Henry G. Lamar declines being a candidate for Congress. We are sorry for it. Our fellow citizen, John McPherson Berrien, Senator in Congress, arrived here yesterday in the Carolina, from Augusta. From our oeliging friend in Washington, we have received many valuable public documents, of which we shall avail ourselves in the course of cur remarks. The Tariff Act having received the signature of the President of the United, is published in the National Intelligencer of the 21st ult. ; The Legislature of Ilhode-Island has passed an ; ordor of n °tice on a petition for a Rail Way from Boston to Providence, and authorised a survey. j Accident.— A negro man belonging to Mr. Wink ’fter was yesterday killed on board the steam boat Cotton Plant, while on a pleasure excursion to Ty bee. May not these repeated instances of such serious calamnity be received as solemn admoni tions, that the sabbath should be devoted to other pursuits than idle recreation and lighthearted mirth. In tho state of very general depression in which the agricultural interests of this section of coun try languish, the attention of many of our most intelligent citizens is turned to the subject of do mestic manufactures. No country in the world has greater tacilities for rearing up manufactur ing establishments, than Georgia ; her numerous streams scattered through every section of the State ; the abundance with which all the necessa ries of life can be produced, the cheapness of la bor, and the low price of the raw material, all, together, hold out inducements of no ordinary de gree. The progressive decline in the price of cotton, through a scries of years, throughout tho world, prove incontestibly, that the cultivation of that ar ticle has been carried to too great extent, and while the same cause, which has lowered the pi ice, continues to operate, no reasonable man can indulge the hope of any permanent rise.— When there is more of any article made, than can be consumed, every days experience teaches us, that the value of it must sink in the market.— Such is now the fact in regard to cotton ; and al though the diminished price has a tendency to in crease the demand, yet as the supply increases in more than a like ratio, this increase of demand cannot raise the value. Temporary and partial causes may effect a temporary and partial advance; yet while the supply more than meets the demand, any such advance can neither be permanent nor general. The establishment of manufacturing villages ■ hroughout the State, would have a two-fold ef fect ; Ist. it would substraet a portion ol capital aud labor from the cultivation of cotton, which ‘•ranch of industry has already been carried too ‘ar, and 2dly. it would build up markets at home, for many articles of agricultural produce, which cannot be carried to a foreign market, and for which, consequently, there is now no demand.— This is an object of the utmost importance. The planter now says he must make cotton, because no other production of his plantation will com mand money. But in the neighborhood of manu facturing establishments, every article from tho plantation would meet with a ready and prompt sale. And thus could the growing of cotton be regulated by the demand for it. In the southern parts of the State there can be no doubt but that the cultivation of the sugar cane will soon become a very important branch of in dustry. And the increased duty on sugar and mo lasses, will give such an impulse to this business, as will soon enable our planters not only to supply ourselves, bat the northern states, with these ar ticles, and thus compensate themselves for any extra charges on northern woollens. Amiust all the violence of feeling with which the Presidential contest has-been urged, little or nothing has been said in regard to the candidates for the Vice Presidency. Among the Editors of our own State, there is an occasional murmur against Mr. Calhoun, though none that we have heard of, has dared to name an opponent to him. In truth Mr. Calhoun can never be forgiven by the leading politicians in this State, for the decid ed and effectual opposition he gave to Mr. Craw ford in 1822, ’3 and ’4. And although he is at the head of the opposition to the present administra tion, the rallying point of the Jackson party, the hidden power which is felt and not seen, the hand behind the curtain which moves the wires, and sets all the political puppets a-dancing ; yet such is the degree of hostility against him in this State, that our consistent politicians will sacrifice their principles to their enmity; and by the ii opposi tion to him, promote the success of the adminis tration candidate ; whose exaltation, above all others, will tend to put down those doctrines, for which they are so strenuously contending ! The first Session of the twentieth Congress, has now closed, and the members of that body from this State, are about to return to their constitu ents, to receive the reward of their labours. Most, if not all of thorn, it is believed, will be candidates for re-election ; and thus will, their past services, whatever they may have been, be brought into re view before the people. There have already been numerous candidates announced in different sec tions of the State, to oppose their claims, and it may be presumed that their past conduct will be closely scrutinized. To do this, is not only the right, but the duty of the People. The number of Candidates which have been an n >unced, have not been called out by any public expression of disapprobation, of the conduct of the oresent delegation ta Congress, so far as we have Ascertained, but it is rather the result of individ lal competition. The present delegation, even if mthing of a splendid nature has been acconiplish d by them, have still watched over the interests t'the State, with assiduous attention, —perhaps Ath accurate and extensive intelligence. We, r our own part, are so unfortunate as to differ with most of our Representatives, in regard to the THE ARGUS. SAVANNAH, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 6, 1828. powers of the General Government, m encoura ging internal improvement, and the policy to be pursued for the encouragement of Domestic Man ufactures. It does appear to us, that a power, so essentially necessary to tho prosperity of the nation, to its safety, and very existence, as that of constructing roads and canals, does and must, belong to Con gress. It does not appear to us, to interfere with any of those sovereign rights, reserved by the states to themselves; nor does it seem to carry a long with it, any danger to their safety or inde pendence. Other politicians think differently. But those who have observed how often the secret (influence of parties give tone and excitement to public opinion, should be cautious in receiving the clamorous assertions of partizans as indubitable truths. | In regard to our Indian difficulties, we have j been assured, that the strenuous, though concilia ting and dignified, exertions, of our enlightened Representative, Mr. Lumpkin, will shortly bring , them to the most satisfactory conclusion. His ex i tensive and intimate knowledge of Indian affairs, has enabled him to recommend a course, a<t owns acceptable to the government, and satislaclory to ourselves. If there is any one individual among our Representation, who more eminently than a nother, deserves the grateful regards of his fel©w citizens, it is this distinguished gentleman. Uni ting the most gentlemanly manners, w T ith gnat I zeal in tho cause of liia constitunents, he has doie [ much to remove that prejudice and exasperated feeling, which has so long interfered w r ith oir rights and interests. We have long been of opinion, that there an individuals in this count’ 1 1 —we hope their number is small—who are secretly inimical to the Union of tho States, arid who are stedfastly aiming at its dismemberment. For this purpose, advantage is taken of every circumstance to excite and sti mulate sectional prejudice ; to instil into the pub lic mind distrust and hostility against the general government, and insidiously break asunder those bonds which bind together this great political family under one head—a government, which can exist only in the affections of the people. We have more than reason to s itepect, that it is w T ith this object, that many of those unceasing clamors are raised about state rights and southern inter ests—as if Congress, which is composed of the people of the States, could form projects against themselves! Or as if the small northern states, which are as a grain of dust in the balance, could trample on the rights of the South, who are greatly superior to them in the weight of Repre sentation! We have no doubt but there are ma ny who sincerely dread the prevalence of what they call the northern policy. But* if we mistake not, those fears have been excited by the artful insinuations of interested politicians ; who were actuated more by selfishness than terror, and whose arguments sprung, not from of dan ger to the conntry, but a hope of advantage tOj themselves. From such a source has sprung the modern w atch -word of the party —that war-cry which is to aro use the peaceful citizen to tumult and excitement. To show’ that our opinion, in regard to the hos tility of certain politicians tow r ards the Union, and their efforts to stir up the prejudices of the people against it, w e insert several extracts from a poli tical essay lately published in the Columbia Tele scope, and republished in other papers. “ It is now manifest, that the written contract of our union contains no limitation, no safeguard which the vote of a majority may not overleap; that the minority are considered as having no rights; and the general welfare is whatever a bare majority may think fit to vote it to be.”— [Perhaps it would suit this writer better, to place the controling power in the hands of the minority!] “ The proceedings of the present Session of Congress is not the close, but the commencement of a long train of oppressions wliich are openly meditated.” Such sentiments as these, widely disseminated among the people, have the direct tendency of sapping the foundations of our Union, which only rest on the basis of public opinion. And the cer tain object of which, when connected with such language as the following, extracted from the same article, cannot be mistaken ; viz. to sow jea lousy and distrust, rancour, and hostility among different sections of the nation, and finally to snap those cords of union which now bind toge ther the hearts and the hands of our countrymen in harmony, peace, and friendship. “ This is not all. Thus treated by those [the people of the north] who regard you as their pro perty—as their working cattle—who destine all your earnings, all the proceeds of your labour to their pocket—you are forbidden even to complain, lest the patience of your proud and dignified op pressors should be exhausted, they should be com pelled to punish you for your teasing remon strances ! You are treated in these northern papers, with a contempt absolutely unexampled. You are laughed to scorn; you are tauntefci with your weakness ; it is asked what would you do, what would become of you without northern protec tion P Your able and faithful Representatives in Con gress, are abused, reviled; taunted—-designated and treated as Bullies and Hotspurs ; and this, for merely doing their tiuty, and endeavouring, tho’ in vain, to obtain some protection for your rights and mterests!” HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES—The amendments of the Senate to the bill making ap propriations for the Indian Department, being un der consideration, (in Committee of the wliole* Mr. Taylor in the chair.) Mr. Lumpkift said, the bill on the table, as it passed the House, set apart $50,000 to enable the President of the United States to extinguish the Cherokee claims to all the lands which they occu py within the limits of Georgia, and thereby fulfil a long delayed obligation on the part of the Unit ed States. Now, sir, [said Mr. L.] the amend ment of the Senate proposes also to extinguish the Cherokee title to all the lands within the limits of the State of North Carolina—this, too, is to be done out of the sum 6et apart by this House, for the specific enabling this government to fulfil its obligations to the State of Georgia. Mr. L. said, Sir, while I express a confident hope that this Committee w 11 refuse to concur with the Senate in placing North Carolina, (on this occasion) upon an equal footing wiih Geor gia—l wish to be distinctly understood, as enter taining none but the kindest feelings toward# North Carolina. He said, while protested a gainstthe interest £ and wishes of North Carolina being attached to til jii claims and demands oi Georgia, as an unnatural alliance, which would place Iho wishes and interest of one State upon an equal footing with the just demands and rights oj another , he would again repeat that he entertain ed all the friendly feels of a good neighbor to that ! State. He highly respected her Representatives with whom he was associated here, as well as the people they represented. Mr. L. said, as a Representative of the State of Georgia, he felt it to be an imperious duty which devolved on him, upon this and all similar occa sions, to vindicate the rights and interest of the ! State, and not suffer himself to be led astray, by a compromising spirit of condescension to his good neighbors. Mr. L. said, the item of fifty thou sand dollars was incorporated in that bill, at his instance, and as “the phaseology will show, for the purpose of extinguishing the Cherokee claims, to the lands in Georgia, and thereby satisfy her, and fulfil a contract which this Government bound it self to perform, more than a quarter of a centurv ago. The propriety of this appropriation so far as it relates to Georgia, has, at the present ses sion of Congress, underwent the scrutiny and in vestigation of two committees of this House—was then discussed in Committee- of the whole House —and lastly by the House itself ; and has been sactioned by all, with a very near approach to unanimity. It was sent in this form to the other branch of the Legislature. It % now returned to us with this amendment,,’ including North Caro lina, and that too, without the subject of extin guishing Indian titles within that state being even submitted to the consideration of this House, or any one of its committees. Sir, this is joining together that which should be kept asunder As well might Tennessee and Alabama propose to be included with Georgia ; and thereby delay the just demands of Georgia, which have so often been a fruitful subject of irritation and conflict be tween that state and this government. The claims of Georgia upon this Government to ex tinguish the Cherokee title, as soon as it can be done on reasonable and peaceable terms, is im perative ! and that it may be accompliseed upon such terms as I consider reasonable and peaceable, I have strong confidence, if the proper means be resorted to by this Government ; but, I am not prepared to concur in the attempt to extinguish the Cherokee title to any lands in Georgia, is completed by this government. This policy of extinguishing the Cherokee tit le, in the adjoining state's, hae already thrown the largest portion of the Cherokee population on the Territory of Geor gia, and has been the principal cause of the disa bility of this Government to comply with its obli gations to Georgia ; in this is to be found the want of good faith on the part of this Govern ment. Mr. Chairman :—lt is true that lam decidedly in favour of the emigration plan, and believe the Indians can never prosper while they remain in any of the States or Territories of this Union. And I shall never content until I see them planted in permanent and good homes West of the Mis sissippi river, and then I would never “ leave them nor forsake them,” until I made them as comfort able and happy as any township or village in New England. With all due regard to the interest of other States, in which the Cherokees reside, I hope they will not consider me as illiberal, or bearing upon their interests, while I protest against extinguishing the Cherokee title to one acre of land in any of those States, until the de mands of Georgia upon this Government be fully and completely complied with, as contained in the compact of ABO 2. Should I fail of success in my views, in relation to the emigration of the Indians generally, never theless I feel assured that justice may be extended to Georgia, by removing the Indians from her toil, and settling them in the Territory which they occupy in other States, where the right of soil is admitted to be in the United States. Yes Sir, this can be done without violence to the rights, inter est, md prosperity, of the Cherokee Indians ; for I speak advisedly when I state to this Committee, that tie Cherokee Indians claim lands out of the limitsof Georgia suflicient in extent and quality to sustain them in comfort for a centur v to come. Mr. Chairman, I consider this amendment of the Senate injurious to the interests of Georgia. I consder it an untimely appendange, calculated, in sone degree, to retard the fulfilment of the obligaion of this government to the state of Geor gia. i, therefore, with great confidence, look to this Committee, and this House, and trust they will rtfuse to concur with the Senate in their pro posedamendment. WASHINGTON, May 23. In the Senate yesterday, the resolution submitted on Wednesday by Mr. Kane, directing tlre Secretary of the Navy to re port the number and names of Midship men, with the States from which they have respectively been appointed since the pre- ; sent session of Congress, was considered and agreed to. The bill authorizing a subscription to the stock of the Chesa peake and Ohio Canal Company, was read the third time and passed. The bill from the House of Representatives,altering the duties on imported Wii.es, and the bill mak ing an appropriation lor the N vy Hospital Fund, were twice read and referred. The Senate went into the consideration of Exe cutive business, and after being engaged therein for nearly two hours, the doors wera opened when the following bills from the House, making appropriations for the first quarter of 1829, were read twice and referred, viz: the bill making appropriati ons for the support of the Navy of the Uni ted States ; the hill making appropriations for the suppression of the Slave Trade; the bill making an appropriation for the Military Service of the United States; the bill appropriations for the payment of the Revolutionary and other pensioners of the United Slates; and the bill making appropriations for certain fortifications.— The following bills were also lead twice, and referred: the bill making appropria tions to carry into effect certain Indian Treaties ; the bill making an appropriation for the purchase of Books, and for other purposes: the hill to authorize the Post 1 Master General to erect an additional Building, and to employ five additional Clerks ; the bill authorizing the Legislative Council of the Territory of Michigan, to take charge of the School Lands in said Territoty : the bill allowing compensation to the members of the Legislative Council of the Territory of Arkansas ; the bill to authorize the licensing of vessels to be em ployed in the Mackerel Fishery; the bill the President of the United States to hold a treaty with the Chippewa, Ottowa, Pot towafamie, Winnebagoe, Foxes and Sacs Nations of Indians; and the resolution from the House, in relation to the manner oi ex ecuting the Printing, ordered by both Houses of Congress. I The Senate then adjourned to meet to morrow morning at 10 o’clock WASHINGTON, May 24.—1n the Senate,yes terday, the bill to enlarge the powers of the several Corporations of the District of Columbia and for other purposes, was passed. The Bill for abolish ing the office of Major General was considered, and amended by a provision for the abolition of Bre vet Rank in the army. The bill as amended, was re jected by a vote of 20 to 20, the Vice President not being present. At 4 o’clock, the Senate took a re cess till six, the President protempore took the Chair, and a quorum not appearing, the Senate ad journed. In the House of Representatives, Mr M’Duifie gave notice that he should to day ask the House to take up the report of the Select Committee on the subject of the recent assault. Mr. Gor.nan, as ono of the minority of that Committee, offered a proposition, which he intended to move as an a mendment to the resolutions appended to the re port of the Select Committee. This substitute re solves that the Sergeant at Arms take Russell Jar vis into custody, and bring him to the bar of the House, to receive a reprimand, and that then he be discharged; and further, that the Speaker with hold from him the privilege of admission to tiie floor, usually allowed <‘. i ‘£drt*lrs. Some objections were made to the receiving and printing the prop osition, but it was finally carried in the affirma tive. The House concurred in the amendment made by the Senate in the Bill to enlarge the pow ers of the {Several Corporations of the District. Various other Senate bills were acted on, and the House adjourned about balf past five o’clock, after rejecting several propositions to take a recess. The bill to enlarge the powers of the several Corporations in the District of Columbia passed the Senate yesterday,with an amendment striking out the third section. That section provides for the taxing of articles which may pass down the Ca nal, and is connsidered of minor importance. The House concured in the amendment; so that the bill has now finally passed. The Senate yesterday rejected the bill from the House of Representatives to abolish the oificee pf Major General. We are glad to find, in this in stance, that a sounder discretion, and more liberal views, exist in the Senate, than we found in the House, when that question was submitted to it.— W T e are glad to perceive that the crude, narrow*, and unstatesrnanlike opinions of so large a portion of the House, on the subject, have been thus cor rected by the salutary interference of the other branch ; and that tbe symmetry and efficiency of our military system are not to be among the first offerings on the* shrine of retrenchments.— Jour.

The Odessa article adds, “ that above one hun dred transports of different nations have been placed at the disposal of the Commissariat depart ment. The government has signed contracts with several merchants and captains of snips for the material and the wine which may be required for an army on its march in the interior of Tur key.” An article from Berlin, March 9, observes “ the private letters from Petersburgh say that the war with Turkey is considered close at hand, and that the people had received the news with the greatest joy.
