AUGUSTA.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 19.
Fire.
The alarm of fire last night between 9 and M
o’clock, proceeded from the kitchen, a small
wooden tenement, of Mr. Lewis Leon, near the
comer of Bridge Row and Reynold street, which
at first threatened to extend to the adjacent build
ings, some of which were wood, but the timely
arrival of the engines confined it to the building
in which it originated. Loss very trifling.
Mamxchusktts—The Senate on Thursday
elected F. P. Robinson President, in'place of
Mr. Leland, who had resigned.
The House at 12 o’clock joined the Senate,
and went into convention for ths purpose of fill
ing vacancies, with the following restilt, so far
as die proceedings are published in the Boston
evening papers.
The District of Essex had fire vacancies,
which were filled by the election of five Loco
focos, by an average majority of about seven
votes over the Whig candidates. There were
also four vacancies, which were filled by the
choice of that number of Locofocos, by majori
ties varying from one to four. The Abolition
ists voted for the Democrats. It appears by the
report of the Joint Committee for counting votes
for Governor, &c., that the
Whole number of votes were 117,892
Marcus Morton, 56,491
Jolm Davis . 54,939
Samuel E. Sewell 6,382
F. Jackson 37
William Jackson 34
Fifty-nine other candidates were voted for,
for Governor.
Whole number of votes for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, 117,724.
Henry H. Childs 56,228
George Hull 54,992
William Jackson (r,39J
John Pierpont .. .. 39
Fifty-three other candidates were voted for,
for Lieutenant Governor.
There is now very little doubt that Marcus
Morton will be elected Governor ot Massachu
setts, as there will be a clear Locofoco majority
in the Legislature. It depends on only one con
tingeney. If the House of Representatives
should choose to send the names of Governor
Davis and Mr. Sewell, the Abolitionist, or that,
of Mr. Jackson, who only received 37 vote
leaving out that of Mr. Morton, the latter would
be defeated. This, we have, no idea the Whigs
will do.
try We learn from the Nashville papers that
in the case of the State of Tennessee vs. Thos.
L. Budd, who was sentenced to the penitentiary
for making false entries on the books of the
Union Bank, the decision of the criminal court
was reversed by the supreme court, which pro
nounced that clause of the charter under which
he was convicted, unconstitutional.
The lower house of the Legislature of Penn
sylvania have passed a resolution, byaunanim
ous vote, that no member or officer of that body
shall be entitled to receive any pay for any day
on which he shall fail to attend the House; and
that no member or officer shall receive anj" pay
when absent, except he be in the performance ol
duties required by the House.
The Herald published at Mills Point, Ky.,
says that clay has been found in that section of
the State suitable for the manufacture of Queens
ware of an excellent quality. A gentleman

Queensware can be produced from it.
Prissident Houston. —The President ol
Texas is, in an article in the Texas Times, ac
cused of corresponding clandestinely with Mex’-
ieo, of misappropriating the public funjis, of
purloining sundry acts of the legislature, among
others, one appropriating 100,000 acres of land
to the use of the Santa Fe prisoners, and of
. many other equally improper acts.
Capital Punishment in New Hampshire.—
The bill to abolish capital punishment, that was
introduced before the legislature of New Hamji
shire, p rad the House, but failed in the Senate.
The rep. nt of its abolition in that StaXe, which
has been circulated, is incorrect.
Delaware.—This is one of the States whose
financial condition, as it respects debt, has been
preserved sound through all the troubles and
temptations of past years. Gov. Cooper in his
recent message to the Legislature says:
“ Our public finances are still free from em
barrassment, our surplus revenue remains un
diminished, and every demand which has been
made in the meantime upon the Treasury of the
State has been promptly , met and discharged.
Our currency, though reduced, is still perfectly'
sound; our credit continues unimpaired, and
no imputation or suspicion of political fraud or
public dishonor rests upon the fair fame of our
commonwealth—and evety consideration con
spires to prove that the people of our State, as
tar as their condition is affected by the action of
their own immediate government", are still pre
eminently prosperous and happy.”
The Exchequer.
The Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Patriot, after commenting upon the little
favor with which the President's plan is receiv
ed even by the “gaura,” says:
“The friends of the President, who haunt the
lobbies, and lounge about the galleries, know
not what to make of the conduct of the Guard,
in opposing the specific plan of the Exchequer
recommended by the President himself. 1 hey
were in favor of it because Mr. Tyler recom
mended it: and they are perfectly astounded at
finding the President’s own peculiar and fa vorite
measure rejected by his friends—by Messrs.
Cushing and Wise; —and even by' Mr. Proffit,
(who, being possessed of less intellect than ei
ther of the others, generally swallows whatever
is proposed.) They know not how they can go
before the people with President Tyler’s mea
sure, when the fact is staring in the face of the
whole country, that the Executive, plan is re
pudiated REJECTED THRUST ASIDE BV THE
VERY SMALL CORPS WHO SUPPORT THE PRESI
DENT.
The more astute attribute this opposition of
the Guard against the Executive scheme to their
jealousy and hatred of the Secretary' of State,
from whom the scheme is known to have ori
ginated. They oppose it because it is his.—
They regard him. with all his high intellectual
powers, as a millstone around their necks: and
would think it a most lucky riddance to have
him off, on any terms.
Cushing wishes him to go, because so long as
Mr. Websterremains in the Cabinet, he can ne
ver reach the object of his ambition —v place
in the Cabinet—which he can never hope to
obtain but under the present rule of faction.
Wise wishes him to go, because he always
hated him, personally and politically, with as
much rancor as ever one politician can feel to
wards another.
At any rate, the Executive scheme is resisted,
and there does not appear strength enough a
mong its friends to bring it up even for considcr
ation. Not one man has ventured to commit
himself so far as to asZ: for its consideration.—
On the contrary, all that Mr. ‘lushing and the
rest of the peculiar friends of the President re
quest is, that their substiiote for the President'-
plan may be considered.

The Quintuple Treaty——African Slave
Trade.
The President of the United States has sent
a Message to the Senate in compliance with a
resolution adopted by that body on the 27th De
cember last to this effect:
''Resolved. That the President be requested
to inform the Senate if com patible with the pub
lic interest, whether the quintuple treaty for the
suppression of the slave trade has been com
municated to the Government of the United
States in any form whatever? And, if so, by'
whom ? tor what purpose ? and what answer
may liave been returned to such communica
tion? Also, to communicate to the Senate all
the information which may have been received
by the Government of the United States going
to show that ‘the course which this Government
might take in relation to said treaty has excited no
email degree of attention and-discussittnin Europe.’
Also, to inform the Senate how far the 'warm
animadversions' and the 'great poliiirnleXritemcnf
which this treaty has caused in Europe have
any' application or reference to the United States.
Also, to inform the Senate what danger there
was that ‘the lairs c.iidobligations' of the United
States in relation to the suppression of the slave
trade would be ‘executed by others’ if we did not
‘remove the pretext and motivefor violating ourflag
and executing our laws' by' entering into the
stipulations for the African squadron and the re
monstrating embassies which are contained in
the Bth and 9th articles of the late British treaty.
Also, that the President be requested to com
municate to the Senate all the correspondence
with our Ministers abroad relating to the fore
going points of inquiry. Also, that the Presi
dent be requested to communicate to the Senate
all such information upon the negotiation of the
African squadron articles as will show the ori
gin of such articles and the history and progress
of their formation.”
The Message states that no application has
been made to this Government to become a party
to die Quintuple Treaty. As for the “attention
and discussion in. Europe,” the “great political ex
citement” axiA“warm animadversions' concerning
which inquiry is made, the President quotes
from the Message of the 9th of August last in
iwhich the KxprassKms ocwtr,
'lng on thc4nitismlssidn ol The trdaty with
land to the Senate, and says—“ltis not'perceiv
ed how the accuracy of this general statement
can be doubted by those who are acquainted
with the debates of public bodies in Europe, the
productions of the press, and the other modes by
which public opinion is manifested in an en
lightened age,” As it would be improper in the
Executive to go into any discussion or argu
ment upon such a subject with the Senate, the
President declines any' further remarks upon
this part of the inquiry'.
From that partot the Message referring to the
danger that our laws against the Slave Trade
might be executed by others if we did not enter
into stipulations for the A Rican Squadron, we
quote the following:
Vessels of the United States found engaged
in the African slave trade are guilty of piracy'
under the acts of Congress, ft is difficult to say
that such vessels can claim any interference of
the Government in their behalf, into whosoever
hands they may' happen to fall, any' more than
vessels which should turn general pirates. No
torious African slavers cannot claim the protec
tion of the American character, inasmuch as
they are acting in direct violation of the laws of
their country, and stand denounced by those
laws as pirates. In ease of the seizure of such
a vessel by a foreign cruiser, and of her being
brought into a port of the U- States, what is to
be done with her? Sltall she be libelled, prose
cuted, and condemned, as if arrested bya cruis
er ofthe United States? If this is to be done it
is clear that the agency of a foreign Power has
been instrumental in executing the laws of the .
United States. Or, on the other hand, is the
vessel, with all her offences flagrant upon her,
to be released, on account of the agency by
which she was seized, discharged of all penal
ties, and left at liberty to renew her illegal and
nefarious traffic?
ft appeared to me that the best if nol the only
mode of avoiding these and other difficulties,
was by adopting such a provision as it contain
ed in the late treaty' with England.
The Treaty contains no stipulations for “re
monstrating embassies,” All that the Treaty
provides for in this respect is contained in the
ninth article in these words:
“The parties to this treaty' agree that they will
lutite in allbecoming representations and remon
strances, with any and all Powers within whose
dominions such markets [tor African slaves]
are allowed to exist, and that they will urge up
on all such powers the propriety and duty ol
closing such markets effectually at once andfor
ever.”
The President does not deem it consistent with
the public interest to communicate all the cor
respondence with our Minister-abroad relating
to the foregoing points Os inquiry’,
W ith respect to the origin ofthe articles rela
ting to the African Squadron, it is stated that
they were proposed to the British Minister by
the" Secretary of State, under the President’s ex
press sanction; that they were acceded to by
Lord Ashburton; and they have since been rati
fied by both Governments.
The President takes this occasion to make
the following remarks, which are not without a
pertinent ajiplication t
It always gives me sincere pleasure to com
municate to both Houses of Congress anything
in my power which may aid them in the dis
charge of their high duties, and which the pub
lic interest docs not require to be withheld. In
transmitting the late treaty to the Seriate, every
thing was caused to accompany it which it was
supposed could enlighten the j ndgment of the
Senate upon its various provisions. The views
of the Executive, in agreeing to the eighth and
ninth articles, were fully expressed; and pend
ing the discussion in the Senate, every call tor
further information was promptly complied
will), and nothing kept back which the Senate
desired. Upon this information, and upon its
own knowledge of the subject, the Senate made
up and pronounced its judgment upon its own
high responsibility; and, as the result of that
judgment, the treaty' was ratified, as the journal
shows, by' a vote of thirty-nine to nine. The
treaty has thus become the law of the land, by
the express advice of the Senate, given in the
most solemn manner known to its proceedings.
In conclusion, I hope I may' be permitted to
observe that I have, out of a profound respect
for the Senate, been induced to make this com
munication in answer to inquiries, some of
which at least are believed to be without prece
dent in the history of the relations between that
body and the Executive Department. These
inquiries were particularly unexpected to me,
at the present moment. As I have been so for
tunate as to find my own views of the expedien-
■ cy of ratifying the late treaty with England con
firmed by a vote of somewhat more that four
fifths of the Senators present, I have hitherto
flattered myself that the motives which infiuen-
1 ced my conduct hail been frilly appreciated bv
those who advised and approved it: and that if
a necessity should ever arise for any' special
explanation or defence in regard to those rno-
■ lives, it could scarcely be in that assembly it
self.

Relief to. the States.
In considering the proposition of Mr. Cost
Johnson for the reliefofthe States, itis to be re
’ membered that the question involved is one sim
ply of,expediency as to the disposal of a large
property ownea by the States in common, The
right of the States to the Public Lands being re
cognised, it becomesa legitimate subject of dis
cussion how that vast fund shall be administer
ed so as to produce the most salutary results.
Ait annual distribution of the pioceeds of sales
would do something', and it would do enough if
dhe States were free from debt. But in the pres
ent exigency we arc driven to inquire for some
more immediate and general realization of tne
immense property, which, though intrinsically
valuable, will not yield money in the naarketex
cept-by the gradual process of annual scales in
nr iponion to the spread of settlements in the
West.
Now a National stock, based on the Public
Lands. wiM effect the immediate realization of
that property , so much to be desired; it will an

value of the security—The general Government'

would be exercising tin -amc function in the
case of an issue of N ational stock. The latter
mode of administering the benefits of the fund
is to be preferred, because it would be jgu-t* ef

the crisis; but the i litn iple implied is the s..me.

Our readers have already been made familiar
through a brief notice in our Congressional re
ports ol Mr. Botts’s proceeding in reference to
the prtposed impeachment of President Tyler ;
and they were informed that the House,
by a vote of 127 to 83, refused to sustain Mr.
B.’s proposition. The specifications read by'
Mr. Botts, on f;"senting the subject to the
House, were as follows:
“1 do impeach John Ty ler, Vice President,
acting as President of the United States, of the
following high crimes ant! misdemeanors :
“Ist. 1 charge him witli gross usurpation of
power and violation of law in attempting to
exercise controlling influence over the account
ing officers ot the Treasury Department, by or
dering the payment bf accounts of long stand
ing that had been by them rejected for want of
legal authority to pay. and threatening them
with expulsion from office unless his orders
were obey'ed; by' virtue of which threat thous
ands were drawn from the public Treasury
without the authority of law.
“2d. I charge him with a wicked and corrupt
abuse of the power of appoihtident to and re
moval from office: First, in displacing those
who were competent and faithful in the dis
charge of their public duties, only because they
were supposed to entertain a political preference
for anotner; and secondly, in bestowing them on
creatures of his own will, alike regardless of
die public welfare and his duty to the cotmtry.
“3d. I charge him with the high crime . and
misdemeanor of aiding to exeite a disorganiz
ing and revolutionary spirit in the country, by'
placing on the records of the Slate Department
his objections to a law as- carrying no constitu
tional obligation with it; whereby the-several
States of the Union were invited to disregard
and disobey a law of Congress which he him
self had sanetidned and sworn to see faithfully
executed; from which nothing but disorder, con
fusion, and anarchy'can follow
“4th. I charge him of being guilty of a high
misdemeanor in retaining men in office for
months alter they have been rejected by the Se
nate as unworthy, incompetent, and unfaithful,
wiffi axi ptfoiid will, and
t»®l indiilerAieWto foe-public nfterflEtw—
“slh. I charge him with the hi'dlf crime and
misdemeanor of withholding his assent to laws
indispensable to the just operations of Govern
ment whichinvolved no constitutional difficulty
on-his jiart, of depriving the Government ol'all
legal means of revenue, and assuming to him
self the whole power of taxation, arid ot collect
ing duties ot the people without the authority or
sanction ot law.
“6th. I charge him with an arbitrary, despotic
and corrup abuse ot the veto power, to gratify
his personal and political resentments against
the Senate of the United States for a constitu
tional exercise of their prerogative in the rejec
tion of bis nominees to office, with such evident
marks of inconsistency and duplicity as leave
no room, to doubt his disreganl of the interests
of the people and his duty' to the country.
“7th. I charge him with gross official miscon
duct, in having been guilty of a shameless du
plicity, equivocation, and falsehood with his
late Cabinet and Congress, which Jed to idle le
gislation and useless public expense, and by
which he has brought sueh dishonor on himself
as to disqualify him from administering the
Government with advantage, honor, or virtue,
and for which alone he would deserve t»> be re
moved from office.,
“Bth. I charge him with an illegal and uncon
stitutional exercise ot power in instituting a
commission to investigate past transactions un
der a former administration of the custom-house
in New York, under the pretence of seeing the
laws fa ith fully executed; with having arrested
the investigation at a moment when the inquiry
was to be made as to the manner in which those
laws were executed under his own Administra
tion; with having directed or sanctioned the ap
propriation of large sums of the public revenue
to the compensation of officers ot his own crea
tion, without the authority of law; which, it
sanctioned, would place the entire revenues ot
the country at his disposal.
“9th. I charge him with the high, misdemean
or of having withheld from the Representatives
of the People information called for and declar
ed to be necessary to the investigation of stu
pendous frauds and abuses alleged to have been
committed by agents of the Government, both
upon individuals and the Government itself,
whereby he himself becomes accessory' to those
frauds.”
The Resolution proposed by Mr. Botts in
connection with this proceeding, was as follows.
Resolved, That a committee of membersbe
appointed, with instructions diligently to inquire
into the truth of the charges preferred against
John Tyler, and to report to this House the tes
timony taken to establish said charges, together
with their opinion whether the said John Tyler
hath so acted in his official capacity' as to re
quire the interposition of the House.

Money Matters m Ohio.
The following’ article from the Cincinnati
s Rcptibljcan, will liunish to the readersome idea
of the extreme distress which must follow the
t recent arbitrary determination ofthe Legisla
} ture of Ohio, requiring a number of the sound
’ Banks forthwith to liquidate theii concerns :
The following statement shows the amount of
capital withdrawn from banking business i.i
1 Ohio, by thepxpitatiou ofthe charters ofthe
.. several oanks mentioned,; and we have added,
e in each case, the amount due. them on discount
„ cd paper. 'l'hi:- paper, from.the necessity ofthe
;t case, must now i>e paid by those indebted; and
fbrthetiiue it iita-st prouuce serious embarrass
r ment; for there is very little currency in fiteu
r lutiou, and.no specie. The banks left alive uq
not appear to be in a situation to extend loans;
and where tlie money is to come from to pay
three millions of debt to the bank's whose chai
-8 ters have just expired; it puzzles us to Ibietel.
The difficulties ofthe case appeal to,the good
sense and sound discretion of all concerned.
’• There should be no panic; for the banks defunct
'> have means to pay their uebts. If men ofbtisi
'• ness are cramped in their efforts to meet their
) engagements, iL lioulil be rumeuibered thavtheii
5 actual property is no Jess than it was before the
.banks expired; Unit their energy and capacity
1 for business are not lost; and that a proper Ibr
h bgarance on the part of creditors may save many
a good man from being ruined.

Reiki to Uic Stale:.
The increasing interest which this subject is
exciting anidng all classes of reflecting men, in
duces the conviction that it- will;ere long, be*-
come the que4k>n of most absorbihg interest
that can agitate the national councils or the
people. We aig therefore much pleased to ob
serve, that so laras our observation has extend
ed, the reflecting men ofthe country, like true
patriots, are viewing it as a separate and dis
tinct question, one of too great magnitude to be
canvassed upon party considerations—to be ad
vocated or opposed, Ixicattse tliis or that man of
tnie or the otheE'great parties advocates or op
poses the measure. This is the proper spirit,
and it is of its manifestation, that we
tee! so much plea sure in presenting to oiir read
ers the admiiftbte letters ofthe Hon. Vs. Cost
Johnson, one df which will be found in this
day’s paper, and inviting the calm and dispas
sionate consideration of every thinking and in
dependent pi. every class in society. It is
to be the mere demagogues will
advocate or oppose the measure, as shall seem
to serve their ambitious aspirations, quite as
probably withppt as with reflection; to such we
do not appeal, to consider Mr. Johnson’s plan,
bui we do ask every honest man, who feels confi
dent that he thinks for himselt', and, lias inde
’pendence enough to express his opinions delil--
crat'.dy and maturely formed.

The Impeachment*
In a speech delivered in Congress on the 12th
instant, by the Hon. K. Raynoh of North Car
olina, Mr. 11. thus alluded io the articles of im
peachment preferred by Mr. Botts, and the vole
of the. House upon those articles, which we
commend to fhr fenders atfeniion.
That till lately he had indulged in the full
faith ihat the Whig’ party was <miy undergoing
a puriiication, that tney were passing through
an ordeal of trial, from which they would
emerge •rcdecineu, regenerated and disenthrall
ed,’ ready as ever to do battle in the cause ofron
stiiutional liberty, wheiher for.unc frowned or
fortune smiled. And although he wuuic yet
have hope, yet he confesseubv was i.ol f.«-c irom
feelings oi despondency. ’lc witnessed a scene
here but iwo days since which he would Lave
been glad to avoid seeing. A representative .
(Mr. I soils)-rose in hjs > lice, and, appealing tu
1 leaven for the reuiitiu c of his intentions, a v.n. -

violated Constitution, regardless us all person

staked iiis upon their truth, and’ in
ability to prove them: asked this House tui the
appointment oi a cqmyiiftee, merely that he
might have'an opporkmiiy of e?u»bli:.hini’; his

Georgia.—The District F-y.-tcm. I
The Legfefalnre of Georgia, in accv»rdance
with the terras of ’he App‘‘rtio:ii;iciit law, ic
ccidiy pa -c i a bill to divide the State ina» C<-n -
gressionai districts. We regret to learn that the
good I’UeUj.pn qf the two Houses Ims het n de
feated by Lie ExeviHi.-.c voto. Guv. Mc-Dumdd
says:
“It does not appear itpon the face of the bill,
that i‘< was adopteu in compliance with the yro
visions ot an act of Congress, passed at ihe late
session, resuming the authority to control and
coerce the legislation of the States on this >ul -
jcct, nor would 4 presume to say. that the Leg
islature was ihflnenced bv that coirideration.
•i that the bill would not have been passed, in
dependent of such unconstitutional requirement
nyt |Ju* Ejecitive is unwilling io give hisas
gu art ylik-h may be < on>trLed- into an
acquiescence fa hn uijjQ.-i : iitroucmuent upon
the rights of ihejStates. Unauthorized .assump
tions of power in mailers of even small import,
should be me! moderately, but thinly, and resist
ed as the harbingers of more dangerous usurpa
tions.”
The absurdity cf this proceeding is most mon
strous. Itis not denied, lor it cannot be ques
tioned, that the Constitution authorizes Congress
to maho concerning the election of
members liouse of Representatives, an I
io alier any regdlaiioas which the Htalps mav I
have made on .that subject, in tbw absenceoi’any ,
aivg’iyt ment ’ey ( ’ahg.i .-s. ‘l.i ’. ’it be supposed j
then that been said’iii the?;ppo ihih-
meut taw ic jtie duty qf the States to [
district themselves, and that the lav hat. simply i i
required cv< ry merpher ofthe House to beelect- 1
ed from a single district. Uilder su«4i a Irw <
Low could tin? members from Georgia claim
§eats in the House, elected at they are by a gen- 1
oral ticket.' The law of Congress having al- I
/ re? th»* regulation.-, hitherto in fur?-'! in Geoigia
i i spoctm j dip election q1 membero ofUongr<!>:, ,
it could rot be maintained that those regulations
were still valid. The most ultra State Kights
man could, not deny the i of C’ongre.under
the/const.tutiun to ‘falter'’ any regulations on
that potn made by a State Legislature.
The State of Georgia now stands in a singu
lar pjouition. If it be granted that Congress
has no ?ight to direct a State Legislature to
change its laws, or to pass such as it pre
scribeNj |.nd the admission be made that the
clause in the-Apportionment law so directing is
unconstjiulioiiai—in short, allowing every thing,
which the nullifying Governor claims, it is yet
manifest and unquestionable that such provis
ions of the law as go to alter the regulations of .
the State on the subject of G‘ongressional elec
tions arc constiiutiohal, andcannot be gainsayed.
If then the State of Georgia will not comply
with the regulations prescribed by Congress, it
is evident ihat there are no regulations in force
in that Commonwealth for the election of mem
bers to the national House of Rcpresentath es.
The State of New Hampshire stands in ihe same
jxjsiiion.
But to talk of the assumption by (,'ongrc -s of
the authority “to control and coerce the legisla
tion ofthe Slates on this subject,” is really to
talk in a manner so ridiculous that one hardly
knows how to treat such language. It seems
impossible that those whduse it can be in earnest.
The matter assumes a grave character only when
it is rememberedthat seriousdilficultiesare like
ly to grow out ofthe blind ob -tinacy and sense
less pride of men, who clothed with a temporary
authority, appear to consider that sovereignty
dwells only with then), and that common sense
has nothing to do w ith such high maitcic. astSiaie
independence and gubernatorial dignity.
