AIJOUSTA.: WEDNBBDA V, NOVEMBER 30, JIB3C- Be just, and fear not THEATRE—'VENTRILOQUISM. We last evening attended the Theatre, to wit ness the exhibition of the Vcntriloquial powers of Mr. Kks worthy, and Master Platt, and not withstanding the inclemency of the weather, we ere much pleased to see the respectable and or derly audience, and more so with the exhibitions of the evening. Every thing went off well, and the audience were delighted witlr the numerous imitations, Ac. given. Little Bobby performed his part well —so well indeed that we almost con curred in the opinion of a countryman, who sat next to us, who, when Bobby was half through his lessons, topped ns on the shoulder, and asked us very seriously, if that was not a live critter. We have witnessed the performance of several Ventriloquists, butas yet have seen none that sur pass Mr. Kenworthy.— Constitutionalist of yes terday. NORTH CAROLINA. The Legislature of this State convened at Raleigh on the 21st instant. In the House of Commons W. H. Haywood, Esq. was elected Speaker by a majority of seven votes over VV. A. Graham (whig.) The vote was for Hat wood 60, Guaiiam 53. C. Manly and L. B, Freeman, were elected Clerks. In the Senate, Hugh Waddel, of Orange, was elected Speaker, by a majority of two votes over W. D. Mosely, Esq. the former Speaker. Mr. Moselt was a Van Suites man. Thomas G. Stone and J. B. Dodge, were elected Clerks. Lewis Williams, of Surry, is spoken of as the Whig candidate for Senator, in place of Mas oum, who it is said will not boa candidate. BEAUTIFUL COTTON. We had the pleasure of seeing, yesterday, in the hands of Bens. Baihd, Esq., Waiehouse and Commission Merchant of this city, a sample of the most beautiful upland Cotton we ever met with. It was from a lot branded “ Millwood,” received from the Plantation of Col. James Ed. Calhoun, of Abbeville District, S. C. Alike in texture as in cleanliness, it is probably unsur passed, if equalled, by any ever presented in this market, except from the same source; and we understand that Col. Calhoun’s Cotton al ways commands at least a cent and a half per pound, in this market, more than any other. His great pride is to make good cotton—a pride wor thy of a true Southern man—and a true South ern man he is. With a highly cultivated mind, of great literary and scicntitic attainments, and a modest, sensitive, highminded and chivalric spirit, unsurpassed even by that of the Bayard, after traversing almost the entire globe, and pen etrating almost every possible storehouse of knowledge, he has quietly sat himself down in a retired quarter of his own beloved and gallant State, to devote himself to the improvement of her agricultural interests, and particularly of that great and incstimabla staple article, upon which her prosperity »o greatly depends. SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER- The October No. of this highly and justly po pular periodical, so beautiful in its typography, aud excellent in its reading matter, is received ; and, though late in eoming, the great value and interest of its contents, fully repay us for the dis appointment of the delay. We regret that we have not now time to refer to them particularly. For the table of them, see our advertising columns. The cause of the delay is stated to bo sickness in •he office, and the difficulty of obtaining work men.—Wc decidedly approve of the intention to commence the next volume with the new year, & particularly, that of publishing the first, No. (and wc presume each succeeding one,) on the first of the month. With Mr. W hite's remarks “To the friends of the Messenger,” we heartily concur, as we do, also, in approving the unquestionably “hon orable means” he mentions, of advancing the inter ests of his work; and wo mentien this the mow cordially, as we expressed our decided dhappro' • val of the unjust reflections on it, made sometime ago, and arc gratified to find that he has had the ; manly independence to judge for himself, and not softer himself to be driven from his just and hon . orablc ground. That such “moans” may be - abused, is not to be denied; but so may all o , thers, however good, and if whatever character ; _ and if the object had been to censure the abuse and not the use of them we should not have com -5 plained, provided any abuse could be shown, and '* shall always be as ready as any one to censure ( such abuse even though wo find it practised by - our respected friend, the publisher of the Messen > ger.—lt was unnecessary, however, for him to exculpate Mr. Poe from any participation in this 1 matter. No honorable mind, that has marked , his fearless, independent, and admirable conduct ' of the Messenger, and the highminded and chi valric sentiments manifest in his writings, could f possibly suspect it; and the reflections of any • other are unworthy of consideration, since they j cannot fail, in due time, to be properly understood . and appreciated. i THE GOVERNOR’S HOUSE. In some late remarks on the Governor’s Mes ' sage, wo alluded briefly to that part respecting the I inadequacy of the appropriation for the erection i of a Governor's residence, and urged an increase , of it, intending to refer to the subject again. Pross '' cd for time, wo now subjoin our remarks of last year, which, after speaking of the Governor’s splendcd social party, given to the members of t the Legislature, and others, continue as follow : 1 “ Indeed nothing was wanting to the enter tainment, but such a building and suite of rooms as would properly accommodate the guests of n ! Governor of Georgia, and in which the people of Georgia and their Chief Magistrate might be ' mutually proud to meet and salute each other. \Ve are no friend to official magnificence and luxury ; or the opposite extreme; but there is a happy medium, in this, as in other matters, com bining substantial dignity, without shew, and re publican plainness, aud simplicity, without un seemly littleness, disproportion, and make-shift . niggardliness, which might well ho rendered more conspicuous, in the public residence of the Gover nor of Georgia. As such, the present small, old fasllioned, decayed wooden building, is most un seemly, mean, and contemptible, and, either in side or out, may wgll excite the blush of shame, on the cheek of every Georgian. Mark, too, the moral influence of such things, on the minds of those, who after seeing them, look upon the mag nificent public buildings at Washington, and the princely palace of the President. Do they not necessarily excite a contemptuous sense of mean ness, weakness, and insignificance, against the Stales, and dependence on the General Govern ment, at war with the facts, the true interest of the former, and the proper manly dignity, pride, and self-dependence, of a free people I Created, as the General Government was, solely for the benefit of the States, and not of itself, has it not already extracted from them almost everything of public wealth, talents, services, pride, ambition, and glory, that could nuke any man proud of his own State, and his feelings glow with patriot ism and affection, at the mention of her name. What public man now limits his ambition to his own Stale, and devotes his talents and industry to her service I WJio courts her offices and hon ors, except as mere stepping-stones to those of the Federal Government 7 Even her Chief Mag istracy—the highest office in her gift, and which should be second to none, except the Presidency —is now of less dignity and interest than scores of the subordinate offices of her General Agency ; and who cares to inhabit such a house as that of the Governor of Georgia, if he can obtain any subordinate station amid the splendor and magni ficence of the Federal City 1 Our pride and pa triotism were deeply humbled as we thought of these things in the insignificant mansion of the Chief Magistrate of our beloved State ; and wo felt, with many others, that it was due to the State, and the office, that the incumbent of the latter should be furnished with a residence in which he could dispense, to strangers and citi zens, the hospitalities appropriate to his station, in a manner worthy that station, and the State. We are gratified to learn, that a general con sciousness of this, on the part ol all present, has excited some reflection on the subject, and will probably load to an appropriation to carry it into effect. It is generally conceded among the mem bers, that fifteen thousand dollars should he ap propriated, to erect and furnish a new Govern ment house; but this is, in our opinion, too small a sum, by onc-fouith, at least, if not one-half, since private residences often cost twice that sum. ' It is better, however, than nothing, and we hope will bo appropriated, rather than nothing, but should prefer a larger and more substantial buil ding than we think ten thousand dollars will ob tain—it being considered that the other five thou sand should be devoted to the furnishing of it. { We should be gratified to see the Legislature j take into consideration the propriety of increas . ing tho salary, also—throe thousand dollars being - ; altogether inadequate to tho station, particularly , ! when wc consider the expensive, appropriate hos ; ' pitalities of it, and tho talents and character so 1 j desirable and important to it. It is but half the - amount of the salary of tho Cabinet officers of e the Federal Government. No man can dispense . I the appropriate hospitalities of the station, with . out a sacrifice of one or two thousand dollars out i of his own pocket, over and above the salary, to - say nothing of tho necessary loss of his time and o attention from his own private affairs, which to a c man of large property, is an extensive, and often J very injurious one. And what Georgian, with a if proper sense of self-respect and patriotism, would e desire the Governor of his State, not only to sa s orifice his time and talents wholly to the State, i- but to evade the hospitalities incident to tho sta r- tion, or pay the cost of them out of his own pock e ct I We (rust the people will think of those j- things, and do justice to their own character, the character of their State, and the character and ser vices of their Chief Magistrate. Milledgetillk, Friday, Dec. 11.” PROM THE SAVANNAH GEORGIAN. “ William C. Dawson. —This gentleman has received the undivided support of the minority in this county, and in tho Eastern District. Will the people remember that he was the active and untiring opponent of Savannah, and her interests in the last Legislature, when a Senator from Greene, as regards our Rail Road Banking Char ter!” So much for monopolies, and their anti-repuhli , can, tyrannical,and proscriptive spirit. Here is the entire minority of a ceunty held up for censure before the public for supporting a candidate of their own principles, merely because that candi date refused to sacrifice his principles, (which we believe are opposed to all Banks,) to that mammoth outrage upon liberty, principle, and the rights of the people, the Savannah Rail Road Bank 1 And this, too, in the very face of tho triumphant majority which ho has received from the entire people 1 As to his being an “ active and untiring opponent of Savannah and her in terests,” wo deny it, and defy it to bo shown. As well might it be said that we arc opposed to Sa vannah and her interests on account of our oppo sition to tho mammoth Rail Road Bank in ques tion, after having openly opposed the Charleston Rail Road, and urged our citizens not to take stock in it, on tho ground that it would divert tho commerce of our Slate from Savannah, our own seaport. But what care monopolists and stock-jobbers for this, or for any other evidence of honesty and principle in those who oppose their selfish purposes. Their object is to c-y down all who oppose them, by any means in their power ; and the article of tho Georgian is a very signifi cant hint to “the minority of the county,” that if they do not abandon their ptinciples, and “ bow down and worship tho golden calf which Neb uchadnezzar tho king hath set up,” they shall be denounced as “ opponents of Savannah and her interests,” and proscribed and persecuted by tho majority and its monopolies. Thus, everything —honor, honesty, political principle, and consis tency —must bo made to bend to a mammoth mo nied monopoly, and every one who docs not wor ship it, in every possible shape it may assume, and oppose its opponents, now and forever, wherever they may appear, must bo denounced and proscribed as “ opponents of Savannah and her interests.” Col. Dawson may have declared bis opposition to all Banks, and particularly all such as this new and tenfold more odious Hail Road Bank, and not only disclaimed all opposi tion to “Savannah and her interests,” but as sorted his willingness to advocate and sustain them by any reasonable and just legislative mea sures ; and many, if not all, of this “ minority of tho county,” doubtless differed from him in rela tion to tho Bank, and advocated it, ns did proba bly all in Savannah, of cither party; but, no matter, he opposed lire Hank, and they voted for him as a candidate for Congress, in opposition to the paily that established and controls the Bank. That’s enough— down with them The party supported the Bank, and the Bank must support the party; and though they aided in the estab lishment of the Bank, they now dare to favor its political opponents, and oppose its political friends: Down with them ! down with them ! So much for tho monopolists in Savannah; and while writing tho above we received a letter from a respected friend and truly patriotic politi cian and member of the Legislature, warning us of their increased and increasing power in that body. Under date of the 27th, after speaking of our unusual absence from Milledgcvillc, at this time, (which has been caused by ill health,) he says: “You doubtless will recollect tho com munity of feeling between you and myself on the subject of Monopolies. Well, sir ; rest as sured that no session has presented such a com bination of tremendous power, in favor of them, as tho present one; and some, who with stout hearts and eloquent longues hut led defiance at them last session,arc now, not only silenced, but absolutely gone over.”—All this wc expected, and all this and whatever more, we arc ready to oppose, regardless of all consequences, so long as God may be pleased to spare us life, and give us health and strength enough to use & pen; but alas! what is our single voice to do, alone in this Slate, and almost tho whole country, so far as the press is concerned 1 Tho great mass of talent, wealth, and influence, is on their side, and the people are indifferent or in favor of them, even while they tic their hands and rob them of tboir rights and liberties. From the Stale Rights Sentinel of yesterday. The state of Indiana has gone for Harrison by a heavy majority, say near 10,000. Kentucky has also gone for Harrison, but tho majority, is not yet ascertained. Louisiana seems to be doubtful, so close has been the contest. Our latest information is con tained in a slip from tho Mobile Mercantile Advertiser, of tho 251 h inst. which contains offi cial returns from all tho Parishes but one, and tho unofficial return from that one, by which it seems that White’s majority in the state is 32 votes. From Mississippi wc have no definite returns: the contest scorns to be very close and very doubtful. Alabama so far as heard from has given White a handsome majority, hut there is no doubt that the large northern counties will turn tho scale in favor of Van Burcn by a considerable majority. Van Boren's majority in North Carolina is something less than 3000. The apathy of tho Whigs in that state has lost the Presidential Election. The ship Bristol, from Liverpool for N. York, was wrecked near the latter city, on tho 21st instant, and 07 lives lost. The Bristol was load ed with 250 tons of Rail Road Iron, and GO tons of coal. We are sorry to hear from Charlottesville, (says the Frcdericksburgh .Irena) that seventy of the ■ Students at the University of Virginia, have licon ! expelled for some alleged breach ol the rulrs of i the Institution.

Cleared f in the same time 8397 bales. On Shipboard not cleared, 5209 bales.

Os our reported sales of Uplands, 3531 bales were sold to Tues day evening, at last week’s rales. By the Ex i press Mail on Wednesday morning, we were put in possession of Liverpool dates to the 16th ult., , advising a reduction in prices in that market of the lower qualities of Uplands, and the general impression that a decline from the pressure of i the monney market, on all descriptions of Cottons . was expected. Since these advices our sales Lave been 2000 bales, at a reduction from } a } cents. Cottons of very choice qualities yester day brought 18), but wo were piesent when a lot of 150 bales as prime as we have seen during tho season, was offered at 18 cents, but whether the offer was accepted or not, we are not as yet . informed. Our readers must form their own o pinions as to the future result of prices. Ap pearances are far from being favorable, as the ■ market closes very heavily. We continue our quotations, as sales have been made during tho week within our limit.— Mercury, ; New Orleans Market, Nov. 19. Cotton —Arrived since the 1 llh inst. 24,886 P bales, cleared in tho same time, 11,396 bales: making an addition to stock of 15,510 bales, and leaving on hand, inclusive of all on shipboard not cleared on the 17th instant, a stock of 81.864 , bales. The transactions of the week have been very extensive, amounting altogether to upwards of 18,000 bales, but at declining prices, a reduc i tion having taken place since our last, on most . qualities, of about }of a cent. Other causes have, perhaps, had some influence in putting tho mar ket down ; but vve believe that it may bo mainly attributed to tho difficulty of procuring vessels, and to an unusual rise in Freight, added to which, is the inability of giving them immediate des patch, owing to want of seamen, who can hardly be had at any price ; many vessels being com pelled to remain in port for weeks, on that acount, I after being otherwise in a complete state of readi ness for sen. Those circuit,-nances, it will ap pear evident, rendered it necessary for buyers to solicit a reduction, in order to compensate thorn 1 for tho increased charges in shipment, and hold ers being sensible that it needed some induce ment to tempt Ibom to continue operations, yield ed by degrees to accept the present currency.— Levy’s Trice Current. Mouile Market, Nov. 19. Cotton —Tho week ending with yesterday eve ning has been marked by a want.of animation on the part of purchasers. The receipts have been unusually large, and the quality continues to im prove. Received this week 3658 bales, and cx ! ported to Liverpool 1197 bales, to New York 472, to Philadelphia 129,—-together 1798 bales; leav ing on hand and on shipboard not cleared, a stock of 7663 bales. The transactions which are re ported, have been principally filled by freight en gagements,—prices being by the purchasers deemed too high largo operators for the foreign market are kept out. We think but little differ ence exists between the prices of this and the pre vious week, although a decline of }c on the mid dling qualities, is spoken of. Wc prefer, howev er, rather than indulge in speculations, to give actual transactions; particularly in tho present unsettled slate of our market. Operations of the week amount to about 1500 bales, as follows : 65 bales at 19 cents, 239 at 18}, 98 at 18}, 141 at 18}, 179 at 18, 5 at 17), and 65 at prices not transpired. 1 Liveiitoot.

The state of tho money matket has been no doubt the occasion of this chock upon our usually active operations, as, , from the stale of the stocks, and tho expected supply, there is no ground for a decline in pri , ccs.
