V y of next October, and will continue from
Jav to day, with the exception of the first Mon*
(javand Tuesday of that month. We shall then
expose to sale in Macon, to the highest bidder, in
conformity with a late act of the General Assem
bly :
All the town lots net heretofore disposed of;
being upwards of one hundred in number; on ‘he
* f? tein side of the river : among them are twelve
adjoining the river, and a few other choice lots for
business. The residue are in more retired situa
tions, and generally afford good building sites in a
pleasant and growing part of the town.
Forty-two gardening lots of 10 and 20 acres
cich; laid out from 1 to 1 1-2 miles distant from
the town in two ranges around the Western Com- !
nion. Also, twenty eight lots on the Eastern side:
that is to sav, 4 of twenty, Bof ten acres, and 1 of
one acre each These last include the place some- ,
times known as Newtown ; and will be sold, sub
ject to certain leases from the United States, to
expire next January.
The residue of the lands in the two reserves,
ire laid out in tracts of 100 acres, and fraction'll
parts of such tracts. Os these, the uplands will
be next offered ; the last numbers first; beginning
with those on the western side.
On Wednesday the 22d of October next, at 11
o'clock A. M. will be offered at the place of the
other sales, the

On hursday .the 23d of October, w r e shall pro

the Reserves, those on the Western side first; and
Continue from day to day until completed.
The particular numbers that will be sold on each
day cannot be specified ; but it is intended to put up
Re several kinds and descriptions m the order here
Mentioned.
The Reserves are generally well watered and
tentfuaseveral good mill seats The area of the
thole cannot be exactly known until the plaiting
is completed; but twenty-one thousand acres is
fee estimated quantity contained in both Reserves
tnd fiie adjoining fractions, exclusive of the town
surveys. Perhaps no body of land of the same
tltent can be fburld that embraces a ireutci va- |
riety in its surface, soil and timber. Situated just !
id that region where the pine of the lower country j
changes to the oak and hickory of the upper : it j
includes both these growths, and soils in most of
feeir varieties; in some portions entire, in others
•t'ergpersed or blended. Tracts of very hilly land,
* that which is quite level, or gently undulating,
•ay be had of almost every quality ; either of oak
and hickory, or pine, or river lands; and several
these kinds occasionally united ; in tracts of
I ,J O acres and fractions of various sizes, adapted
t* most of the purposes for which land is wanted.

MOXDAY MORXIXG, SEPTEMBER 1, 1828.
We are as warmly and decidedly attached to
State Rights as the most open-mouthed clamorer
of the new school can be. We would be as prompt
in defending them, and as jealous in their preser
vation, did we really conceive them in danger of
j being infiinged. But we are not disposed, mere
ly for a name—however high it may be—merely
for a pretence, however specious—to run the risk
of breaking up the foundations of our government,
of overthrowing the most sacred institutions of
i our country, before we know what that nam^
. means, and what those pretences are.
Those politicians who wish to produce an ex
| citement in the public mind assert that the rights
ms the States are in danger ‘From what quarter is
the danger apprehended ? who threatens them ?
; Is it the House of Representatives of the United
States ? The House of Representatives is com
posed of the people of the several States. Will
the people trample on their own rights ? The
members of the House are identified in feelin^
j # ** -
and interests with the States to which they be
long. Their property, their friends, their kin
dred, all exist in the different states; their affec
tions centre there—and can it be supposed that
l they will conspire against their own interests,
their kindred and friends ? And for what would
they do this ? Not for themselves, because they
can exist as a part of the General Government, j
only through the will of the people of the states, I
whom, in that case, - they will have abused. Af
ter they shall have trampled on the rights of the
states, then they return again to the body of the
people, and en them, their friends and posterity,
fall all the evils of their wickedness ! Can it bo
supposed that the members of the House of Re
| presentatives, men who have been selected lor ;
tiicir virtue and intelligence, will pursue a course
like this ? No one in his senses can seriously be- (
; lieve it.
But is it the United States Senate which threa
tens to trample on the rights of t4e states ? The
| Senators are the Represenlives of the sovereignty
of the states; selected for the purpose of uphold
ing their rights in the councils of the nation;
they are, in fact, the agents of the states—gov
erned by the directions of the State Legislatures-
If. therefore, the rights of the states are imfring
ed through them —the infraction will be the work
of the states themselves.
, Is it the President who is about to annihilate
the rights of the states.? The President can do
nothing without the aid and the sanction of the
! two houses of congress. Before lie can execute
a law, congress must first enact it, and provide
: the means of its enforcement. I!is hands arc
: powerless, unless supported by the sovereigty of
the states in the senate, and the voice of the peo
ple in the house. Can it be feared that these two
•separate bodies will both conspire to annihilate
I that power through which only they politically
exist ? Such fears cannot be seriously entertain
*■. ~
The clamor, therefore, which certain politicians
j have raised, about the rights of the states having
j been Iran pled on by the General Government
j is a mere trick. The fact does not exist. Neither
does the danger of it. It is a phantom of the
• imagination, conjured up by political jugglers, fir
’ the purpose of forwarding the schemes of a party.
The politicians of the “State Rights” school
! deny the power of the General Government to
j appropriate money for works of internal improve- j
i meiit, such as constructing roads, canals, im
proving water courses, &c.
’ As the people of this section of the State feel a
strong interest in the improvement of the channel ,
of the Savannah River, which is now in progress j
at the expense of the United States, and as they !
would net wish to see this important work defeat
ed through the interference of the “State Rights” •
men, it is a matter of moment that the sentiments
of the candidates for Congress on this subject j
should be known.
From the doctrines and sentiments which Mr
Gilmer held forth in his speeches during the last j
session, we presume that he is a forward disciple
of Governor Giles and Dr. Cooper, and that he be
longs to the Waltcrborough fraternity. “I (says ;
he in his speech of Mi'rch 7) deny that this Gov
ernment has any such power— [the power to ap
propriate money for works of internal improve
incut] —and believing as I do, &c. it becomes my
duty to resist, Ac.” This language is very expli
cit—scarcely less so than that adopted at Walter
horough ; and ought not to recommend him to !
the support of those who feel an interest in the .
co nmercial prosperity of Savannah.
We should like to have the sentiments of some
other candidates on this head.
We are happy to perceive from the following
extract ofa letter from a friend in Cliailcston, in
the correctness of which we place the utmost de
pendence, that there is at present but iittle ground
for the rumors which are circulating in regard to
the health of that city.
“This city is note healthy ; not more than two
or three cases of Yellow Fever, one death yester
day and one expected to day.”
Tt will appear from the Report cf the Board of
Health, that Savannah continues remarkably
! h .a’tliy. We doubt if there is a town in the Uni
ted States, of the like population, where the citi
zens have enjoyed more uninteruptf u health than
have the citizens of Savannah during the present
summer.
The case of the wreckers against the British
Hi in Charlotte, came up before the Court of Ad
miralty yesterday forenoon. This vessel, it will
be recollected, was from the Island of Jamaica,
bound to Bristol, (Eng.) run on Carislord Reef,
and was got. off by wreckers and brought to tin;
port; end ♦his action brought for salvage: Th<
Court awarded 82500. A motion fora new tria*
j was made by the plaintiff’s attorney, which was
I granted.

KENTUCKY ELECTION.
The National Intelligencer says, “We have al
ready sufficient authority to assure our readers of
the triumph of the friends of the Administration.”
After giving the returns of 69 counties, the Edi
tors add—“ Twelve counties remain to be heard
from, which are not expected materially to vary
the result. So that Mr. Metcalfe has succeeded
by a majority of about three thousand cotes.’’
When it is recollected that a twelve month ago,
there was a large majority in this State in favor of
Jackson, and that now there is a majority of 3,000
in favor of the Administration —it will appear evi
dent that there has been a strong reaction in favor
df the Administration in that section of the coun
try ; and that the current of popular opinion is
still rolling onward. We look, tfierefire, upon
the electoral vote of Kentucky for Mr. Adams as a
settled matter.

Xcw Cotton. —The second load of new Cotton
brought to Augusta this season, (says the Augus- ;
ta Chronicle of the 2?th August) was received at
the warehouse of Mr. John C. Holcombe, on the
22d inst. from the plantation of Turner Clanton,
Esq. in Columbia county. It is very neatly pack
ed, and averages about 350 lbs. to a bale
Another load was received on the succeeding
day, the 23d, at the warehouse of Messrs. Heard j
& Cook, from the plantation of Gen. D. Taylor,
in Burke cnv.ty.
We understand (says the same paper) agreea
bly to the previous notice which appeared in this

Bridge Bills, on Monday last—the amount thirty
dollars—which was bid off at about seventy-live
dollars in Bridge Bills.

Cotton—new crop. —Yesterday afternoon a wag
on load of Cotton, new crop, was received by
Messrs John Robinson, Son Cos. from Nash
Roach, Esq ; s plantation, in Barnwell District.— j
This is several days earlier than any new Cotton *
has been received in this city, for some years.—
The quality is said to be excellent. Another small

Saratoga Springs —Tt appears from the gener
al register, that 985 strangers, arrived at six of
the public houses during the weekending on Sun

not fall short of 1200. There are now on the re
gister 932 more names than were on the register
last year at this date. — Com. Advert.
Daring Bobbery. —The store of Mr Toseph Mo
lyneaux, No. 222 Broadway, was Altered by means
of a false key, yesterday afternoon, between 3 and
4 o’clock, and watches to the amount of about 500
dollars stolen therefrom. It is astonishing to
what a degree of impudence the bgiit-fmgered
gentry have arrived, when, in the face ot open day,
and in the greatest thorough fare of the city, no ,
human habitation is secure from their intrusion. (

with the terms and conditions on which the city
agreed to accept the same ; and non-concurred in
referring the subject to arbitrators. j

Canal Breaches. —A gentleman from Utica in
forms us that the banks of the Canal have given
way in five dilferenLplaccs between Utica and be- |
neca River ; and so’sudden were some of them, :
that one boat near Canastota, was taken several
rods into the woods, and two or three without the
banks. The water was over the Dyke at Utica,
and several bridges carried away.
Albany Daily Adver.
The Canal. — By the arrival from the West, we
1 learn that several breaches have been made in the
Canal, in consequence of a sudden and remaika
! file freshet. The canal bank has given way about
! one mile above Oriskany, and also about two miles
above Rome, and report says, at another place,
farther west, on this level. From Rome to Little
Falls, great damage has been sustained by the
destruction of hay and grain, and carrying away
of mill dams. A Commercial Line boat
ried into an adjoining field, through the breach
near Or iskany, and cannot be got in again at that
! place. The extent of the damage above Rome
we have not learned. A correspondent says the
breach at Oriskany will be repaired in two or three
days. In addition to the damage done to the canal,
the roads are generally much injured. The rain
commenced on Thursday, and continued through
the night.— Albany Argus.

who were supposed to have destroyed the ship To
paz of this port, and several other vessels, It
states “a Bill of Exchange was found in the pos
sesion of the piartes, (then under examination at
Cadiz ) drawn by a house in Boston payable to the
supercargo of the Topaz, and the word “cancelled,”
marked thereon,” which Bill of Exchange is known j
to have been sent out in that vessel. It also states,
that “a piece of paper, or a leaf of a book was seen,
with these words written upon it .“Japan, Canton,
to Boston, Eeb. 6, 182*.” They have confessed
that they murdered the Captain and three men ta
ken from the English ship Morning Star.

We learn from a New’ York paper, that a mer
chant of that city had sent to London to obtain in- .
urance on property slopped in a good vessel from j

to underwrite, or to name a price, in consequence

this speaks well of the prudence of the institu
tion, but not of their accommodation.
