THURSDA Y MORJYLVG, OC IS2B.
B3* By the George Clinton we have received
New York papers of >Vrtuav last.
The doctrine Lately put forth by the State Rights
men, <( that any State lias a right to declare an act
of Congress unconstitutional, and thereupon, to
resist its opei ations, strikes at the very existence
of the Union; and would, if put in practice, anni
hilate the General Government, and raise up, in
its stead, a number of separate and hostile nations,
among whom there would be perpetual rivalry,
never ending jealously, continued war and blood
shed.
According to this doctrine of the disunionists, a
State Legislature is fully competent to annul any
act of Congress, and to declare its provisions void.
It is not one of those merely speculative theories,
which may be indulged in without any practical
result. But its propagation tends to sap the foun
dations of the Constitution, and break asunder the
Union of the States. Jts fallacy, therefore, ought
to be exposed, and every friend of his Country
should set his face against it.
That it was the intention of the framers of tho
Constitution to establish a government, of suffi
cient authority to bind every member of it, may
be seen from the plain words of their preamble ;
and in article sth, it is said, “this Constitution,
and the laics op the United States made in pursu
ance thereof, shall, be the supreme law of the land.”
And yet the disunionists contend that a State
Legislature can at any time annul a law of Con
gress !
Let th’3 doctrine once gain general credit, and
there will be an end of the ‘Federal Government;
an end of the Union of the Stales.
From the River Plate. —Theschr. George Eyre,
capt! Rees from Montevideo, to New York, put
into this port on Wednesday last, in distress;
having sprung a loak, and experienced much dif
ficulty in keeping afloat with both pumps going.
Capt. Rees left Monte Video about the middle
cf August, and reports that the blockade was, at
that time, enforced with increased vigor, and that
the blockading squadron hid been reinforced.—
Preparations were making to carry on the war
with activity, as no hopes were entertained of
ponce.
Several American vessels had been captured by
tne blockading squadron, and condemned. The
echf. ‘] ell-Tale, of New York, was taken by a
Brazilian cruizer, and brought into Montevideo.
M kdo laying in port, the mate and crew were
sent to the common prison, and confined ten days
and then discharged, without a reason being as
signed. A most brutal violence was also commit
ted on the person of the steward of the Tell-Tale.
The American citizens at Montevideo, exasper’
ated by these and other outrages, held a meeting
on the 11th August, and addressed a spirited re
presentation of the transaction to William Tudor,
Esq. our charge d’ affaires at the court of Brazil,
and another to captain Hoffman of tho U. etatca
sloop of war BootT.M.
Great Despatch. —The steam boat Charleston
left here on Thursday morning, for Darien,
and returned to this place on Saturday morn
ing last, after remaining in Darien one day.
Tho Macon Bridge was sold on Wednesday last,
by the Commissioners appointed by the State for
that purpose, for $26,150.
Mind your shops. —The store of Durett & Bo
ren, at the cast end of the bridge, was entered on
Thursday evening, while all were at supper, and
robbed of several hundred dollars worth of goods,
besides a. considerable sum of money. The thieves
were immediately pursued, and part of the goods
recovered, but the villains made their escape.
Macon Telegraph.
fee —Of considerable thickness was sermon two
or three mornings last week. It is feared the su
gar cane in the neighborhood will be injured. Tho
■weather continues cool, and extremely oppressive
from the drought and dust.— ib.
Large Pears. —We were shown, some days
since, a number of Pears, raised in Jasper county,
in this state, several of which w eighed upwards of
two pounds each.— ib.
Intemperance. — In Houston county, on the eve
ning of tiie General Election, an old man by the
name of John Barr, fell from a window in the se
cond story of the court-house, in a state of intox
ication, and was badly hurt.— ib.,
Thriving Business.’ The Directors of tee Ma
eon Bank have declared a dividended of twelve

Sugar. —lt gives us great pleasure to have it
incur power to exhibit another fine specimen of
sugar cane. The Rev. Robert Flournoy of Put
uam, brought one of the Ribbon Cane to Milledge
villelast week, having 11 joints ripe. It was
grown by Mr. F. in Putnam county and may be
seen at this office. Altogether it is the finest spe
cimen of the cane we have seen in this part of the
state. Let every man who attempts to plant this
crop procure tho Ribbon Cane. All the experi
ments that have been made with it, show most
decisively, that it is better adapted to our soil and
climate than any other. It will be finally culti
vated extensively, we have no doubt much fur
ther north than this.
Another. —Our excellent and enterprising citi
zen Mr. James Boykin of this county has sue
ceeded beyond all others in growing the cane.
He left at our office, the other day, where it may
be seen, a specimen of his crop It is six inches
in circumference, and nearly six feet, are ripe
enough for the purpose of making syrup. Three
or four feet of it are in a condition for making
suirar.
This is of the common kind of cane. YV e must
repeat that while such an article as that called
the Ribbon Cane can be produced, our people are
wasting their time and labor by applying it to the
cultivation of tho common kind.— Geo. Journal.
Mr. Bradley, of Vermont, in a letter written
in 1824, states that Mr. Adams and himself wore
members of the committee to which that part of
Mr. Jefferson’s Message was committed, recom
mended ao inhibition of the depariurc of our ves
sels from the ports of the United States. —He fur
ther states, that Mr. Adams, after acceding to the
propriety of the measure, remarked to him, whilst
passing from the committee room to the Senate :
“ This measure will cost you and me our seats,
but private interest must not be put in opposition
to public good.”
SAVANNAH, THURSDAY MORNING . OCTOBER 30, 1828.
[From the Augusta Courier.]
On the first Monday in next month, the free
-1 men of tins state will have an opportunity of vo
! for Electors of President and Vice President
, States. It is understood that all the can-
I didates ter Electors, except two, are pledged to
j vote for Gen. Jackson as President—they ask
’ 6>r support on this ground alone—There are two
j others who are known to be in favor of the re-elec
tion of Mr.-Adams—these two are
CoLTho’s Murray of Lincoln, and
John Burch, of-Wilkes.
Those of our ciizens, therefore, who are in fa
vor of the present administration of the General
Government, will, of course, if they act wisely,
vote tor those two Electors only. They will not
assist in choosing persons as Electors, who they
know beforehand wall vote in thoir choice of Pre
sident, contrary to their wishes, and contrary to
what they believe to be the best interests of their
country. It is, therefore, suggested again to the
friends of ibe Administration to vote for the tu T o
Electors only here named. If they are elected,
as they may be, by due concert and fidelity, the
state will in all probability, have two votes in
the choice of their next President. If they are
not, elected, those u r ho vote for them will thereby
iurnish an evidence, that the have no desire for
such a qhange in the administration of the Gene
ral Government as cannot be expected to pro
duce any benefit, and which it would be too ha*
zardous to make by way of experiment, and too
important to risk for the sake of indulging in par
ty feeling.
The Elections . —From New-Jersey the accounts
are in favor of the Adams tickets by increased
majorities. The Jackson ticket has succeeded in
I lnladelphia by an unexpected majority. Ac
counts from other parts of the state have not been
received.
J ermont Election. —The legislature of Ver
mont assembled at Montpelier on the 9th instant.
On canvassing the votes given at the last elec
tion, it appeared that the following gentlemen
have been chosen without material opposition : .
Samuel C. Crafts, Governor.
Henry Olin, Lieutenant Governor.
Benjamin Swan, Treasurer.

The Boston Gazette of the 15th, says, there ‘
was a violent gale of wind yesterday from the
South. Three or four square rigged vessels
bound in, were in the Bay last evening, but una

sloop sunk at the north part of the city.
The concourse of strangers from the interior

for.
Mr. Austin, deputy of Greenwich

books were examined, and the deficiency discov
ered, when he fled, and was pursued and taken in
Ireland. He says £2,500,000 has passed through
his hands, and appears to have speculated in ad
vances and discounts on the checks.
The late archbishop of Canterbury’s will hav

The nomination to the registry of the prerogative
court, lately secured to him by parliament, is
valued at £IOO,OOO, in addition to his other wealth.
His income was said to be £25,000 per annum.
We gather from the Boston papers, that the

Theatre, has taken himself o/F also, even beyond
the police officers, who had received special in

the said gentleman—it being alledged that some
similar misfortunes in that and other places, yet
remain unredressed
A Close Share. —A teamster fell from a wagon

The Wilmington, N. C. Recorder, states that
some of the planters on Cape Fear River, will
loose a considerable portion of (heir luxuriant
crops by the birds. Prodigious swarms of those
little depredators, settled themselves in those
fields which were sowed late in the season. Some
planters have lost JOUO bushels and others in pro
portion to the extent sowed. One planter w T hose
loss is estimated at 800 bushels, computes the
quantity of powder and shot expended in the
protection of his fields, at seventy dollars.
’ On Monday about 2 o’clock, P. M. the large

the southwest, fortunately blew the fire from al
most all the other buildings of the establishment,
and no other buildings were consumed. The fire
having communicated to the immense mass of
34,00 bushels of coal, it was impossible to save but
j a very small quantity. The loss to the Govern

(By the Geo. Clinton )
Ne w -York, Oct. 20 — Capt.Purrington of the ship i
Mary, arrived on Saturday from St. Übes, reports
the cduntry to be in a very unsettled state ; so
much so, that merchants did not think themselves
safe. Several of the nobility had been imprisoned
on account of their hostility to Don Miguel. By a
letter received at St. Übes, it was understood that
the island of Madeira was in a state of revolution ;
there had been a disturbance beween the two par
ties, in which the adherents of Don Pedro gained
the ascendency. The state of affairs at St. Mi- j
chaels was similar
A large schr. was off the port of St. Übes, rob
bing all Portuguese, but did not disturb those of
other nations. She had robbed two, and sent
them into St. Übes. She did not show any colors,
but it was supposed she was one of Don Pedro’s
vessels.
On Friday night last, some villains attempted
to break into the corner house of Greenwich and

[by THE OGLETHORPE.]
; Extract of a letter to a respectable mercantile
house in this city, dated
“Liverpool, Sept. 9, 1828.
“Since our last respects, there has nothing in
teresting transpired in the Cotton market. ‘"We
are not offering anv of yours for sale at present, in
. the hope of doing better soon. The sales the pre
! sent week have been on a more extensive scale,
as was to be expected from the reduced quanti
ty in the hands of the dealers and spinners ; but
while holders continue to offer their cottons so
. freely, the market cannot stiffen.
“There is a good demand for goods and yarns
in Manchester ; but, unless prices improve, they
cannot afford to give much advance on the raw
material The weight of cotton in port is much
reduced compared with the corresponding period
last year ; but there is no scarcity of cottons, and
as the season is so far advanced, with a prospect of
a bountiful supply the ensuing crop, we do not
calculate on any material improvement on present
rates.
“Sea Islands being higher in proportion than
other kinds, have declined a little the last three
weeks. It requires good quality to bring 14d per
lb. If the crop proves a full average one, u’e
think it will not be safe to give over 9 cents for
good Uplands and stained Sea Islands; 20 cents
ior good clean common Sea Islands ”
Extract of another, dated
“Liverpool, 9th Sept. 1823.

| rican cotton in Liverpool is about 60,000 less than
at this time last year, and must diminish further
ere the new crop arrives. The consumption is
also very extensive. It would therefore appear
that the present state of things arises from the tear
of an extensive new crop.
“The import into Great Britain from the Unit
ed States is about 360,000 bales against 560,090 in
the same period last year, but from other places
there is an increase of about 50,000.
“Fair Uplands have sold at 64 and some laro-Q
sales made at 6d and 6 l-Bd.
“Rice dull and the C<xrn markets declining.*’
