TUESDAY MORNING MARCH 3.
Ourselves—Advertisers.
Circulation 6,000 Copies!
However we msy be charged or suspected, we
do not desire to be considered as pulling our press
in the fallowing remarks. Be that as it may,
however, it is perfectly legitimate for an Editor
to use all honorable means to increase the patron
age of his paper, or to extend its circulation. —
Hence we feel no delicacy in saying through our
columns, what we would say to any gentleman
in private conversation, in relation to the circula
tion of our paper, which we are proud to say is
now daily increasing;—whether for good or for
evil, the future alone can develope. It is always
an important desideratum, to advertisers particu
larly, to give their patronage to that paper, which
secures the probability of its being read by the
greatest number of persons. The object is two
fold—the article advertised is known more gen
erally, and in proportion as the circulation of the
paper is greater than another, in the same ratio is
the advertiser benefitted—and the cost is no great
er in our paper than one that does not circulate
over five hundred copies. We consider there
fore, that we are but serving the cause of Adver
tisers generally, and promoting our own interest
and the usefulness of our journal, in saying that
we now circulate every week upwards of
6,000
copies of the Chronicle & Sentinel. We need
not therefore offer any suggestions beyond this to
advertisers, of the important advantages resulting
to them, from advertising in this paper over any
other in the State and perhaps in the South.

The Charlestonians are’ amusing themselves
with views of this extraordinary production of
the Emerald Isle, who is represented as being se
ven feet 2 inches high, of perfect form and sym
metry.
Balloon] Ascension.
By an advertisement in this morning’s paper,
it will be seen that Mr. Hobart, the Aeronaut,
proposes to make an ascension from this city on
the 27th inst., in a Balloon es extraordinary di
mensions.
Congress.
The proceedings of this body continue to he Os
a very .uninteresting character. At our last advi
ces, the Senate was engaged on the report with
regard to the assumption of State debts, and i|
was apparent that several Senators were desir
ous to deliver speeches. How long this topic
will occupy their attention, it is impossible to
calculate with any degree of certainty. Mr.
B uchannan had introduced a measure for the en
largement of the specie circulation, by excluding
all bills of small denominations. How far the
Senator’s project extends, we have not yet seen.
But we should suppose in these days of suspen
sions and shin plasters, it would require all the
ingenuity of the honorable gentleman to enlarge
greatly the circulation of specie. Mr. Webster
had introduced various memorials, asking Con
gross to pass a general Bankrupt law, which he !
is said to have prefaced with some very effective
and pertinent remarks in favof of the prayer of
the memorialists.
In the House, the New Jersey question seems I
to engross the greatest -port ion of their attention |
and much debate has been elicited on various mo- j
lions suggested by the committee to whom the ■
matter was referred. When the procedings of'
either House assume a character of more decided
interest, we shall give them more in detail.
Who are the Democrats?—The shallowness
of the pretext of identity between the modern loco
focos and the democrats of the Jefferson school
and limes, is well exposed by the veteran Whig,
General Root, in a late speech in the New York
Senate. We give a short extract;
“The election of Thomas Jefferson is universal
ly recognized as a landmark of Democracy. It
was the overthrow of the justly termed Federal
Reign of Terror in 1798-9 Now, sir, I perceive
that three of the electors of President who then
cast the vote of this state for Jefferson still survive,
(Pierre Van Cortland*, James Burt and John
Woodworth) and need I say they are all Whigs?
Os the Republican Senators of that year who
elected these Electors of President hut two sur
vive, and they are still Democrats in the right
sense—still opposed to the encroachment of I !xe
cutive Power— still Democratic Whigs /
[General Root proceeded to enumerate the sur- |
viving Democratic Members of the Assembly of
1800 who elected the Jefferson electors of that
year—seven in number —six of them Democratic
Whigs, and one said by Mr. Young to be a
supporter of Martin Van Buren. He concluded.]
“The last of the number is Erastus Root of Del
aware—and here I am!”

Front Texas.
By the arrival of the steam ship Columbia, |
Capt. Windlc, we have received Houston and !
Galveston papers to the 23d inst. The Gal es
ion Gazette of the 22d says, that the steamboat \
Trinity has just returned from a trip up the Tri- 1
nily river. She went as high as Alabama, 500 j
miles, and found the navigation uninterrupted.
The new tariff goes into operation on the Ist |
May next. The following abstract of the bill will j
he found of interest to those engaged in commerce ;
with Texas :
The rate of duty established is 15 per cent, ad t
valorem on all goods, wares and merchandise im- •
ported, except spirituous liquors, wines and other i
distilled spirits, which pay a specific duly, not !
varying materially from the present tariff. !
French wines in cases, under the new tariff, will
pay a duty of 10 percent, and valorem; in caks
10 cts per gallon. Cider and malt liquors 10 per
ct.ad valorem. Books free; and each emigrant *
entitled to introduce, free from duly, farming :
utensils and furniture, in use, to the value of

All invoices of goods, wares or merchandise
imported into the republic, when from a place or
port where 'Pezas has a consular agent, must !
have a consular certificate attached to them, dc-
Haring that the prices affixed to such goods
wares or merchandise are the just and current
prices of them on that day. Where there does
not exist a consular agent of the republic, all in- ;
voices must have attached a certificate of two re- ;
putable merchants, (with a certificate of a judge i
or notary public as to their respectable standing.) |
cerufmg the same facts as to prices.
The collector, when he is of opinion that there
has been collusion or fraud, or when invoices are i
unaccompanied by proper certificates, must up !
point two merchants as appraisers, end the duly 1

mcnl. The collectors arc authorised to appoint
a sufficient number of inspectors for the protec

venue. Duties to lie paid in cash. Goods, wares
and merchandise may be deposited in the public

The Banks of New York.
The New York Express says.
“There has been no subject before the legis
lature fur a long lime, that will meet with so
hearty a response as that introduced by Mr. Law
rence, to regulate the Bills of the various Banks
of this State, and to provide for their redemption
in this city. The main features of this Bill is,
that all Banks in the First, Second and Third
Districts, or what may he more properly termed
River Counties, shall redeem their Bills in this
city at par—and the Bills in all other parts of
the State shall lie redeemed at $ per cent. To
accomplish this object, the Safely Fund, now’
amounting to eight, hundred thousand dollars
is to be devoted, and all the Banks are to contri
bute a further sum of three per cent, on all their
capitals, to carry into effect this most desirable
object. The plan strikes us as exceedingly judi
cious, and such a plan as can not only he carried
into effect, but that will be very advantageous to
the banks. The Safely Fund now amounts to
eight hundred thousand dollars. The capital of
the “ Chartered” Banks in the Stale is $36,081,-
460.
From the New York Star of the 27 th ult.
f*orth Eastern Frontier.
Her Majesty’s ship, the Vestal, has arrived at
Halifax, bringing intelligence that other ships of
war are expected, with troops and ammunition
for the use of the Provinces. The New Bruns
wick Courier states that orders have been coun
termanded for the sailing of the 20lh Regiment
of Fusileersto India, and the Courier also states :
“We are further informed, on good authority,
that th ? erection of barracks at Woodstock, in
this Province, for accommodation of a large mili
tary force, has been determined upon, and the
work is to commence immediately.”
On these events the Boston Atlas says:
‘St is a notorious fact that the whole British |
j side of the lino is being fast put in a slate of
• warlike preparation.—Two forts have been re-
I cently erected, commanding tne St. Lawrence,
the St. Johns, the St. Fiancis, and the military
road of the State of Maine. These forts are
now garrisoned with three hundred and fifty
men, instead of twenty-five as stated by Sir John
1 Harvey. Our own side utterly defenceless—our
| defences worse than useless. What, then, is
j our Government doing? Is it any nearer to a
i settlement of the vexed question of the boundary
I than it has been ? What can be expected to be
gained by farther delay ? By us certainly nothing.
It is high time that something definite was done
by our Government, either towards the adjust
ment of their boundary question, or, at least, to
wards putting our frontier in a state of defence.
The Eastport Sentinel remarks with some truth :
—‘After treating the claims of Maine with so
much neglect, it is due from the General Govern
ment to place her in an immediate stale of de
fence, so that if worse should come worse, she
may not he wholly unprepared to defend what
territory she has lell.’
The remark will apply to the whole extent of
our frontier.”
Flour. —The Baltimore American of Satur

which 20.000 were Howard street. T».e store

; llefeat and Dispersion of the Federal

The schr. Frederick Arnel arrived in port ves

and we are indebted to the politeness of Captain
I Hughes, for the Colorado Gazette of the Blh
| inst., from which we extract the following an-
I nouncemen* of :he defeat and d spersion of the
' Mexican Federalists. Humors to the same ef
i feci, said to ha«e come from Mexican ports, ha*c

j attempted revolution has failed.
'•We slop the press to announce, that ten or
twelve Americans Ute from the Federal army,
have arrived m Victoria. They state that the
j Centralists threw a strong reinforcement into
j Monterey just before the Federalists arrived be
fore it—whereupon the latter backed out without
niakiijg an attempt upon the town. The Cen
tral troops pursued them, and an engagement
between the cavalry of both parties took place, in
which the Federalists were defeated, and their
j whole army dispersed. Cine portion, some 250
Mexicans a id 50 Americans, were in arms on
this side of the Rio Grande; the rest have scal

As to the manner, that cannot he reported,

WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 4.
i
The Clay Dinner.
From the Richmond Compiler, wo extrart a
short sketch of the splendid Dinner given by the
citizens of Richmond to Mr. Clay, which is said
by the Editor, to have been the greatest affair of
the kind ever seen in that city ; more than one
thousand persons sat down to the table, at which
the Hon. B. Watkins Leigh, presided, assisted
by several distinguished gentlemen as Vice Pre
sidents.
We must on this occasion, content ourselves
with the sketch of Mr. Clay’s speech in reply to
the sentiment delivered by the President.
Many other sentiments were drunk, which call
! ed forth speeches from various gentlemen, among
whom, was one from that distinguished patriot
and son of Virginia, the Hon. John Tyler.
Mr. Leigh made some prefatory remarks, in
the happiest vein, before raadmg each of the
three toasts, which preceded that to Mr. Clay.
When he came to that, he indulged in a few
sentences of the most chaste and pathetic elo
quence we have evi r listener, to—he touched the
lenderrst chords of the heart, and made the tears
to chase each other down many a manly clirek.
He spoke of the object of Mr. Clay’s visit, his
present political relations, his past career, and of
J (he brief space on which in all human probability
i wc could calculate upon his services or his exis
■ tence; but pointed to him as a faithful sentinel of
J the people, one on whom we might rely so long
I as God spared him, for a vigilant and efficient
: guardianship of the rights and liberties of the
people. He dre.v an admirable moral from Mr.
Clay’s life, which he held up to the emulation of
the youth of our country.
Mr. Clay responded in the ablest and most el
oquent manner. Wc know not what deg-ee of
comparison to use in speaking of his effort. It
is the first lime we ever heard him, and wc can
not therefore compare it with any other of his ef
forts. But it is unnecessary at this day in speak
ing of Henry Clay, to use comparisons at all.
His name is enough. In commencing his speech,
he added to the sensibilities of the company al
ready so deeply excited oy Mr. Leigh. He drew
a picture of himself when he left Richmond, a
lank lean youth of twenty, with sandy hair and
ruddy complexion,fatherless, homeless friendless
and penny less, to seek his fortunes in the “far
West.” He gave a vivid and hurried glance at
the changes which had since taken place, and
descried his return at the age of three score and
upwards, once more to look upon the hills o’er
which his youthful step had borne him, and
again to drink at those f« untains, where in boy
hood he had so often slaked his thirst. The deep
pathos with which he descritied the feelings in
spired by his visit—and with which he alluded to
a few companions of his youth still remaining,
with furrowed checks, bended bodies and heads
silvered o’er with age, surpassed any thing we ev
er heard, and affected the audience greatly.
After he had completed this branch of his
speech, on to political topics. He en
tered into an argument, which we may be per
mitted to style most able, to shew that the ten
dency of the Federal Government, under the pre
sent and preceding Administrations was to a con
centration of power in the Executive, and the
subjection of the Legislative and Judicial De
partments to bis will and behests. Mr. C. spoke
of General Harrison, whom he eulogised highly,
and animadverted on various political matters,
and upon the conduct of men in power. He
spoke for an hour and a half, we suppose ; and
concluded with a sentiment.
Mr. (’lay’s Speech called forth the most enlhu
j siastic demonstrations of applause. Never was
1 audience more enraptured with a speaker.
The Richmond Whig says—
•‘The Dinner went off in the finest style pos
sible. There were between a thousand and fif
teen hundred subscribers, from every quarter of
Virginia. Mr. Clay delivered a most brilliant and
captivating address. For an hour and a half the
fail of a pin might he heard throughout the spa
cious ball, except when the hursts of rapturous
; applause, which were frequent and long contin-
I ued, drowned every thing. It was. all in a’.l the
greatest dinner and the greatest speech ever had
or heard within the limits of the t 'orporation o.
Richmond. Besides Mr. Clay. Mr. Wise, Mr.
Bolts, Mr. Leigh, Mr. McFarland Mr. Wynd
ham Robertson, Mr. Lyons, Mr. Patton, and Mr.
W. B. Archer, addressed the company in elo
quent strains.
“ All who were present will rememl>er it as an
epoch in their lives, and, in speaking to their
children of great national events, say they hap
pened before or after the Clay dinner.”
Pennsylvania Banks.
The Philadelphia Enquirer of the 28lh ult
soys:—“The Bill to coerce specie payments by
the Banks, was ordered to l>e transcribed for a
third reading, in the Senate, on Wednesday last.
This measure, says the Harrisburg Telegraph,
provides for an immediate resumption upon its
becoming a law, and should any Bank refuse, or
hereafter at any time refuse to pay specie for its
notes, the Governor is to issue his proclamation
declaring the charter forfeited ; and to appoint
t,uee commissioners to take possession of it and
settle up its business after thirty days—provided
the bank does not appoint trustees for that pur
pose previously. The bill also makes it a peni
tentiary offence for the officers of any hank that
shall continue to do business after refusing to pay
specie for their notes.
The Telegraph adds: “Wc expect the bill
will pass finally to-day, and he sent back to the
House for their concurrence, it being entirely dif
ferent from the bill that passed that body.”

grone, ami M. Emmanui l Durand, who arc enga
ged in exploring the Christian antiquities of
Greece, have lately traversed Thessaly, ami ascen
ded to themeleors. The meteors is a name given to
some famous Thessalian convents, reared on the
very peaks of inaccessible rocks, one hundred '
and eighty feet in height. They are reached by
means of open nets drawn up by a cable and cap
stain. M. Pouqucville and All Pasha of Janina,
remained at the has *. of these gigantic needles, un
willing to attempt the airy path of ascension.
The principal and most elevated of these monas
teries —that which has the name of Meteor par
excellence —possesses a refectory, cellar, and kitch
en, three churches, and a chapel.
Tide ami Current Water Wheel. —F* .
11. Bouthworth, a young mechanic, has invented |
a wheel for using water power, which he names -
a Tide and Current Water Whet/, It is de- 1
signed to he placed in an open stream, and to |
work by the natural force of the current, without ]
an artificial head of water. It is composed of a
drum attached to a perpendicular shaft and sur
rounded by swinging buckets connected by sli
ding bars. These so work as that the current
running on one sale of the wheel iqa'iis the buck
ets on the other side, producing action and re
action, with an accumulation sufficient to move
flouring mills and all machinery of that class.—
Like most useful inventors, Mr. South worth is
without the means of making a practical experi
ment effectually to test the value of his inven
tion. If successful, it must prove of great use

THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 6.
Mr. Sl«uly*s Hpecch.—Abolition* ,
The very excellent speech which this gentle- ,
man delivered some lime mace on the subject ol (
Abolition petitions, in reply to Mr. Wallerson (
from Tennessee, who had in the course of his re- (
marks endeavored to fix upon the Whigs of the |
North all the sins of Abolition, and thereby re- ,
lieve the Administration parly from any portion j ,
of the offence against the peace of the Booth,
we had designed to publish, hut it* length for
bids, ut least for the present. In defending the j
Whigs, however, Mr Stanly did not pretend to ;
assert, hut that some were obnoxious to the 1
charge ; but in defending the great body of the
party, he proved most conclusively, as well by
documentary evidence as the conduct of men on
the floor of Congress, that the Administration
parly were equally obnoxious to tne charge of
being Abolitionists as the Whigs. He asserted
and proved most satisfactorily to any unprejudi
ced mind that the Abolitionists belong to no party
particularly, hut that there were Administration
men and Whigs both to Ik* found in the ranks of
the Abolitionists. This is the true sli!e of the
case, and every man who bus travelled through
• the Northern and Eastern States knows this to
be the fart For our part we have always felt it
our duty to denounce Abolitionists, no matter to
what party they belonged, and in doing so we
have never felt justified, by facts, in charging one
party with l»eing more infected with these danger
ous doctrines than another. Unfortunately, I
however, for the dissemination of correct infor
mation, this course has not been ol'served by
many who have charge of the press at tl*e
South, and particularly in Georgia. We
have witnessed with feelings of melan
choly, the prostitution of the dignity of the press,
in treating of this subject. There are a few hon
orable exceptions among the Van Buren presses
• in the South, (we know of none in Georgia,)
J who have on this as almost all other subjects,
1 deported themselves as became the organs of
Freemen. But the majority, we confess and con
fess with shame, persist, regardless of the abun
dant evidence which is daily spread on their la- i
hies, in endeavoring to make the impression on j
j the minds of their readers, that the Abolitionists
1 are exclusively confined to the ranks of the j
Whigs. We have forborn to notice these efforts
j to produce an erroneous impression on the minds
of the unsuspecting portion ot the people, whose
opportunities of obtaining facts are not as great as
those who seek to deceive them, with the hope that
a sense of justice, if a regard for the dignified and
imp rlai t station which they occupy as conductors
of public journals did not exercise a proper influ
ence, would eventually induce them to pursue that
course, which is sustained by truth. But we
have l>ecn disappointed. And lest our silence,
might be construed into an acquiescence in the
truth of what they assort, we have endeavored
in this short article t* disabuse the public mind.
For the large majority of the abolitionists, we
(feel more of pity than con empt. It is only
against the leaders of the deluded many that we
; have ever directed our censures. They merit all
that has ever been said of them ; —but that por.
tion of them who are ignorant of the true slate
, of those whom, in the excess of their sympathies,
j they would relieve, akhouch censurable for uni
j ling with designing and base men, arc neverthe
less much less censurable than their leaders.—
They are prompted by the noblest feelings of our
nature, the wi.-h to relieve human misery ; but
unfortunately in this they are misled. Tne cause
is obvious : they are not infoimed of the farts;
l hcy only hear one side of the question, and that
is higldy distorted and perverted. They have
not at their command correct information, nor is
it possible, in the present state of allairs, for them
l>e supplied.
Washington National Monument Society.
j By a report of the Treasurer, exhibiting the
state of the funds of this Society on the 16th of
October last, ii appears that she whole amount
of the funds received by the Society since its or
! ganization in 1834. up to October, 1539, is $34,-
j 208.52 ; of which $33,105,64 has been expended
' in Pennsylvania and Washington City stocks,
i The remainder, except $174.56, now on deposits
| in Bunk, has been consumed in incidental cx
j ponses, or remains on hand in unavailable, un
j current and counterfeit Bank notes; the two lat
j ter of which amount to SIB.OO.
We confess that we look with feelings of mel
ancholy rather than pride upon this report, when
we reflect upon the time, six years nrally, which
has been consumed in raising this contemptible
sum. It is true the fame of Washington needs
no such monument to |K*rpcluale it to the very .
latest civilized man, in whose bosom the vestal
flame of Liberty finds a congenial altar. But
the rearing a monument worthy the name of the
“ Father of his Country,” would he a most noble
monument of the gratitude of a free people, which
will, we fear, lov.se much of its dazzling brillian
cy- by the lime required to collect a sufficient sum
for its structure.

The Eastern Mail Auain.—Extract of a
letter to the Editor of the Baltimore Patriot dated
Waviiixerox, February.
I learn from a correct source that the Commit
tee from the Ballim re and Philadelphia Itailroad
Company, had a meeting t'Mlay with the Post-
Master General, and that they had agreed upon
all points as to a restoration of the mail upon their
road, except one, of seeming trifling importance
to the Company. It is this—the !)• putmrnt
claims the right of changing the schedule ms to
the time ot departure—which is resolutely object
ed to by the Company. This is regarded a» jl»-
solutely necessary, so that a romph te connect!' n

were told the Post Mas er General had no inten
tion, nor did he think it probable, that any altera
tion would lie made. Lpm this, point, h »wc\er,

trad to curvy the mail] I stiil hope they will
yield llie point arid conic into llw measure—or
it this is not done, that all further negotiation
may be brought at once to an end. that the public
and all parties concerned may know what to do
and art accordingly.

‘•The work goes bravely on.”
It is impossible for you to conceive the excited
i stale of public feeling, and the rapidly increasing
i strength in the Empire Male of “the » hi Hero of
j Tippecanoe.” The Whigs of every city and
' village are wide awake, determined, in the lan
! guage of Scottish song, “To Do. or Die.” They
: of ’76 battled against a foreign foe; the ‘more
| modern Whigs’* have declared “uncompromising
hostility” to domestic usurpation. We confide,
like our gallant ancestors, in the justice of our
cause, and firmly iieiieve that Heaven will aid us
in the coming contest.
The present condition of this great commer
cial city is indeed distressing. 'The man who
has seen Sew York in the full tide of her pros
perity, when her vessels were crowded with mer
chandize from every clime—when her streets
were thronged with buyers and sellers—when
trade was brisk through all her channels, cannot

The Hon. W. C. Hives, of Va.. holds this elo
quent and forcible language in a letter to a friend:
“Regarding Gen Harrison, for reasons I have
mentioned, as the true Republican Candida e lor
the Presidency of the two now presented to the
choice of the country, I shall unhesitatingly give
him my suuport 1 shall do so with the more
cheerfulness because, while best consulting there
by, as I honestly believe, those great Republican
principles which I have ever considered lobe inse
parably united win the happiness ot my country.
I shall assist to confer its highest meed on an
eminent citizen who has rendered it the most sig
nal and im{>ortant services at a time, when to serve
meant something far other than merely to receive
the emoluments of office—on one who. having
successively enjoyed the c >n fide nee of Washing
ton. Jetferson and Madison, would be naturally
prompted to emulate their high example—who,
in all the various and delicate trusts he bus held,
has ever shown that he preferred his country to
himself, and has retired from all amid the numer
ous and alluring temptations they presented to
private gain, with clean hands and unsuspected
honor, neither guilty *»f infidelity himself, nor
winking at it in others—and who now in the
honorable retirement of private life, combining
the ennobling pursuits of the agricultural, the
1 scholar, and the patriot citizen, is emphatically
one of the people, knowing how to appreciate
their interests, as well as to maintain and defend
their rights.
I cannot doubt that the principles we have held
in common will have brought ns to a conclusion;
but whether this should be the case or not. you
