.. LATER ?ROM EUROPE.
Tb. Br. Steam packet Aouita,Captain Karri»on,
arrived at Boston on Wednesday last from Liver,
pool, whance aha tailed on tho 10th ulu By this
arrival wo have received " Wilmer A Smith’* Eu
ropean Timet” to the latest dates, from which pa.
per we copy the Foreign inttliigenca which will be
found in our preceding columnt.
Agricultural prospects are unutually nattering,
and the general aspect of affairs is highly prosper
ous,
New cotton mills of immense size are springing
up ilt Lancashire, and more are likely to bo built,
A Ublo which hat just been published in the Lor.,
don papers, shows that since 1830 tire consumption
of Colton has increased in lire South of Europo
800 percent.; in the North of Europe 03 percent;
in England 40 per cent.; in tho United Slates 43
per cent.; and in Franco 33 per cent:
The'Meynooth Bill, on the 10th, was read the
third time end passed in the House of Peers by a
vote of 181 to 80, and though it had not received
the Royal assent at the latest dates, it lias doubt,
leu ere this become a law.
The project of establishing a line of steamers
between France nnd New York has been revived,
and is likely to become a law.
We have been favored with the following com
mercial letters, received in this city by the above
arrival.
“Liverpool, June 19.—Since the date of tho in
closed circular the demand has been regular and
good, the sales have averaged 0000 duily, and pri
ces have a lender cy to advance, but without any
decided change being made in quotations. To-day
10.000 bales were sold ; during the week 12,000
hrve been taken nn speculation. Trade is so good
and (he price of Yarn so profitable to spinners, that
they see their interest by holding Cotton largely,
and'they buy freely. From India our advices are
good; the promise of our harvest, nnd consequent,
ly the prospects in the home trade nre singularly
good.”
“Llvebpool, June 18.—Since the departure of
the last steamer there is no decided change in llio
value of Cotton, but the market has nssumed more
firmness and steadiness the last ten days, and par
ticularly since the arrival of the Boston steamer of
the 1st inst. with accuunts of tire falling off of the
receipts into I lie American ports, and the ruther
late end unpromising prospect fur the growing crop
in the Atlantic Cotton region. This, together with
the continued aclivo trade in Yurns have induced
consumers to buy moro freely, and caused some
partial speculative operations, notwithstanding the
recent heavy import which has swelled the stock in
this port to ubout 1,034,000 bnles, of which 815,.
000 is American, being an increase in the totnl
stock of 115,000, and in that of American 148,000
over Inst season at the same period. The sales for
the week ended 0th inst. were 28.000 bales, of
which 1500 were taken on speculation nnd 2000
for export; and for the weekended 13th inst. they
amounted to 43,870 bales, of which speculators
took 8000 and exporters 3000 bales. The Am
erican descriptions in the last week consisted of
10,770 Upland at 3 1.4 n 5 14 nnd 6 ; 14,030 Or-
leans at 3 a 6 and 7 1-4; 10,000 Alabama and Mo
bile at 3 a 5; and 440 Sea Island at 10 a 15d per
lb. In the subsequent four business days to this
evening the transactions are estimated ut 30.000
bales, about 10,000 of it on speculation. We quote
Upland 3 1 4 u 6, fair 4 1 8: Orleans 3 1-4 a 0 14;
fair 4 3 4; Mobile 3 1 4 a 5 18, fair 4 3 8; and
Alabama and Tennessee 3 a 4 l-4d per lb.
“Liverpool, June 13.—Colton.—Tito market
opened with a fair demand, which has increased
during the week, the trade being induced by the
low quotations now cui rent to increase their stocks;
prices, however, close without change, tho recent
imports being so freely offered. Speculators have
taken 8000 American and 100 Egyptians, and ex
porters 25,000 American, 100 I’ernanibuco nnd
500 Sural.
“Liverpool, June 10.—There lias been n gnod
demand for short staple this week, whiclt is freely
met by the importers; 37,000 bales sold without nny
material hnrdeningof prices—fair Uplandsd u4sd„
and all others in proportion; the finer kinds are
rather scarce, and bring relatively a good prieft
Trade in Manchester is good. Yarifb are brisk,
with some advance in price, whilst goods arc less
animated. The probabilities of our crops nre fa
vorable, und the futre prospect for business very
good. Money easy."
“Ha vre, June 16.—The ndviccs by the Ins’ Bos.
ton steamer nre considered ns very favorable for
Cotton, nnd the demand liuving been larger than
was expected, holders have succeeded in obtaining
a further ndvnnco from 1 a f. 1 50, ut which obotu
3000 bales have changed hands this morning, es
tablishing quotn'ions fur Uplands at f.55 for bus;

din.; 72$ for petit cotirnnt; ar.d f.74] lor boo cour-
unt. Sales of tho week ending 14'h inst. about
12.000 bnles, against 3.500 bales. Stock 87,000
bnles, of n hiclt 83.000 bales United Slntes."
“Havhe, June 15.—Colton.—Our market which
had during the last week relapsed into a dull state,
hns throughout the present one been characterised
by a good degree of activity, the unfavorable stute
of the Weather having for u long lupse of time,
acted ns a considcrnLle drawback on the consump.
lion of light clonlhing. the operations for the into-
riorhad therefore been on a most restricted scale;
but the fine weather having suddenly set in, with an
appearance of its continuation, lias induced dealers
from tho trade to come boldly forward, and nlso
been productive of a slight speculative feeling.
Tho demand, since our Iasi report, hns therefuro
greatly revived, and been uninterruptedly good, tire
buying bus been spirited, tho sales averaging daily
2.000 bulcs, with u decided improvement in prices,
which have advanced fully f. 1 on ordinary descrip
tions, f. 2 on middling und superior grades. Upon
the whole, business has assumed u much more
healthy aspect within these few days, alt' ntigli the
accounts from Liverpool have not been of a nnture
to impart any very nctive character to the transac
tions. Wo have been put in possession of advices
from the United States of 21st., via England, which
contained nothing of a new complexion; those of
the 24th nnd 31st idem by the packet-ship Louis
Philippe and the Britannia stcumcr. arc shortly-
looked for, nnd may bo expected to have some in.
fluence on tiie situation of our market, inasmuch ns
there seems to be reason for-anticipating that they
will announce shipments to our port."
Savannah, June 25, 1845.
Gentlemen—Your note of tho loth inst. advising
me of my nomination by tho Democratic Stale
Convention as a candidate lor tho office of
Governor, at the election in Octobler next, lias just
been received. Considerations of “ high political
impoitnnce" do not leave mo at liberty to refuse
the call which has been nriado by the Republicans
of Georgia. 1 therefore accept the nomination with
a profound sensaof the honor it confers, nnd the
responsibility it tilings with it. Tho Republican
Standard committed temporarily to my charge,
shall be unfurled with a confident hope tliul the peo
ple of Georgia will rally to its support. If, Gen.
tlcmcn, Victory perch not on llint standui d, it shall
nevertheless, be recommitted to those who have
entrusted it to mu, unstained by dishonor. The
Issue of the coming conflict will either plucu our
Stale by the side of Republican Virginia, or lock
her in the unnatural embrace of Federal Massa
chusetts. Onward then, my frionds ! As for my
self, contending for the uscenduncy of Democratic
principles, victory will bo hailed as truly glorious,
and defeat will have its consolations.
Accept my thanks for the very kind manner in
which you havo conveyed to mo the wishes ol your
constituents.
Your friend and fellow.citizen,
m. h. McAllister.
James H. Stark, Valentino Walker, Joseph Junes,
Charles Murphy, James M. Kelly,Committee.
Above we publish the acceptance of Mr. M. Hall
McAllister. We do not thii k it distinguished for
Wit
ability, und line very litllo thi appearance of mod-
•aiy. “Onward then, my friends,” coming as it
does from the nominee, is decidedly in bad taste
and exhibits an unxieiv to be elected that is su
premoly indelicate. And you really think AL-
Mac that tho Buukor Hill Stale is Federal T Did
you think so when you accepted the “ resigned of
fice” from Mr. Adams for tho purpose of preventing
Georgia from occupying her Indian lands 1 M.
Hall McAllister to talk about Federalism is ri
diculoos, at we will show before tltis contest is end.
cd. For in 1834 no onendvocntril doctrines more
strongly tinctured with Federalism than the pres
ent nominee of the Republicans, By the by. why
is it in this letter of acceptance, tho nnme of Do-
mocrncy is dropped, nnd that of Republicans us.
sumed ? We suppose it is currying out the divis.
ion that lately took placo in Muscogee county,
where the “decout portion" of the Democratic par.
ty called themselves Republicans nod stigmatized
the others as Democrats.—Southern Whig.
MR. ADAMS’ DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
The People of the Up country.—We are truly
happy to leurn that Mr. McAllister und his friends
are aroused to a proper sense of the importance of
defending his conduct, in accepting the office of
District Attorney under John Quincy Adams.—
At first they were disposed to ireut tiie matter ru
liter lightly—then they suddenly and steadfastly
fixed their eyes on a certain Milledgeville print,
and worshipped with their f.ces intently fixed on
the Mecca of their political hopes—notv we are
happy to know that the entire correspondence has
been laid before tiie public, und the subject lias
been taken up will) becoming gravity.
Our readers will have observed one thing partic
ularly. This correspondence is accompanied by
a very labored nnd very respectable editorial, in
which are embodied extensive extracts from Mr.
Habersham’s letter. It is a singular fact, that ev
ery extract thus exhibited is token from that purl of
Mr. Habersham’s letter which had previously been
published in detotchcd form, and not a syllabic of
them from that portion of it which'had been previ
ously suppressed ! ! This tve presume to be no in
genious method of diverting attention from those
parts of Mr. Habersham's letter which reflect up
on Mr. McAllister’s conduct, and which, though
published, it i9 thus intended to render nugatory.
We pass this over, however, for the present, and
defer our strictures upon Mr. McAllister’s res.
ponse, which will be found in out paper to day.
It lias been tauntingly asked what will lie “the
next charge trumped up against the integrity of
tiie Democratic candidate’’/ Though we are in
clined to think that before tho canvass is over the
charges against him will be so numerous, an
eauve it teemed to give your sanction'io |h* print),
pies upon which 1 had acted ; per hope pi Sue I may
kaoe done yon injustice, for the principle is now
scouted, by all Ihe presses of the-party with which
you are acting,” $-c. •' *
What a respectful but severe commentary i* this,
coming as it does front such a man as Rlehard W.
Habersham, upon the professions of Mr. McAllis
ter in 1827, when about to receive bis commission
as District Attorney, and of Mr. McAllister, uf-
lerwards as the exponent of tiie true principles of
the old Union party 1 Wo could give other senten
ces of similar character from the suppressed por
tions of this letter, but deem it useless, as our rca.
dors enn examine it ut their leisere. They will
not fail to noticu that part of it in which Mr. Mc
Allister is reminded that his friendshnve denounced
the Slate Rights party, of which Mr Haberslmin
was a prominent member, ns seetitionists, disunion-
ists. traitors, tj-c., and that in bis oration on the 4th
of July previously, there was a squinting at
the same kind of compliment, &cc. We trust that
the charges in regard to consolidationism made
agnist the Democratic nominee, nnd we believe not
denied, may servo especially toincrenso the zeal
of die few old Nulliliers who have gone over to his
parly for political consolation and comfort. Some
of these gentlemen were particularly loud in their
plaudits of Mr. Habersham’s conduct ut the time.
We have looked in vain for similar compliments to
Mr. McAllister nn account of Ids disinterested con- ]
duel in accepting the office from John Quincv !
Adams. That our readers may understand the 1
feelings of the people of Georgia nt the time, we
give n fetv ot these toasts drank on the 4lh of July, I
1827, after the oflico hud been accepted by the
present Democratic nominee for Governor.— j
Tlieso were all regular loads, except where the
name of the person giving them is mentioned :

An arbor and stand were erected in the bcauti.

provided for the audience, which numbered about
five hundred. After prayer by the Rev. Joshua
Knowles, an oration was delivered by Mr. Charles
Lane, of Oglethorpe University. It «-ns replete
with pious and patriotic sentiinerfs, clothed in Ian-
guago clmsle und eloquent. At its cluse a pro.

reaolutiona:
It is with unfeigned regret we learn of the death
of the patriot JackaoA—and while'mingling our
tears with those of our countrymen, we cherish
within our bosoms a deep sense of gratitude for bis
public sorvice*. 'Truly may it be said, “A great
man has fallen in Israel”—a renowned chieftain
lost to the people—n patriot gathered to the tomb

his ashes I Green grow the grass upon his grave,
and frostily bloom forever the memory ol his vir

Resolved, 'Flint we feel deeply the loss to the
country of Gen. Andrew Jackson, and ns Aineri.

ofhis patriotism—and though it was the fate of
some of us to differ w ith him, in political feelings,
yet none of us ever doubted his honesty of purpose.
Resolved, That we wear the usual badge of
mourning for the space of thirty days.
The preamble und resolutions were unanimous

Nearly allied to Mr. McAllister’s acceptance
of office under John Quincv Adams, was his la
bored defuncc of the Northern States against tiie
charge of Abolitionism in 1834. lie was then a
Union man and a candidate for tiie Senate in Chat
ham. It was necessary to conciliate I lie Northern
voters. This Mr. McAllister hud a perfect right
to do, just as he lias now a right to make u passing
fling at Federal .Massachusetts—but lie went further
and made some very grave churges against the cit.
izens of the tcheat growing regions of his own
Slate, We havo some curiosity to know iiow lie
and Ids friends will explain such language ns the
following to the Democratic voters of Cherokee.
]l is Ihe first, and indeed Ihe only instance in which
they have been gravely charged by one of their fel
low citizens as being .more obnoxious on the sub
ject of Abolit.onism and Slavery’ than tiie ff.o-
ple of the Noi.tii ! Yet such is the only fair in
terpretation which can he given to the following
extract from Mr. McAllister’s Oration, deiivcrtd
in Savannah on tiie 4th of July, 1834:
“No, my countrymen, it is from a different quarter
we must expect inierfercncc with our rights. Look not
at tlie distant horizon for tho coming tempest, when the
thunder-cloud may be ready to burst directly over your
heads! Did Congress legislate upon the Interest to
which allusion is now made, in the Slate ot New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware? Did not
tho blow come from the respective Legislatures of those
States? Refer to the struggles between the Mountain
and Atlantic districts of Virginia in relation lo this
species of property, which for some years past has ag
itated that Stale, and which were mere fully developed
ill their recent Convention. Look to the surface of your
own State, and you will perceive that the representatives
in our domestic Legislature from that portion of the Slate
where our peculiar properly is essential to its prosperity,
will in a few years bear no proportion to the number of
those who will represent a wheat growing community,
where a peculiar species of labor may and probably will be
entirely dispensed with. What then will be
come OF OUR RIGHTS, LEFT TO THE “SUPREME SOVER
EIG.NTY” of A MAJORITY OF THF. PEOPLE OF THE STATE ?
Be not deluded, my countrymen. The best protection
wo who live along the coast can have for our rights, is
lo be found in an equal support of the General and
Slate Governments, in order that each limy serve as a
check upon the other."
Here then is a grave charge It is nindo in the
words of Mr. McAllister himself, as published with
the approval of the Editors, in tho Georgian, ol
August 5th, 1834. How wiillio explain this lan
guage lo the outraged and slandered citizens of
Cherokee whose- votes he is now seeking ? If there
ure any documents on this point let litem be produ
ced. We deem it u work of supeierogution to de
fend tiie people of the middle and upper portions
of Georgia against this charge of being unsound
on the subject of slavery. We linve know t) them
long and well, and u more patriotic people, a people
more (leveled to tiie institutions and interisls of
their State docs not exist. Much ns they have
been underrated by a certain class of pretenders,
they nre entirely competent to defend themselves
nguintt nil such charges ns this, preferred by the
Democratic nominee for Ihe oflico of Governor.—
We leave tho subject only for tiie present.
Sa v. Rep.
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY OF 1827
In accordance with a determination proclaimed
in our last, we commence to-day tho publication oi
llie correspondence which look placo between
Messrs. McAllister & llubershnm, in 1834. We
prefer to give the letter of Mr. llubershnm entire,
und not in disconnected paragraphs, as it has ap
peared in the Democratic press. It is rather
strange that Mr. McAllister's friends now manifest
tiie same reluctance tow ards giving this letter en
tire which Mr. McAllister himself (lid when re.
quested lo publish it by Mr. Habersham, Mr. 11.
in his letter to Mr. McAllister says :
“As it (meaning his letter) may fall into other
lianrli less honorable than your own, and I am un
willing that it should be garbled, you will I am sure,
tin me the justice to publish it entire, and on Ihe same
sheet and that immediately."
This was on tiie 30ih of August, 1834. On the
8th of September, Mr. McAllister, it seems, tvns
still loo busily engaged in performing Ids duties us
n member of the Board of Health, occasioned by
fears existing in relation to Cholera, ipc., to com.

from ono so greatly und so deservedly respecled
as Mr. Habershum, llio letter in question would
never appeur in uny oilier shnpo than entire with
tho sanction of Mr. McAllister or his friends.—
Such is not however tiie cuse. That part of it
only which suits their purposes bus been ullowcd to
see lire light. At ttic lime tho appointment tvus
accepted, Mr. [lubershuin seems to have thought
Mr. McAllister siuccro in Iris professions. Sub.
sequent experience seems not to have folly con-
firmed his first impressions. Would it not have
burnt well in giving Ids triumphant vindication

T II E L A T E CONVE N T | 0 N.
We gave, in our last, the actings of the Whig Cos. J
vention, but were so pressed for time, (as ourpape,
went lo press immediately upon the adjournment ofth*
Body,) that we gave them almost without comment—
We will, therefore, take this occasion to present a few
remarks, in relation to it, to our readers at a distance
who, wo feel satisfied, will receive them with much
satisfaction.
The delegates began to assemble in our citv on the
Saturday preceding the appointed day—and continual
1 coming in until the hour at which tiie B'idy convened
on Monday morning. In ail, there wore present, 182
members, ami these represented 02 counties. It was a
large—indeed, a very large assemblage, considering
the circumstances under which it was gotten
up. It is well known, that in many counties, 1
Convention was not deemed expedient or desirable,and
several of these (ailed to send delegates. All knew
that tho present incumbent of the Executive Chair
would be nominated for re-election, and, acquiescing in
whatever the Convention would do, the counties unrep
resented were more numerous than usual. But fur ail
this, it was a iarge Convention—one composed of re.
pectable and patriotic citizens, anxious to maintain
tho interests pf the people, and secure the future proa,
perity of Georgia.
We conversed with a large number of the Delegates
111 person, and hut one impression was left upon our
mind, in regard to the result of the contest. It wa^ I
this—that the people, the bone and sinew of our Stale
are tired of clap-trapnmi political liumbuggmj. and ari
determined, in the approaching contest, lo reward the |
faithfulness of the present incumbent, by re-electing
him. They see, ur enough of thorn, of both parlies, see I
that the State has been upon llio verge of ruin, 1
tliat he has rescued, and restored her to her former el. I
evated condition. They see that a few years more of
misrule, and their burthens W’ould be intolerable; and I
they are now determined to sustain him who has steer-
ed them safe into a port of safety. In a word, we have I
been impressed, by these conversations with our |
friends from various sections of the Stale, that Ihe peo
ple of Georgia are determined to hold fast to ourprosent I
Chief Magistuate, and that, despite of parly drill, ot I
uulitical leaders, they will re-elect bun ill October next.
Never before were our friends from all parts of the
Stato so confident! Buoyed up, not only by their own I
•strength, but by the countenance of many, who, in some
respects, differ from them, they exhibited a confidence
of success which wo have never before witnessed. Tho
oeuple, they said, “are with us ; they are all Crawford
men, except the leaders, nnd those who go for party in
spite of every thing, and even tlieso havo nothing tonj
igainst iiis Administration, and arc obliged to admit
that he has made a most excellent and faithful Gorer- j
nor; and how can they beat us under such circum
stances!” Such was the general expression ol coal- |
ience, and we give it to our readers to cheer them«
•card in their course.
No discussion took place in tho Convention. The
Democrats, w hen they were here, made many and long
speeches, in which some of them indulged largely ia 1
ribaldry and abuse. The Whigs liavo not imitated
their example. They did their business promptly,qui
etly ; indulged in no abuse of their adversaries, but j
pursued the '‘even tenor of their way,," believing lint
many of the wrong w’ould soon become right, and that
tho right would yet prevail.
Over the deliberations of the Convention, Gen. Dos.

To see one, who had faced his country’s enemy in ma

liibiting embarrassment in being called upon to preside
over a body of civilians, strange as it may appear to |
some, can be accounted forbyal! w ho know how ^appre
ciate modest merit, and the refined emotions of the liumM I
