QjC” The readers of the Journal will no
doubt recollect, that in the spring of 1821
we published our opinion on the probable
prospects of the cotton trade. The expres
sion of that opinion, because it was of ra
ther a sombre cast, gave olfence to some of
our very worthy friends. One or two per
sons discontinued their papeis, and wrote us
rather impertinent letters, because we hap
pened to predict the coming of evil time s.
We wished them joy in their discovery of
our errors.
Otners have told us that our speculations j
known to desert a hum in being even in the
lowest slate of degradation and misery, so
the latter, with equal pertinacity, sticks by n
man in adversity.

if the year ; the hostile array upon our bor- acted from th „ eonvictions they prodneed-
ders of veteran legions, fiesh from fields of
victory in Europe, united to deepen the soli
citude and darken the prospect nf the mo
ment. At such a crisis was the Governor
called upon to take the field in force, and
check the adverse tide of war. The
Treasury was acknowledged to he unable to
furnish the necessary funds. The Governor
was requested to call out an army that
should “ crush the enemy,” and was obliged
to raise the necessary funds, and to execute
the service. He found the means,nf doing
both, and from that time to this he has been
struggling with embarrassments produced by
his engagements and rvsponsibilites for the
public.
Tlie Committee is satisfied, that lie made
advances to the government: that he
borrowed about #1,382,827, from various
corporations, to aid the National Treasury
and promote the public service. That those
loans were procured by him, at the earnest
intreaties of the President, and the acting
Secretary of War. That to aid him in pro
curing loans immediately, the government
promised to send him treausury notes in
thirty or forty days which he was directed to
pledge at $t i(),000 for $100,000 lhat between
the 1st of December, 1814, and the 17th of
January, 1815, he found means to borrow
#1,098.500, (part of the foregoing sum) from
s< veral corporations, including a loan of
S 100,000 from the corporation of the i ity of
New. Votk ; for all which it appears that tie
had to make I itnself personally responsible
by contrails; relying, on bis part, upon the
promise of government to advance the treas
ury notes, and take up Ins obligations. That
ft part only of the notes (say $.150,000) were
rent in proper time to relieve him. That
the city corporation pressed him for the
promised deposite, and for repayment, and
that he was held up as ; a lefaiilter. That
the failure ol government put it out of his
power to sustain Ins errdit in the banks for
sucli large sums. That ms previous attention
to public affairs hail compelled hint to neg
lei t bis own ; and tn.it the heavy pressure of
those loans produced a derangement in
his private concerns, which biought upon
him, as lie co tends, an actual and .specific
loss of sixty thousand ilollais.
The pci nliiu and c mplicated duties which
were devolved upon the governor, as civil
and military duel ol the stale and district
referred to, and the special circumstances
under which he was called upon to raise and
ik’slmise funds for the federal government,
entiiled him to expect an exact and prompt
performance of its promises, and a speedy
reimbursement to relieve him liom lus em
ban assments.
It is adinined, that public moneys sent to
him, or raised by him, have been faithfully
applied to ib p public service or kept in de
posite io backs, or w ith pitbli* agents, ready
to be used at am mom. rtl. That he served
bis country faithfully and eflectualy, is
known to all. 'That be ran imminent risks
to serve it, is beyond a doubt. That the
'Vre.wsnrv filled to fulfil its engagement with
him,is no less < ertam, and it is manifest, that
no citizen could sustain himself without loss
against the heavy pressure of such large
aunis. That he foresaw toe perils which af
terwards assailed him, is proven by ihe hon
orable Rufus King, who conversed with him
in the autumn ol 81*, about “the condi
tion of the public Tieasury, the unprotected
state of the city of New Y ork, and the ina
bility of the General Government to protect
it : and urged, from the peculiar situation in
which Providence had placed him, that il
was Ins solemn duty to make great exertions
and to assume great rcspnnsmilities. That
tiie state in a great measure looked to him
for iis protection, and that he must call out
•he militia, and find resources to pay them.
That the Governor had slated, in reply, that
i e was already committed very deeply, and
that if he should go fait her in pecuniary
responsibilities, he must do it at the risk uj
ruin; on which Mr. King solemnly urged
him to gn on, and do his duly, and if ruin was
the consequence, to consent to endure it, and
look to the honor and gratitude of his coun
try." lie did so—die peiformed all that was
required, and more than was promised or
expected from him. This is known alike to
the Committee and the country, and is re-
'urded in the annals of the day. Your Corn*

Messrs. Editors—The number of suits, li
bers to your paper (the Journal) in tbi- coun
ty is about thirty—we receive the mail once
in two weeks, and of course should receive
somewhat like sixty Journals, and some few
Recorders, hy every mail ; but such is the
shameful mismanagement at some of the in
termediate post offices, (for I cannot think
the blame attaches to you, or the post master
at Milledgeville,) that during the Iasi three
months we have comparatively received nei
ther letters nor papers, sonic mails not a sol
itary one, including ihe last. Such gross
neglect, or something worse, is very injuri
ous to individual ami the public interest, and
calls aloud lor public reprehension. Our
sheriffs nor clerks cannot proceed with their
official business, nut knowing whether their
notices have been published. If you think
a change for the better can be wrought upon
the delinquents, you will oblige all of your
friends in this quarter by calling this subject,
through the ufedium of your paper, to the
attention of post masttis generally in the
state. Respectfully yours.

From the Harrisburg Commonwealth. I
.Vashville, Peb. 23, 1823. I
Gentlemen—Your letter of the 3d inst.
with the Harrisburg paperentitled the “Com- t
mutiwealtb, ” containing the address you j
have alluded to, lias been this day received. I
The complimentary manner in which my i
fellow citizens of Pennsylvania have been ;
pleased to notice my military services, and
their voluntary expression of respectand con
fidence in me, has excited, on my part, a.
proper sense of giatitude. As a committee
appointed to dialt an address lo the people
of the United Slates on tlie subject of the
next presidential election ; you asked to he
informed “ Whether 1 can or do approve ol
my name being used at this little as a ran-
didale lot tlie piesidency of the United
States.”
I should have consulted my own feelings
by continuing to avoid spe .king on tlie sub
ject, Inti tlie respectable source trout whence
the enquiry emanates, prohibits any but a
cat,did nottteofyour communication.
My t.nd eviatii'g rule ot conduct through
Itte, Into which I have and ever shall deem
as congenial with the true republican prntci-
We publish the following information with
the more regret, because the gentleman who
communicates it has possessed the best up
portunities of becoming well acquainted with
the facts which lie conceives it propel In an
nounce to the public : [fb.
Messrs. Gales .Heaton ;
Gentlemen: Ueing acquainted with tiie
circumstances, I feel it my duty to apprize,
not only the citizens of tins place, but till
others, of the fact, that the contractor lot tiie
Fifth (Mass(lately drawn) of tlie Lotteries
termed “ Grand National,” has fail d, and
refused lo pay tlie capital prize, and many
smaller prizes, in the said lottery, alter (lie
same have become due. He lias now Ie 11
tiie city, without giving to those who have
managed the lottery tlie least hope that the
prizes uill ever be paid.
The tickets which lie has in the Glh Class
of these Lotteries have been obtained midi r |'
false promise, and litis notice is given to pre- t 1 ' 1,J "
vent imposition from the sale of them or of
prize tickets in the preceding Class. My
name I leave with you, lor the use of those
who may have occasion for it.
It may also be proper Imilv.r tn si .to, for
public information, that after mature eoiisid-
eiatitin, the most enlightened legal council
has given tlie opinion, that the Corporation
of this City is in no way responsible for tiie
payment of the pi tzes drawn in the laic Class
of this Lottery.

VALUE OF COTTON
The following striking exhibition nf tbe
extent to which tlie use of’litis inestimable
material is now carried, is extracted from tlie
list Liverpool paper which lias reached tins
cotmtiy. Thirty years ago, the export of
cotton from tlie United Slates was so incon
siderable, as to cause the ttegor taint s of the
[finish treatv lo consent to a cl iuse on tins
subject which was hostile to tnis beautiful ;
production. The clause was struck out bv |
tlie Senate. Last year Cotton constituted I
nearly one hail of all tlie exports of our tin- j
mestic articles : Hich. Emj.
Cotton.— This beautiful fabric, sms a
late elegant writer, seems destined to become ;
tlie clothing of nearly the whole world.
