THE ARUi.
Til UR SPA Y MORNING, NOV. 0, 1828.
Strong efforts have been made by a few diku
niomsts in this State, to revive again those angry
feelings, wdiich, a lew years since, raged with so
muck bitterness ; and enlist them in anew war,
not only against the Union, but the individual
Htates of the Union, under the pretence of con
tending for State rights, and Southern interests.
Many of the individuals who were leaders of the
Troup party in the struggle of 182*5, still openly
avow the intention oi passing a law to prohibit the
introduction of Nortiiern manufactures, and Wes.
tern hogs and horses ; and they call upon their old
associates, and conjure them by their fealty to the
Troup party, by the remembrance of tlieir former
hatred towards their opponents, and their exulta
tion on recent success, to rally again, and act with
concert in the approaching elections, and during
the coming session of the Legislature.
From these preparatory steps, it maybe conjec
tured. that there are some few’ individuals who are
really mad enough to attempt to carry these pro
hibitory measures into practice ; and that a bill to
prohibit the introduction of Northern manufac.
tures, and Western productions, will be really in
troduced ihto the Legislature. Though attempts
will be made to make it a party question ; to re
vive old distinctions, and to carry the measure on
the strength of old party prejudices—yet, that
such a bill will pass, we cannot believe.
Although that party which opposed the admin
istration of < Tovernor Troup became extinct as a
party, on his retirement from office ; and although
the administ ration of the present governor has
not-encounte red any thing like systematic opposi
tion—vet we have no reason to believe that those
who opposed the measures ot Governor Troup
f. ora principle , w'ould look on with indifference, or
now cease to st ;pport the Union of the States, and
oppose “those <k ctrines and measures which tend
to the overthra .v of the Constitution, and to in
volve Os in awa r with our neighbors. In fact, w T e
believe that shot ild such a measure be attempted,
every true friend of his country would rally in de
fence of the U nion ; and that the two parties
would be directl 7 at issue again : not in regard to ,
the relative me? Its of Clark or Troup—Bpt on the j
! question wliethi r wo shall abide by the Constitu
tion, or set up fo. r ourselves.
On this questi >n, \ve should not despair of the
issue. In such a contest, Clark and Troup would
be forgotten ; at and the distinctions of C tar kite and
Trouper, would be merged in those of Unionist
and Disunionisti .
The discrepancy between the statements of the
National IntelJ igencer and the United States
Telegraph on the subject of the Ohio election,
cannot have K* en overlooked by those who take
tiie least inters st in the matter. We have judg
ed the Intel iig encer, however, much the best au
thority, and 1 .are copied their statements in pre
ference to tit >se of the Telegraph. Expeiience
J has given us confidence in the honesty and candor
>of their rein/ rks. Nothing, however, is more un
cel tain thar , the result of an election ; and wrong
estimates u ay be formed and conclusions drawn,
with the b# st intentions.
The ac counts from Oiiio continue to be very
contradic torv. The Intelligencer speaks very
coufideu ly of the success of the Administration
Ticket, while the Telegraph, with equal confi
dence, claims entire success fi.r the friwids of
Jack?/ a. A few days, however, will clear up all
umv’ taint}-.
I V’e felicitate ourselves and the public, on the
pr< .spect of a speedy close of the present election
cj mipaign ; which for the untiring zeal with which
i-- has been waged, and the bitterness of spirit
* which it has awakened, has exceeded all that has
gone before it. Both the people who have read,
and the presses which have daily groaned under
their load of scandal and abuse, require, we should
imagine, a short respite from their labors. Yl hat
ever may be the result of the election —whoever
may have succeeded in the contest, all peaceable
men must be gratified, when the din of the battle
is over, and the public mind is sufiered to sink
again into tranquility and repose.
STATE OF TIIE MARKET.
Blue Ruin, and Anti-fog mat ics in general. —
The business in these staple articles lias been very
animated during the past week, and several ex
tensive wholesale dealers have made heavy in
vestments The demand continues steady, and a
slight rise may be expected, unless large importa
tions should arrive.
Cash. —We have lately heard considerable en
quiry for this article, and found the supply insuf
ficient for the demand. A few parcels of approv
ed brands would meet with a very ready sale.
) Conscience. —This article has all been bought
up on speculation, and there is none now in first
hands.
Dengue. The crop of the present season has
been very abundant, and our market rather crowd
ed with the article. The consequence is, that
speculators are rather shy of making investments,
and the stock on hand moves off heavily..
j Oust. Since the late dry weather, this article
has been rising, and heavy lots go olf daily at a
considerable advance.
Honesty. —There arc a few stale lots of the old
crop still on hand ; but probably of an indifferent
j quality, as it is generally refused by the dealers ;
while strictly prime of the present year’s growth
; is much enquired af\er.
j Industry Scarce ; prices nominal.
! Mora ity. —Some very pretty samples have been
shown us, within the last few days ’, but there is
little or no enquiry for the article, and the stock
jon band is inferior. The traders are afraid to in
! vest, and the only demand is for home consuinp
j t o jvYics The market is quite bare of the article,
; at present., and the dealers must stop, unless soon
supplied by fresh importations. Some attempts
have been‘made to suoply_ the present demand, by
domes:k manufacture ; but they have in genera
failed A speculation was entered into by the
Devil attached 1o our concern, for the supply oi a
few leading articles of prime necessity ; but his
machinery blew up in attempting to a Ui
ish battle, and the enterprise was abandoned.
I Politics. There have been but few transactions
in this article since the Ist of October, and t e
prices are merely nominal.
Patriotism,—' The late . arilf produced some
animation in cur market, and large lots were U.
ken up on speculation by dealers, who calcuja
on a scarcity, in consequence of the check
foreign importations. It has been found, hone
er that a supply of domestic growth, fully equa.
SAVANNAH, THURSDAY HORNING, NOVEMBER 6, 1828.
to the demands of nor market, has been furnished, ,
and the article now goes off readily at old rates.
Pumpkins. —A light cargo of this delicious fruit
was lately received ; but, as the demand is princi
pally confined to our northern friends, and as we
have no thanksgiving days in this Statj, and con
sequently few pumpkin pies, it is not expected 1
there will be any scarcity in the market.
Whiskey. —The extra demand for thig article, •
during the election campaign, at barbacues, and
anti-tariff homespun dinners, has nearly drained
the market. A few shipments would readily go
down.
Subscribers. —The present crop conies in very
freely, and meets with a steady domand. Old
rates are fully maintaintained.
Advertisements. —Our columns are rather bare
of the article at present, yet heavy consignments
are expected.
FOR THE SAVANNAH MERCURY.
A SHORT SERMON,
FROM THE DESK OF GREY DOMINIE THE DEACON.
Now there was a day when the sons of God came
to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan
came also among them. And the Lord said unto
Satan whence contest thou ? Then Satan answer
ed the Lord and said, from going to and fro in the
earth, and from walking up and down in it.
We may gather, my readers, frorrrthis portion
of scripture, that satan is no idle being ; that he
is ever active ; constantly hovering around the
great theatre of human life, and busy in the affairs,
men. We may behold him, without much stretch
of the imagination, or violence to our faith, now
flitting through the darkness of midnight, now
walking at noon-day—ever watchful and sleep
less ; ever intent, on some scheme of mischief;
now we behold him engaged in some heinous
crime—now again instigating some petty trans
gression .
But, my readers, may we not descend to parti
culars, and enquire, what are the matters in which
he busies himself, here amongst us? If you will
permit me, 1 will point out some of them.
lie visits the high and the low ; he instructs the
patriot how he may pursue his own plans of am
bition, and selfishly subserve bis own interests ;
while, to the eyes of re multitude, his sole en
deavours seem directed to the good of the people,
lie teaches the politician how to mask the basest
schemes under the most plausible pretence.s.
He instructs the lawyer how to take fees on
both sides, cheat the law and finally bamboozle
both his clients.
He visits our marts of commerce ; he incents
frauds in the packing >f cotton; he deceives the
buyer with false sa;. pies, and defrauds the seller
1 with false weights.
He takes a look into the counting house of the
merchant, and shows him how to overreach his
neighbor or correspondent. He assists the retail
er of dry goods in ptttfmg off his damaged fabrics, •
and the grocer in sanding liis sugar and watering
his rum.
He visits the scenes of dissipation, invites to
drunkenness, lewJness and profanity ; he stirretli
up quarrels and causeth bloodshed- He is ever
present where there is evil to be devised, or mis
chief to be done, lie pays frequent visits to the
idle ; lie hovers round the epicure, revels in the
smoke of his cigar, and appears to the drunkard
in the shape of a red nose.
He passetli to and fro through the earth * and I
learn, from common report, that he occasionally
pops into the printing office, to discover what •
mischief he may be allowed to have a finger in
there ; that at one time he may be seen inditing
a paragraph for the detraction of an honest name ; 1
anil then again pulling a worthless scoundrel into
office and power. Sometimes lie is engaged in
living a detail of events which never happened,
and misrepresenting those that have. Then he
will seize the pee of the politician, and by furi
ous attacks on good order and government, at
tempt to throw the whole political world into pie.
He frequently gives account of battles which
were never fought ; of murders which were never
perpetrated; and frightens old women with
marvellous relation of storms and shipwrecks, of
1 car*h-quakos, and terrible disasters by sea and
land.
Bat what will excite the especial admiration
of many people, is the fact, that lie is a regular
attendant at church. “ And the sons of God pre
sented themselves before the Lord, and satan came
also among them” —saith our text. Many will
doubtless exclaim, what doeth he there ?
lie assists the old miser in reckoning up his
stoves, while the parson is reading his sermon;
and he forms schemes for tue young spendthrift to
waste his, at the same time ; he assists the old
hvpocrite in inditing mock prayers; and he tunes
i the voice of the profane man to sing the praises
of that Being whose name lie blasphemes every
day ; he weighs down the eyelids of the sleeper,
and he fills the imagination of the sensaaliat with
visions of unholy eri|oynient; he rivets the gaze
of the youth on the forms of female beauty ; and
he turns the head of the maiden with dreams of
new bonnets, gaudy attire, and the soft whispers i
oi sighing lovers.
Indeed the period of church service, is ever a !
busy time with satan. But the reader will doubt
less bo able to judge, from this specimen of his
transactions, how meddlesome a being the devil
is , and to foresee the necessity of continual vigil
ance, lest he should also interfere in his own pe
culiar affairs.
j ——-
To the Editor of the Mercury,
Sir —In the United States Telegraph of the
17th October, which accidentally fell in my way
this morning, (for I have long since abandoned the
i regular reading of it) the following article under
the editorial head, attracted my attention.
j 9 The Dancing Bear.”—A certain personage,
’ well known in Kentucky, under this title, a bank
rupt in fortune and principle, w T ho has been tor
sometime past hanging on upon the contingent
fund of the State Department, has been, as we
have heard, from the best authority; appointed by
the authority of Mr. Rush, at the suggestion of
I Mr. Clay, to inspect the land office at New-Or
j leans. Here is a fine specimen of Mr. Clay’s eco
nomv. Thomas Curry inspector ofa land office
|j n New-Orleans! We understand that the usual
compensation is a per diem and travelling allow
ance. About twenty four hundred dollars for the
travelling expenses of Thomas Curry to examine
one Think of that people of Ken
tucky.”
It is truly disgusting to witness the unprinci
pled attempts which demagogues are constantly
making to destroy the character of some ol the
best men in the country. To such an extent has
the Telegraph gone in the work of misrepresenta
tion and slander, that its influence as a source of
correct information is completely destroyed, with
all except those who are determined to put down
tiie present administration “though pure as the
angels which stand at the right hand of God ” It
is not surprising therefore, that Mr. Clay who sus
tained so influential a part in the election of Mr.
Adams, should be a prominent object of hatred
aid persecution. In reading the article alluded
•j 1 was forcibly reminded ol a rsmaiK of the la
lented John Elliott, after his return from the So
ate of the United States; in speaking of execu
te appointments, he observed, that either in an
interview with Mr. Clay before leaving Washing
ton, or in a letter which he received from him af
terwards, I will not be sure which—Mr. Ulay ex
pressed his regret at his retirement, and assured
! him of his friendship; at the same time entreat”
| ing him never to request any thing of him which
, did not come within the control of Lis own de”
parturient; that lie felt it his duty to be thus ex
plicit with his friends, that they might know the
course of conduct he intended to pursue in relation
to the other departments of the government, and
no more might be expected of him than lie could
consistently perform.
If such was his judicious determination, on his
| entering into office, is it probable that he would
now depart from it when his accusers are violat
ing every manly duty in order to find out new
grounds of jiccusation against him?
Jacob Small lias been re-elected Mayor of Bal
timore, by a majority of 1401 votes ov9r his com
petitor, James Mosher. The votes were, for
Small, 4551, fur Mosher, 3150.
From the National Intelligencer.
The Election in Ohio.—We have kept the
paper from the press, in order to lay before our
readers the latest intelligence which the mail of
last night might, afford from the election in the
state oi Ohio. No additional details have been
furnished by it. We have the satisfaction, how
evci, to give to our readers the following general
estimate of the result, which wo have no doubt
will be fully realized by the returns when they
come in.
From the Zanesville Republican, Oct. 18.
There can be no doubt of the re-election of
Governor Trimble, by a majority of from FIVE
to TEN THOUSAND.
We have every reason to believe, that, with
proper exertions on the part of the friends of the
Administration, the majority for their Electoral
Ticket will be TEN or FIFTEEN THOUSAND.
Vermont. —The government of this state, pur
suant to its constitution and laws, v;as duly organi

HOn. R. B. Bates was elected Speaker of the
House, and T. Merrill, Clerk. After despatching
some other preliminary business, the House ad
journed till the afternoon, when it again assembled,
and the Governor and Council appeared in its
chamber. The report of the canvassing commit
tee was then announced, to the effect that the fol

FROM OUR CORREPONDENT.
______ i
Office of the Courier, ?
Charleston, Nov. I—B1 — 8 p. m. }
* Cottons. —ln long staple cotton there is nothing
doing ; as yet but a few bags of the new crop
have been received, and the sales of them are not
sufficient to gve a tone to the market. The de
mand for Upland was good during the week, at
prices about the same as at our last. The princi
pal sales were at 9 1-2 for good to 9 3-4 for very
good lots, and 10 cents for prime; very choice
! would command something more ; wo quote 9 a
[lO cents. The low state of the rivers prevents
the supply accumulating. The demand is about
equal to the receipts, and the stock is small.
Rice. —lu the early part of the week the demand
for rice was good, and sales were made at full pri
ces, but towards the close the market became dull,
and sales ivere made at lower rates notwithsland
, ing the moderate receipts. Several parcels of
new crop Were received. We quote prime $3 1-8
a 3 1-4 ; inferior to good 2 1-2 a 3.
Corn. —There were no arrivals of Corn the last
week. The article is dull, and sales from store
limited. We repeat the quotation of 39 a 42.
Flour. —This article has improved in price ; the
sales of the were generally at $7, and now hold
ers are asking more. We quote Baltimore, Phila
delphia and Richmond superfine, at 7 a 7 1-4. A
lot of Fayetteville, the first this season, was re
ceived on Saturday, and a part of it sold at $G 1-2
a 6 3-4.
Groceries. —The business of the iveek though
fair was not quite equal to the previous one. There
is no material change in prices. The stock of su
gar is small, not sufficient to admit f heavy ope
rations. It is probable but for the low state of the
; rivers the supply would not be equal to three
j weeks demand. Os the lower qualities’ of coffee
{ the stock is very large, particularly Rio, and is
very low, while prime groen is scarce. We quote
prime 15 a 15 1-2; inferior to good 12 1-2 a 14.
Freights. —To Liverpool l-2d.to Havre 1 1-8a
1 1-4 cts. Coastwise freights are dull, at 62 1-2
for squar*, 87 .-2 cts. for round bags cotton, and
37 to 50 cts. per casks of rice, to New-York. To
Providence, $1 a 1 1-4 for cotton.

FOREIGN MARKETS.
Havre, Sept. 15.—Sales of cotton have been
made to some extent during the past fortnight, &
the total amount disposed of comprises 6,740
bales, of which 5,212 bales are United States
sorts, as detailed at foot. Our importations during
the same period, do not. exceed 3,153 bales.
Cottons, of good quality, are becoming less
abundant, and tlie last sales cf those descriptions
took place at some advance on our quotations of
31st August: inferior sorts remain without altera
tion. Stock 35,000 bales.
Liverpool, Sept. 16.—The business done irr cot
ton, during the past w r eek, was rather on a limited
scale ; and the sales of all descriptions from Oth
to V2th inst. inclusive, amounted to 10,040 bales,of
which the following are particulars: 220 Sea
Island at 13 a 17d, with 10 at 2s Id ; 60 stained at
6 1-2; a 10 l-4d; 3,400 upland at 5 7-8 a 7d—
-1,250 Orleans at 6 l-Bd. with 20 at 9d ; 1,150
Alabama at 5 7-8 a 6 5-8d ; 3,200 Brazil at 7 1-4
a 8 3-8d ; 50 West India at 6d ; 520 Egyptian at
7 a S l-2d, with 10 at 9d ; 120 Surat at 3,* a 4 l-6d;
10 Bengal at 4d.
The sales have been wholly to consumers, with
the exception of 400 bales Brazil and 500 Ameri
can on speculation, and Brazil for export . and in
some instances rather lower prices w r ere accepted
for American descriptions than would have been
taken the week previous, though not suiliciently
general *o establish a decline oi l-Bdper lb.
The import in same period is 6,308 bales ; and
since the Ist January w ? e have received into this
port 490,400 bales, against 654,420 to same period
last year. There is a decrease in the supply from,
the United States of 203,600, and into the King
dom of 231,000 bales.
On Saturday, 13th inst. the sales were compu
ted al 1509 bales, and yesterday at 3,090 ; of the
latter about 1800 were Brazil, but there is no
change in the general complexion of the market.
The accounts from Manchester are not more un
favorable than for some time past, but spinners
complain they are making little or no profit, and
it would appear they are not tempted to purchase
more of the raw material than sufficient for the
supply of their immediate w ants.
Monday Evening, Sept. loth. —There has been
rather more basiness done in the cotton market
to-day than during tho past week; the sales
amounted to-day to about 3000 bags, and 1500
sold on Saturday, of these 2>oo are Brazil.
There is no alteration in prices.
Liverpool Corn Market. Sept. loth. At last
Tuesday ‘s market there was an advance of 2d per
70 lbs on the finer qualities of wheat, and Id. to
1 l-2d per 44 lbs. on oats, but witli only a mode
rate demand for either. Tiie market has since
been more animated, and considerable purchases
have been made of the superior descriptions of
both articles, as well by speculators as dealers, and
a further improvement in value of 2d to 3d per
bushel on w r heat, and fully Id per 45 lbs on oats
lias been realized. Irish new wheat arrives in
small quantities, and meets ready sales at last quo
tations. Os English new the supply is more lim
ited, and prices are 2d to 3d per 70 lbs. dearer.—
Beans and peas have been extremely dull of sal
at a reduction of 2s to 3s per quarter on the forn
er, and Is to 2s on the latter. Indian corn goc
off in small quantities at former rates. In oat
meal there have been some considerabe purchase
made on speculation at a small increase in value.
Bonded wheat has again excited attention, some
large parcels having been disposed of on Satur
day from 5s 6d to 5s 9d per 70 lbs. In Flour, under
lock, little business has been transacted.
Clasgow Cotton Market, Sept. 12.—The sales
of this week amount tc 802 bales, as follow s: 21
Sea Islands, 13£d good; 343 bow r eds, 5 l-4d mid
dling 6 l-2d fair 6 3-6d middling, 7 l-4d fair,
