SPJtFii _! 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. l ax Populi . 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 From the London World, Aug. 20. 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 om,” said Tom, “she's sulk’’ as Satan*’ “But how came she there, man?” exclaim ed the gentleman. “Why,” said Tom, “dang it, / tied her up , sir , as you told me toV —Berkshire American .

Maternal Intrepidity. —A gentleman informs us that some time last week the wife of Mr. Lemuel Alexander of Smithfiield, in this state, went to the well to draw water, with a young child in her arms. While in the act, from some cause, the child slip ped or sprang frwn her, and plunged into the well, which was about 30 feet deep. The mother imme diately seized the well pole, with which she de scended a part of the distance, and then jumped down to the relief of her child, w hich was raised from the water and held in that position until the cries of Mrs. A. brought Mr. Joshua Arnold to her relief Both the mother and child, were taken from the well, without having received material injury— Prov.

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.
