THURSDAY MORXING, OCT. 2, 1828.
Through the politeness of Capt. Shcarwood of
the Brig American, we received New-York papers
of the 23d nit. Still later dates, however, have
been furnished us by Capt. Bennet of the ship
* Emperor, which sailed from New-York on the
26th.
As the season for the election of Members to
Congress approaches, the interest felt in the suc
cess of the several candidates is observed to in
crease. Tho attempt of a few unauthorised indi
viduals, at Madison Springs, to impose a Ticket
upon the people, has we are happy to learn, been
met with very general opposition and there is a
well founded hope that every man will be suppor
ted in proportion to his own merits and the claims
of the section of the state to which he may belong.
Trom the eastern section, there are two candi
dates; both eminent for their talents, and both
itilly entitled to tho public confidence. But as
they are considered as belonging to different polit
ical parties, they will be supported by different
individuals. Many will however, from motives
of personal frendship and respect, vote for both.
Nor can we see any impropriety in their doing so.
They are both equally devoted to their country,
and attached to the Union f the States. And it
cannot discredit the people of tho eastern section
of the state, if they vote for both James M. Wayne
and T. U. P. Charlton , as they all have a right to
do if they choose.
Mr. braitsford being the only candidate from
the south, ana having strong claims on the
ground of personal merit, we have no hesitation in
recommending him to the support of our readers.
Mr. Cuthbert's acquirements his eminent talents
and high character, would recommend him to our
support even were it not far the claims of the
western section of the state.
From tho northern and middle section, there
are numerous candidates, of w hose claims we
shall take another opportunity of speaking.
Mr. Bartlett. —lam one of those who have
ever been in favor of giving the elective fran
chise the most extensive latitude- It has al
ways appoared to me that The People, who are
mainly interested in the operation of the laws,
should always hold a controlling power in the
appointment of the officers of government. All
Jews and provisions, therefore, which tend to res
trict the privilege of voting to certain classes, to
the exclusion of others, arc anti-republican and
tend to the most odious aristocracy.
Os this character I consider that law winch pre
vents the citizen of Savannah from verting for
city officers, until after he has paid a tax to the
corporation. This law effectually disenfranchis-
B the poor man; cuts hitn off from all participa
tion in public affairs, and places him completely
•fit the mercy of the rich. The rich elect officers
and pass laws to suit themselves. And those
laws bear most oppressively hard upon the poor.
They cannot say in plain words that the poor
man shall not vote; but they impose a most oner
ous and oppressive tax upon him—which they
“know he cant pay—and then say he shant vote till
he pays it! ‘is not the poor man effectually dis
enfranchised by this regulation, and almost made
a slave of ? And I call upon my readers to say
.how many honest and reputable citizens there
are in Savannah—men -who are respected for
their probity, their intelligence and their patriot
ism—individuals who were the country in danger,
-would be the first to risk their lives in the breach
—yet who are denied the privilege of voting for
their officers, merely because in the mutation of
•human affairs they may have chanced to be made
poor!
That this regulation was adopted for the pur
pose of excluding the poor from all influence in
public affairs, I have no doubt. It does not help
the revenuo of the corporation; because the tax
2S so oppressive that it is seldom paid. A reason
able tax which could be promptly paid would be
far preferable in point of revenue to an oppres
sive one which is never paid at all. As this regu
lation, therefore, has the effect of excluding hun
•dreds of poor men from the privilege of voting and
brings not a dollar into the treasury, I am con
strained to believe that it is a measure adopted
with an express design of restricting the freedom
of the olective franchise.
The propriety of these remarks at this time
will be allowed, when it is remembered that the
People are shortly to elect members to the Gene-
Tal Assembly; where, if there is any thing im
proper in the regulation above referred to, the
power is lodged that may reform it. And with
this object in view, I recommend to the support of
my fellow citizens, Michael Brown, Esq. as an in
dividual to whom may be safely entrusted these
important interests. He is a gentleman of res
pectable talents, extensive information, a sound
republican; and one well deserving the title of—
JTHE PEOPLE’S CANDIDATE.
Ido not solicit the votes of those who have
Ibeen degraded, disenfranchised, by the oligaichy
of this county. AH such will of course support
_Mr. Brown, who is at all times willing that every
man should enjoy his constitutional rights. But
“1 ask it of sincere republicans of all classes, to
Unite with me in support of an individual who
may do much to preserve the principles of our
government m their original purity.

Robberies.—- Several stores upon the wharves
on East Bay, have been recently broken open and
robbed of various articles of merchandize. A cel
lar on Magwood’s wharf, was forcibly entered on
Wednesday after-dark, and four kegs
of Lard taken out. Iwo Negroes, each with a keg
upon his shoulder, were observed by-one of our
Custom House Officers, crowing the -Bay, and
going into Unity Alley—they were interrogated,
and becoming alarmed, one ofthem threw thekeg
he had on his snoulder immediately into the face
of the Officer, which knocked him down, and they
were theieby enabled to escape, leaving the Lard
behind them. T lie other two missing kegs have
not yet been heard of.— Char. Courier. b
LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
By the ship Emperor, Capt. Bennet, 4
days from New-York we have received the
papers of that city up to the 26ih ult. five
days in anticipation of the mail.
The Morning Courier of the 25th ult.
contains London dates to the 25th and Liv
erpool to the 26th, received by the packet
ship Napoleon arrived at that port.
The political information by this arrival
is not important. Nothing had been re
ceived from the seat of war since the last
dates. Accounts from CoDstanstinople
reach to >6th July; preparations go on to
meet the Russians, but the sultan seems to
think the critical time has not yet arrived;
he has formally forbidden the cutting off
the ears of his slaughtered enemies.
Accounts from Lisbon are no later than
those received by former arrivals
( Ibrahim Pacha was about to evacuate
the Morea; he bad received permission
from his father t do so, and been notified
that transports to receive his troops had
already sailed from Alexandria.
The London New Times of the 25th
August says, according to accounts from
Trieste, the present object of the count
Capo D’lstria in pressing the departure of
Ibrahim and the delivery of the fortresses
into the hands of the Greeks,-is to prevent
them from being occupied by the French,
who might give the Morea a very different
kind of independence from what they'are
struggling to obtain. Admiral Codrington
according to the same accounts, will return
through Fi ance; the cause assigned for his
recal was, it is said, the indifference with
which he saw the Greek prisoners carried
away to Egypt Capo D’lstria will it is
thought, assist in person at the approach
ing conferences at Corfu; the Greek finan
ces are improving.
FROM OUR CORREPONDENT.
Office of the New York Gazette ,
September 21—2 r. m.
The packet ship Columbia, capt Dela
no, from London, brings us Loudon papers
to the 22d, and a Plymouth paper of the
24th ult. The C. sailed from Portsmouth
on the Ist of August, but put hack to Ply
mouth on the 16th in distress, with loss of
foremast, bowsprit, &c. having been run
foul of on the 9th, in lat. 49, lon 16, by the
City of Waterford, for Quebeck, which al
so lost her foremast, bowsprit, &r. She
sailed again on the 24ih, and brings papers
as above stated, from which we make the
following extracts and summary :
There is no later official intelligence
from the Russian army than the 23d of Ju
ly, which has already been given Reports
of the fill ofSchumla had been in circula
tion, but wre not coijfnmed in London at
the latest dates.
Toe London’Cmirier of the 18th, states,
“from authority,” that the reports of Mr.
Peel’s retiremetn, or contemplated retire
ment, from the British Ministry, were with
out the shadow of foundation.
A meeting was about to be held in Lon
don to petition Parliament for the removal
of the legal disabilities under which the
Jews now labor The Courier is iu favor
of the measure, which, it says, would not
be more beneficial to their character and
salvation than it would be honorable to the
character and salvation of the British Gov
ernment.
The London Courier of the 18th holds
the following language with respect to the
resignation of the Duke of Clarence :
The causes of the Duke of Clarence’s
resignation have not been made public—
but to those who assert that they have not
been, because they would re-flect discredit
| upon the Cabinet, we may safely reply that
there is not the least truth in the assertion
Hts Royal Highness tesignation was his
; own|act If he tho’t that the system upon
• which he had administered the Naval De
partment was the proper one, he could only
| remain in office so long as he could persevere
j in it, and he acted in a manly manner by re
signing. But iu behalf of those who might
he of a different opinion, we may also say
jthat thy acted with equal manliness, and, in
fact, did but their duty, in objecting to it
Our Constitution and Government are a
Constitution and government of checks and
i. counter-checks—from which uo public offi
cer however high his station, can withdraw
himself.
, If his Majesty thought the tender of the
. j Duke of Clarence’s resignation, made bv
I himself, ought not to be declined, we may
. | rest assured that his Majesty was not dis
posed to impute blame to his Ministers.—
( ! All the rumours which impute the resigna
tion to a difference of ©pinion about expen
ses, and to the displeasure felt by the Cab
: inet at the promotion o.f meritorious and
r distinguished officers, have not the least
: foundation But we must repeat that we
nevei saw any good ground for departing
from that system of administering the Navy
under which a Howe, a|St. Vincent, a Rod
ney, a Collingwood, and above all, a N h
son, gained such victories, beatingthe Na
vies of every other national 1 at last scarcely
a fleet existed any whereto contend with.-
We shall not, therefore, be sorry to find
tho N.:val Service under the direction
of a Board, the head of which shall be a
Cabinet Minister

Ihe It cather And Phe (Jrops .
Wore w e to copy all the articles on the
j “’father and the state of the crops, that
have appeared in tho London and provin
cial papers since our last, we should nearlv
fill our columns with them, and they would
after all, be only a representation of the
same facts, applicable to diffeieut places.
We shall content ourselves, therefore with
briefly stating, that in every part of the
kingdom the harvest has began with good
prospects of a favourable issue. All ac
counts concur in asserting that the corn has
suffered, comparatively with the anticipa
tions, very little ; and generally there is an
average produce. The great loss has been
in the hay ; which, in many places, espe
cially on low lands, has been either carried
off by floods, ar rottened by long continued
moisture. In Ireland the wheather has upon
the whole been good and crops theie are
reported to be abundant, more especially
potatoes.
The state of the weather has not of late
differed in France from what it has been
in this country. Rains have been abun
dant in almost all its provinces. Neverthe
less, the price of wheat had fallen in some
markets, and that of bread underwent a de
cline in proportion* From all parts of
France it is stated the harvest has not suf
fered the damage which had been appre
hended from the bad weather ; the farmers
however are represented as anxious for a
suspension of the rain. Some fears being
entertained respecting the harvest in the
neighbourhood of Paris, the metropolitan
Archibishop had ordered that prayeis
should be offered up in all his parishes for
the cesation of the rain.
From the N. Y. Statesman.
Experience versus Theory. —We publish
this evening a communication under the
signature of “A Pearl street Merchant ,” on
the subject of the Tariff. Our correspond
ent is really what he pretends to be; a
merchant, in extensive business, of much
experience, with ample means of informa
tion, by his connexions in trade with vari
ous parts of the country. Such men ought
surely to be acquainted with their own
interests; and their opinions, derived from
a practical knowledge of facts, will far out
weigh the most ingenious editorial specu
lations. We repeat an assertion made
some days since, and which cannot be
controverted, that the American System is
daily gaining new advocates in this city
among the most enlightened friends of a
well regulated commerce That the new
Tariff of duties needs some amendments,
will be readily acknowledged; but of tin
wisdom of the policy on which it is found
ed, there can be no doubt
Asa merchant having extensive con
nections in business with country dealers
from Main to Alabama, I have deliberate
ly and calmly luoked at the effects which
the new Tariff has produced thus far on
the community; and I am bound to declare
it is my honest and candid belief that so
far from its having produced Dad results and
entailed misery and wretchedness on our
country, it has been the means of saving
one half of this city from destruction, and a
great portion of them throughout the U.
States from bankruptcy and ruin
I am the more confirmed in this opinion
from conversations with merchants, who
have already visited this city from most of
the States in the Union; I find that there is
a general decrease of disposable produce
in every section of our country, and in ma
ny places a deficiency for home consump
tion, while larg-e stocks tYgoods remain on
hand W e all know the nature of the im
porting business the preceding year. We
also know that early last fall the United
States Bank, as well as the other Banks
sounded an alarm; and we now see the
wisdom of their doing so We felt the
effects at the time, and charged them with
many hard things, as will ever be the case
when the borrower is dented. But we now
see there was no mistake in their judge
ment then; “that our country could not,
with all tho abundance of last year’s crop,
pay for that years’ importation, and we
merchants must lessen our business.
Notwithstanding the alarm which gen
erally prevailed last winter, still large pro
visions were making for this year’s busi
ness, and great shipments to this country
were expected and would have been made.
Hhe fears which prevailed among mer
chants did not extend to British agents and
manufacturers: they had vended their
goods by auction to our merchants, real
ised the cash from the auctioneer, and
were in a good condition for another year 4 s
business when the discussion commenced
at Washington about the Tariff. This
caused them to wait a little, to see how it
should terminate. The chances appear
tng against its passing, immense orders were
forwarded; hut as the friends of the Amer
ican System appeared willing to support
the Tariff Bill, even with all it* objection
able provisions, which a wish to render it
odious had attached to it, contrary to my
expectation, and those of the merchants
generally, it passed and became a law of
the land.
Upon this, immediate countermanding
orders went express in all directions, and
fortunately for our country, they reached
the British manufacturer in season. For,
had the Tariff not had passed and taken
effect as early as it did, the amount of im
portation would have entailed a debt of
many millions upon our country more than
it could pay, and consequently would have
scattered ruin and bankruptcy in every di
rection. The goods t'lius imported must
have been sold, Tariff’ or no Tariff.
Notwithstanding the new duties, dry
goods upon the averargeare not higher this
year than they were last year, and the con
sumer will get them as cheap. It is true
that expectation was raised, and many have
held their goods, expecting an advance;
hut they are disappointed; and what is the
cause of this disappointment? Certainly
not the Tariff—because we know that act
is now in operation.
What then, if not the Tariff: The
cause is obvious:—for someyears past there
has been a gradual extension of business
throughout the country, and every merchant
lias more or less of last year’s supply on
hand and he finds himself still in debt for
his old stock, while his available means of
payment are very much lessened. His pur
chases are therefore and small as
some have imagined our importations to he,
they have to be more than enough. I hose
who expected a rise in consequence of the
Tariff, are of course disappointed, and are
glad to receive the average prices of last
year for their goods.
Now, suppose nothing had taken place
to prevent shipments, which the Tariff cer
tainly has done, and that the importations
of the goods ordered had actually been
made—what then would have been the
state of business and the consequences to
the merchants in this country? Already
saddled with a heavy debt, and a certain
curtailment of resources this year to the
amount of several millions, can any man of
experience entertain a doubt what our sit
uation would have now been, and that the
natuial consequence would have been fatal
to our merchants? Distress and bankrupt
cy would inevitably have pervaded the
land.
Whatever therefore may have been the
actuating motive in those who framed and
adopted the Tariff, I am thus far well sat
isfied with its general effects: though parts
of the act appear to me ill shapen and sus
ceptible of great improvement. It should
always be borne in mind, that some of its
provisions were forced upon its friends, and
that the whole is open to amendment* It
will be far more agreeable to listen to de
bates in favor of some alterations of the
Tariff, than to read the long lamentations
and doleful speeches, which would other
wise have been made in Congress on the
depression of trade and the ruin of the
country.
A Pearl Street Merchant .
New-York, Sept. 19
The attempted ascent of Vr. Robertson,
yesterday, in his balloon, was brought to a
speedy termination, which at cne time was
also very menacing. The balloon, at about
six was launched into the air, from the
north-east corner of Castle Garden, with a
fresh north-east wind. The consequence
was, that, before it could rise sufficiently
high to clear the fUg-staff, directly under
is lee, the wind drew the whole equip
age against it, and there became entangled.
The thin silk was speedily torn, the gas was
escaping, the car almost bottom upwards,
uni the traveller lying, apparently uncon
scious, across the netting and the hoop that
confined the cords, his head hanging down.
He was then at an elevation of some seven
ty feet, and directly over the stone and grav-
I of the block upon which the fort is built,
f’he universal 6*ar was that he would fal
nd he dashed *o pieces. Happily the hall
yards of the flag wore thrown to him which
he grasped by instinct as it were, and at
the same moment almost fell from the car,
and alter a momentary suspense in air slid
or rather fell, rapidly along the rope, and
was received at the foot of the flag staff on
the top of thehatllements by some persons
prepaiied to catch him lie thus escaped
without accident, and probably with less
mental suffering than was endured by tens
of thousands of spectators, who witnessed,
without being, able to relieve his peril.—
Was there a single one among them who
did not at the moment ask him or herself,
as the case may be, whether such utterly
useless exhibitions, as balloon ascensions—
leading to no possible good end —ought to
be encouraged?
Mistakes of Ambiguity. —Ambiguity of
speech sometimes leads to very sad mis
takes A gentleman owned a bitch, which
he was in a habit, as many are, of improp.
erly calling a slut ; and at the same time
he chanced to have a hired girl who was
notorious for her dirtv habits. While the
bitch and the girl formed a part of his house
hold, he engaged an honest matter of fact
fellow, to work for him as a hired man—
While the man was yet new in his place,
and little ascustonied to tire language of his
employer, the latter suspecting the bitch of
killing sheep, but being unwilling to put a
favorite animal to death on mere suspicion
ordered the man to take the slut and tie her
up in tine barn. “Very well, sir,” said
Tom; and the gentleman going out imme
diately after, to ride with his wife, Tom
hastened to execute his orders, which (hav
ing noticed the filthy habits of the maid,
and never dreaming that a slut was any
think but a slut) lie did exactly according
to the letter. The gentleman returning
m due time, and not finding Betty in poses
sion of her pr emises, inquired of the hired
man where she was. “In the barn sir,” re
plied Tom. ‘ W hat is she doing there 1”
asked the master. “Nawthin, as I know

THE MARKET.
Cotton continues to arrive freely; from 3to
4000 bales are supposed to have arrived this week,
and the principal sales making are at 9 to 9 1-4 cts
Salt. —This article has been an object of specu
lation this week; from 50 to 70,000 bushels hare
been bought up at 65 to 70 cents, in anticipation
of the low river; the stock is estimated now at
about 100,000 bushels, and is retailing at 70 to 75
cents.
Sugars. —Holders of sugars are disposed to ad
vance the prices a little, as the stock is considered
light with the present low state of the river; the
prices have also advanced at the north fully $1
per hundred.
Coffee of a prime quality is wanted; a few loti
have arrived this week, and sales are making of
the best at 16 1-2 to 18 cents, second quality 14 1
16 cents.
Molasses has become scarce, and advanced in
price; it is selling by the hhd. at 45 cent 9.
Whiskey. —The holders of whiskey are not anx
ious to sell at former prices; it has advanced at the
north in consequence of the rise in grain; small
sales are making for Baltimore and Philadelphia
at 33 to 40 cents.
Flour has become scarce; it is selling at §lO
for fresh canal—country flour of a prime quality,
will meet with ready sale at $6 a $7.
Bagging. —About this article there is a diversi
ty of opinion; some believe that should the rirer
continue low, the large quantity carried into the
country so early in the season, will reduce the
stocks low, before a supply can be obtained; while
others are sanguine that there is a sufficient stock
in market for the whole crop—we understand!
few hundred pieces have been offered at 23 cents;
the best quality continues to retail at 25 cents.
Iron retails at 5 3-4 to 6 cents; there is no de
mand only at retail.
The River continues very lpw; Freights ofcofc
ton have advanced to $2 a bag to Savannah, and
up Freights are one-fourth over customary.
