under the Morgan law, making it felony

by the recorder of Troy, under the act

MACON. DECEMBER 27.
THE COTTON MARKET.
In Macon. Cotton is selling from 8 io
8 37 1-2.
In Savannah, 9 to 10£.
In Charleston, 9£ to 10£.
It is gratifying to record, that, within
the last week, a sale has been made in
this market, of ttpwatds qf one hundred
bules of Cotton, which commanded 9
cents. It was the crop of, and sold by,
Johjv W. Gordon, Esq. of Jones coun
ty ; and we are authorised by the facts,
in saying, that we have rarely, if ever
seen, a specimen of the like quantity
aud quality of good cotton. T’His sale
demonstrates clearly, that if the planter
would use (Sire, and make such exer
tions as are in his pow er, we should have
the repeated pleasure of seeing sales of
superior Cotton. We hope that Mr. Gor
don and others, will continue to bestow
that attention, which will ensure to
them a valuable consideration for their
labour.
Tiif. Tariff —Great anticipations
have been formed of the struggle on
this question at the present session
of Congress—hut contrary to expec
tation we believe it to be already put
to rest. A letter from our corres
pondent in Washington, dated on
the 11 th inst. says—
“ You will see by the vote of yes
terday in the House of Representa
tives on Mr. Condict’s resolution,
and still more definitively o t the res
olution offered by Mr. Weems of
Maryland, that no disposition exists
in the majority of that body to go
into the tariff question at tltii session;
You will see that besides ail Penn
sylvania, N. Hampshire, Connecti
cut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New-
Jersey and Ohio, New-York with
four exceptions, Maine with two,
Maryland with two and Kentucky
with one went against the resolu
tion. If all had been present and
had voted, I estimate the result would
have licet), was, about t 8 ; nays;
say, 14->. Some of the majority
I ant certain w6re influenced hv oth
er motives than those of accordance
with the tariff policy. Fat after all
deductions, the vote is decisive to
show a determination not to go into
the question. Ami what else could
be expected at a period so shortly
after the date of the act; and by the
same Congress that passed it I And
after all, if the subject had jrot fully
up, who can say that nnv thing for
the relief of Southern and of the
planting interests in general, would
or could have been done. Might we
not have had reason to apprehend
that s’.yh parts of the act only as
hears most heavily ev. seme of the
northern men, would have beer, mo
dified to suit them better, leaving it
to oppress the Southern people with
accumulated \vt iglit, *ttd thus in
creaso the evil while it would di
minish our power to remedy it.”

duties upon the value of (lie goods at the
place of iniputtatidn, tiistrad of the cost

The question of consideration on litis
resolution being called for and put —
The House decided tiot to consider
the same.
Mr. II terns offered the follow ing :
Resolved, That the Committee of w avs
and means he instructed toenqniie into
tbe expediency of repealing such laws
as tnav have been enacted contrary to
the restraining provisions of the Consti
tution and the limited powers granted
therein, by the States, td the General
Government, and to report a Tariff bill,
compatible wiib the power “to regulate
commerce with foreign nations, among
the several States, and with the Indian
tribes,” and fully adequate to meet all
the dctffftnds of revenue.
The resolution having been read,
Mr. W. moved to lay it on the table
for consideration ; but, before the ques

Some resolutions from the Legisla
ture of Ohio relative to the abolition of
slavery, addressed to the Governor of
this State, were laid before the commit
tee ori the Judiciary, and we extrabt a
part of tlteir report on that subject. We
are gratified that they have met with a
rebuke, as we hope all may who cannot
confine their hypocritical efforts to be
humane to their own borders and their
own Concerns. The people of Georgia
will nevCr listen to the dictation or shal
low arguments of those who know no
thing about it. If we are to he consid
ered as barbarians for the curse entailed
on .is by onr foreign ancestors, and of
w hich we cannot rid ourselves if we
would, so let it be—we will at least at
tend to our own concerns, and hope oth
er Statps will do the same.
“ In the relation to the right rtf Con*
gress to interfere either directly or indi
rectly with the subject of Slavery as re
cognized by the laws of this Stale, yrtur
committee deem it improper and unne
cessary to enter into a discussion.
This State never can and never will
so far conipromit her interests on a sub
ject of sttelt deep and vital concern to
Iter self-preservatien, as to suffer this
question to be brought into discussion.
Non interference on this subject was the
sine qua non on the part of the slave
holding States, in forming the Union,
atid entering into Federal Compact.—
As the Southern States would then, so
they must now or hereafter consider any
attempt to interfere with this delicate
subject, an aggression as having a ten
dency to produce revolt and insurrec
tion of the most hideous character.
These States must view with jealousy
and distrust, all associations having for
tlteir object th'e abolition rtf Slavery:—
The principles propagated by the erithu
siasric devotees of this project, rtte cal
culated to have the most pernicious ef
fects—exciting false hopes of liberty ;
producing discontent and dissatisfaction
in the mind of the otherwise happy and
contented slave, and a restlessness for
emancipation when the actual state ot
tilings forbids the possibility of it ut jtret
sent.
The CoioniCatloh Society is fcohsitl
ored by your Committee as one of dan
gerous character in this respect. Its
schemes of colonization afe vain and
visionary. Its professed objects cover
can be accomplished—they are wholly
impracticable. This institution there
fore, should not. in the opinion of jour
Committee, receive the support, coun
trnnee, or patronag- of Congress, and
not iirttig a matter of national interest,
the Government has no right to take it
under its protection,-or make i ppropri
ttrons for its support.’*

A striking coincidence. —The effect of
the singular coincidence of the decease
of the two Patriaihltsof the Revolution,
caused a sensa'tion which vibrated
throughout our Country, and excited the
surprise of the world. We have to no
tice another event of the same kind, of
rtteri who “ in life wc.t united, and in
death were not divided.” Col. Aaron
Benjamin; and Major Joseph Wheaton,
both died on Sunday the 23d ult. In
the War of the Revolution, they served
in tbe same line, nnd shared the dan
; gers of the same battles; During tbe
last war they were both agaih found in
the service of their country, and dis
charged with youthful zeal tlteir vari
ous aud resjionsiliie duties. On the
close of tiie war, 1815, they exchanged
their swords for the pen, nnd received
appointments in the Treasury Depart
ment. They were located in the same
room, and constantly associatftd in all
the amenities rtf public and private life.
About two years since, Major W. came
to tire office laboring under strong men
tal derangement; his friend Col. Ben
jamin, took him home, and on bis re
turn ia'id, “ he believed the Major and
himelf were about to follow their com
panion< to the tomb.” About mid-day
he remarked, “ that he would go home,
and die among his children.” He left
Washington the next morning for Hart
ford. Connecticut, ttnd Maj. Wheaton
never resumed liis pla'ce in the Office :
thus these soldiers and friends closed
their official duties on the same day;
and both on the 2311 ultimo, sunk to that
quiet rest which will only be broken by
the clangour of the last trumpet.
So sleep the brave, who sink to rest, ,

forming some of the duties assign
ed me by the Secretary of the Na
vy, during the last Summer, I had
occasion to address a circular letter
to u number of masters and owners,
of the whale fishery, and fur seal
and Other trades in the Pacific, with
a View of collecting such information
ac they had treasured p, in the nu
merous voyages they had made in
the high Southern latitudes, that
might be useful to the Navy Depart
ment, in directing the operations of
the exploring expedition, now pre
paring for the enterprise. Answers
were readily returned to my letters;

offered for examination, and a dis

I had with the intelligent gentlemen
engaged in the several branches of
tire business of the Pacific. This
information has been combined m a
report to the Department. In the
ebtirse of these researches, many
anecdotes strongly illustrative of the
enterprise, hardihood, and success,
of mariners, have been collected by
me, and which wore either too mi
nute, or did not come within the ob
jects of my report, which, however,
I esteem of great value, and shall
preserve for future use. One oft this
kind I have recently received front
Captain E. Fanning, a gentleman
distinpushed for liis adventurous
and successful voyages in the South
ern Hemisphere, and I cannot for
bear to communicate it to the pub
lic, as it ought to be known, to show
our enterprise, mid Russian justice

“While on the business of discovery
[says the Captain] 1 cannot but di
gress, to mention a little circumstance,
to the credit of American enterprise,
viz : The two discovery ships sent out
by thb late Emperor Ale xander of Rus
sia, on their Voyage around the world,
being between the South Shetland and
Falmer's Land, but much the nearest to
the islands, were becalmed in a thick
fog; when the fog cleafcd away; they
were Surprised to find one of the Ston
ingtotl South Sba Cotnpany’s barques,
a little vessel of about fifty tons, be
tween the two discovery-ships, which
immediately run up the United States’
(lag, when the frigatte and sloop of war
set theirs, and the Russian Commodore
despatched a boat and officer, with an
invitation to Captain Painter, of the
American vessel, to route oil board,
which lie readily accepted.
“ When he arrived on the Commo
dore’s deck, tie was asked what islands
tiios*e were in sight, and if lie had any
knowledge of them T “ Yes, Sir,” re
plied Capt. l’alm'er, “those arc the
1 Shetland islands, I am well acquainted
w ith them, and a pilot here. 1 belong,
sir, to a licet Os five -Sail, cut of Stbn
ington, tinder the command of Captain
B. Pendleton, whose slijp is notv at an- I
chor in a good harbor in that island ; j
| and rs you risli for water or refresh
ments. I will pilot you in, arm my Coni- j
tnodorls will he much pleased to render !
j you any cssistance, to obtain lor you
\ such refreshments as the country af
| fin ds.” “ I kindly thank you, sir,” said
i tiie Russian Commodore, “ but previ
ous to being enveloped iri the fog, we
| had a sight of those islands, and cOn
| eluded we had made anew discovery;
and behold, when the fog lift.-, to our
litter sot prise, a beautiful little Ameri
can vessel, to all appearances in as fine
order ns if she had but yesterday left
her port in the United States, is discov
ered along side of my ships, the master
of which readily offers to pilot tnv ves
| sels into port, where his Commodore vt ill
‘ tender me everv aid for tc fibril trie fits!
We must surrender the palm of enter
j prise to you Americans,” said thb Rus
sian Commodore. “ Sir, you flatter
me,” replied the American Captain;
“ but there is an iutnrense extent of land
to the South, and vhett the fog is en
tirely cleared away, you Will have from
your mast head, a fine sigltt of its moun
tains.” “ Indeed,” observes the Com
modore; “you Americans ar° a people
that will fie before us, and litre is now
in your information, and what is now be
fore my eyes, an example and pattbrn
for the oldest nalion in Europe. Where
I expected td make new difcrtoveries I
liud the American A.tg, a fleet, and a
pilot!”
After treating Captain Pnlmbr in
the most friendly manner, the Rus
sian Commodore was so much struck
by the circumstance that he named
tiie coast Palmer’s, Land, and it
j bears his name, tit this time; on the
recent Russian and English Charts;

A comparison of the votes which Mr.
i Adams has received: with nf the
other federal candidates in fotnter con
tests, exhibits nearly Hie same relative
strength, and it is no less remarkable
that their support in almost every in
stance is from thh same States. Th**
aristocracy of New F.ngland have in all
trying periods of political ertnfliet, been
able to catry this section of file Union in
opposition to the republican Candidates.
\Ve are aware tli.it many w ell, tnebning
republicans hi this itful other New Eng
land States; have been made to believe
that Mr. Adams was a republican; and
it has been the constant aim of their eld
adversaries, to place thi4 oefbtfe them in
tiie held of a personal contest.
The following is ft table of the Votes
givert for President and Vice President,
at the Contested election* since General
Washington’s retirement, and will be of
interest at this time. Connecticut has
in every instance from 1796 giten her
vote for the federal Candidate, except in
1820, when there was nA opposition to
the re-election of Mr. Monroe.
“ 1796—President: Adams 71, Jef
ferson 68—Vice President; T. Pinck
ney 59, A, By;rr SO.
1800—President; Jefferson 73, Ad
ams 6'i—VicePtCsidfnt; A. Burr 73, T.
Pinckney 63. .
1808—President; Madison 122, C.
C. Pinckney 78—Vice President G.
Clinton 118; R. King 47.
1812—President; Madison 128, Pc
Witt Clinton 81—Vice President; E.
Gerry 159. Ingersoll 57.
1816—President; Monroe 183, R.
King 36—Vice President; Tompkins
118, opposition divided.
1824—President; A. Jackson 99,
J. Q. Adams 81, Win. Craw ftird 47, 11.
Clay St.”
After reading these farts, can any one 1
doubt the correctness of the assertion
that Jackson is the republican, and Ad
ams the aristocrat candidate? Repub
licans, you who have hitherto been in
duced to support Adams, ponder on
these things, and if convinced of your;
error, as we flunk you must b**, have I
the magnanimity to acknowledge it. and
once more unite yourselves to your a
bused party by supporting rhedemocrat
! ic adpiHstraticr. of President Jacksty). :
