was purchased by Messrs. Ci-inKE, McTieb & Co. at SIJ cents per lb. Another bale was received from Burko county, yesterday, (from what plantation we have been unable to learn,) and was purchased by Amo 11 r Siu lev, Esq. at 20 cents per lb. GEORGIA BE NITE NTIA RY.

The following is the latest account we have of the Alabama elections. The Mobile Chroni cle of the UHh instant, speaking of the persons elected to the State Legislature, says:—“So far as wc have hoard, there ar c forty-one certain for Judge White and thirty-eight decided for Van Buren, giving the former a majority of commit ted votes over the tatter of three votes, leaving seven doubtful to bo divided as the representatives may choose to enrol themselves. In tl le Senate the White paily has a decided majority, conce ded on all hands.” THE SURPLUS REVENUE. 1 he Philadelphia United States Gazette of the 20th instant, says “ Something is brewing at Washington. When the public is to have the advantage of the labors, we know not; but we have a rumor that some of the Van Buren men arc in (rouble about certain tlircaU made by the President relative to the surplus reveriuc, viz. that it should never go to the States ; that ouc diffi culty or another should keep it back, and those difficulties should be multiplied just in pro portion to the demands of the Staler. \Ve art? not acquainted with the particulars, but it is that the exposition will bring dismay into the" ranks of the Administration. Our correspondent speaks with certainty of the result. ” NORTH CAROLINA ELECTIONS. The Raleigh Register of the 23J instant, stales that Gen. Edward 13. Dcdlet, the Anti-Van Huron candidate for Governor, is elected by a majority of at least four ihousand votes over his opponent Gov. Scaicrt. The statements publish ed in the Register, as far as the returns have beert received, shew that the Anti-Van Buren party will'ccrtainly have a majority of one, in the State Senate—in the House of Commons, par ties are equally divided, 60 of each.—Mr. Gra ham, the Anti-Van Huron candidate for Congress, is elected by a majority of 1614 voles over his opponent Mr. Nkwland. WHAT ARE WE COMING TO I We hear mobs justified : we sec the most guil ty culprits acquitted : and now, so respectable a paper as the Philadelphia United States Ga zette is pleading in advance for the release of the Buffalo forger! 11 Hev.iahin Ratiiiius. —We-hear it general ly stated that there is a strong probability of the ultimate acquittal of Mr. Ralhbun, at Buffalo, notwithstanding the enormous charges resting a gainst him. It is said there is no doubt that the value of the property which he has assigned, will be quadrupled in the course of a very few years. So convinced, we learn, are his friends and credi tors on this point, that they express themselves ready to take all his paper, for value received, in their apportioned share of his property. That some such disposition will be made of the vast estates, after the payment of his workmen, we are at last induced to believe plausible; and the 1 liberated speculator will ere long have it in his power to raise another El Dorado in the Farther Wcst, and make the wilderness around him blos som os the rose. We desire the sway of Justices but we believe that the strong and sleepless ener gies of such a man as Rathbun, directed to good ends, would confer far greater benefits on thou sands of his race, than could be accomplished in the way of example, by confining him for life within the walls of a prison.” If a man forges a note for ten dollars; he is to . be given up to justice; but, if his “ strung amt sleepless energies" can circulate a million and a half of forgeries, and accident makes him able to pay them, ho is to go at largo, because ho can do more good there, than in prison !! If these sentiments prevail, and this man is discharged; the community, who release him, will be fully exempt from all further legal re straints. They will feel the effects of lawless outrage, and they will deserve it, EMIGRANTS. We copy the following article from the New York Courier & Enquirer of the 18th instant. We arc greatly surprised that a portion of the vast number of emigrants, ( who yearly flock to the United States, do not seek homos at the South, where there is held out to them many induce ments, that will not be found by them at the North. Here, thousands might find profitable employment, mechanics as well as laborers, who by staying in the Northern cities, whore their ser vices are not wanted, arc reduced to beggary, and oftentimes resort to crime, to obtain n subsistence. Wo have hoard it said that fear of a Southern cli mate, keeps a number of emigrants from coming to the South ; but, if rightly informed upon this sub ject, they would find that there is as little to fear on account of health here, as there is at the North. Laborers, particularly, are now wanted at tho South, on our works of internal improvement, and we believe they can obtain near twice tho a mount for a week’s work, that they can at tho North. “ Emigrants and laborers. —lt is almost as sin gular as improper, that most of tho laborers who emigrate from Europe to this country, generally settle themselves in this city, or some other oh the seaboard—particularly those from the Emer ald Isle, The Hibernians are a gregarious race —as fond of society as fighting, and therefore in variably congregate in cities. If they reflected on this practice, they would conclude that it was evidently impolitic on their part; for in such ci ties their employment is less certain, and their means of living less sure or adequate, than if they went into the country parts, where competition is not so great in their line, in consequence of tho want of workmen. In the Southern States, particularly, mechani cal labor is greatly required. The railroad from Charleston to Cincinnati!, will require some 30,- 000 laborers; and at least an equal number will be wanted for tho construction of the New Or leans and Nashville railroad, which was commen i ced some months ago. There are about two , railroads in Georgia in progress or contemplated -—three or four in Virginia, and a similar number in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, TeOACssce, ' and Kentucky. The employment of laborers ota these roads is certain; and their wages higher in proportion than they can receive probably in any of our northern states. If those who emigrate from Europe to this country would adopt the practice of going into the country parts of tho Union, instead of so positively and uniformly remaining in the Allan • tic cities, they might be of great service to the cause of internal improvements, now in vogue and progress; and they assuredly would obviate most of the objections now urged to their natu ralization, and their interfering in our domestio elections—at the same time that they would in calculably promote their own prospects in life.” From the Mobile Chronicle, August 10. CROPS IN MISSISSIPPI. We make the extract below from the letter of one of our most intelligent citizens, who is him sell a planter and has been travelling through some of the best cotton counties in the State. Though the prospect is more promising now than any period of the season, there is still a great fal ling off from the early anticipations of the planter. Extract of a letter, dated Columbus, (Miss.) July 28, 1836. “ Since I left Mobile I have had an opportunity of witnessing the prospect of the glowing cotton crops, and I assure you, from my observation and all the information I have been able to obtain from the most experienced planters, lire crop is a short one ; I should say at least one fourth, I have been pretty much through Monroe, Wilcox, Dal las, Lowndes, Montgomery, Autauga and Green counties, in Alabama, and these counties, you know comprise the largest portion of our cotton growing region, and I feel confident, that let the season now be ever so favorable, they cannot make over two-thirds of a crop. The black lands, that have heretofore yielded such large products, will scarcely made anything, at least not more than half crops. In the cane brakes, 1 learn, in some neighborhoods, there has been almost an entire failure. On one plantation, where there are up wards of one hundred hands worked, I am told they will not exceed 60 to 70 bales and scarcely any corn. The cotton on the sandy lands where they had a stand, is fair ; but all have suf fered much from an insect denominated lice. They have literally devoured large fields, and at such late periods that the owners were compelled to plant them in corn. From these facte fam . , : p.~- firmly convinced that all receipts the next season. will fall short of those of the fifty thousand bales. - J V 7 \
