Tu* following sp rited sketch of Mr. Toohbs*
speech in the town of Oglethorpe, was furnished
by e correepondentofthe Journal & Meetengtr:
OOLiTHOEtu:, Sept. 8, ISSB.
Complying with the invitation of a number of
Onbit men, torwar led ae.erat weeks ago, the Hon.
Kobe it Toombs, addressed a large concourse of
the Citizens ot Macon and the adjoining counties,
a Og.v’horpe, ou Wednesday last. lie arrived in
the cars »i naif post 10 o’clock, and in less than
an lii.ur. «»• thundering to the masses at Uornc
dk Jelka' Warehouse, where the roalrum end seats
had been provided. A large uud beautiful Hag,
(the property of V. H. Oliver, Ksq.,) showing the
stars and stipes of the Union, floated from a tall
Liberty pole which had been raised for the occa
siou, in Itout of the wurehoose. The jieople lie
gau to collect at an early hoar, and, at the ringing
of the City Hall bell, assembled to bear this fa
mous Georgtan.who bsd been pronounced at Wash
ington City, as second only to Daniel Webetor, in
intellectual greatness.
Mr. Toombs began without ceremony and
launched forth into a review of parties as they ex
isted previous to the great national issue of l nion
or Disunion, in 1850-’si. The territory acquired
from Mexico was to be organized, and cn the ques
tion allowing or rejecting slavery there by Cou
*-(!«, tho struggle, in its practical form, betweei
tat North md the booth, bad its origin. The
Jtraiata oi both sections, agreed as to one object
—LosUite the Union— those of tho South because
•lavery waa left in the hands of the people; and
the agitators of the North declared their hated to
the Union, because Congreas did not apply the
Wilmot Proviso at once, and thereby exclude sla
very from every foobof soil obtained in the war
with Mexioo. . ~
Such was th* crisis wheo Congress met in De-
. ectnber, 1840, st whioh session the Compromise
measures were adopted. Distinguished men of
r both political parties, unnecessary to name, bat
whose efforts to save the Union will ever be ap
preciated, put their heads and hearts together for
, the pacification of the country. Whilst this patri
otic work was going on,tho Naahville Convention
waa called, whioh demanded a Southern Congre-s
to secure the independence of the South. Mr.
Toombs said he had the documents with him to
prove this declaration. In the face of all this ex
eitament, jeoparding tho Union,» party was form
ed by the friends or the Constitution, to sustain
tho Government as w* reooived it from our fath
era. That party triumphed in every State. In
Georgia,the victory was complete—a majority of
13,600 in favor of Gov. Bobb against the President
of the last Nashville Convention.
Thus waa silenced for e while, all mutiny in the
camp. The Georgia Platform became the Com
mon resort of ell parties. Even the Fire-Eaters
and Freeaoilers professed to stand upon it, how
ever unwilling to yield to its salutary doctrines,
and iU noble vindication of constitutional liberty.
Such was tho effect on public opinion, that it be
nime nationalized—* household creed in all the
BtltMv
Anxious to secure the ascendency of its prin
ciples a meeting was held at Milledgeville at the
session of the Legislature in 1851—by a num
ber of intelligent and patriotic men of the Whig
and Democratic parties, who ageod to merge ail
other isaoee, and to support no political organize
liou, and no candidate for the Presidency, who
would not stand pledged to abide the finality ot
Ihe Compromise, in the spirit of tho Georgia Plat
form. Events rolled on. Both Conventions at
Baltimore adopted it, and thus left the Whigs and
Democrats of tho Union party free to act with
either side, in perfeot consistency. Had but one
Convention Incorporated the Georgia Platform into
its resolntions for approval, its nominee should
have commanded the votes of all tho Union men,
regardless of former party ties. But that alternu
tive was avoided by the policy of both National
Conventions—a pohey togain votes at t he expense
of sinoerity—for tho resistance men at tbo South,
and the Freesoilera at the North havo never been,
and never will be reconciled to the Georgia Plat
form, as proclaimed by the State Convention in
1850, though they pretend to ratify it. It is too
conservative for any faction.
In his inaugural address, President Pricree ex
plicitly affirmed the Compromise, as the rule of
lit official conduct. What did this obligation im
ply ! Was it not that he wonld select the friends
of the Compromise to aid him in tho administra_
tion ot the Government 1 Was it not that ho would
rofuse office to the enemies of tho Compromise?
if he was honest in his piofession, how dare he
trifle with his official duties and outrage public
opinion by conferring important officeß, at home
and abroad, on notorious Free-soilers and Aboli
tionist* » This he has done in the caso of Mr.
Dix, Sub Treasurer in New York, through whose
bands half the revenue of th* Government rinses
annually, with all the patronage and influence
naturally wielded in suoh aposition. Gov. \ room,
of New Jersey, also an Abolitionist, has been ap
pointed Minister Plenipotentiary to Prussia. A
number of other examples might be given, if tie
ooMtiry, of the open violation by tho President oi
the pledges of his insogural. One eo faith oss to
ward the South, deserves no support in this quar
ter.
Here Mr. Tombs dwelt at considerable length Id
specifics tion and argument, proving that President
I Woe had abandoned the principle* of bis inaugural
—that the fire catereand Free soiler* who hated the
Union so terribly two yesre ago, were still in am
bush, waiting for ths opportunity to havo their
revenge, by destroying tho Union stall hazard* and
upon any pretext;—the one set to throw off the
Impertinent Yankee nation, as they call them in
derision; end the other set of destructives procood
to wash their consciences from all fraternization
with slaveholders 1 Tho danger exists, is inereas
ing and ought to be diminished. Once allow tho
enemies of tho Compromise to obtain oontrol of
the puhlte offices, they will gradually force their
way Into the high plaoes of tho Government, and
then farewell to the Union. With a majority from
the non slaveholding States in both houses of
Congress, what guarantee has the South that its
vital Institutions will not be crashed I The pros
peot of danger is the time to avert it A President
with Free-soil sympathies, as evinced in his ap
pointments to offloe, is not a fit ropresoutativo of
the union—blowing hot and cold at the samo
time. Professions cost nothing, and often accom
plish s groat deal; but actions prove tho man, his
grit and atatnra*
The Georgia Platform, then, contained all par
tios—evory body—if professions wore to bo taken.
And here, said Mr. Toombs, let ns dwell on home
matters awhile; let ns boo who aspires to the Ex
eoutive; who asks the first honor in the Stato, and
who is the proper person to roceive it! The can
didates are in the field—regular nominees of State
Conventions—Judge Johnson and Mr. Jenkins.—
Aside from other considerations, which of tho two
is the best Union man, the safest, tho most uni- i
form snpporter of the Georgia Platform 1 [Hero
Mr. Tooms read various published letters from
Judge Johnson, some denouncing and ottiors ap
proving tho Platform.] There waa no consistency I
n theao declaration*. Judge Johnson is in prin |
ciple, opposod to conciliatory measures; ho is a
secessionist of the Nashville stripe, always ready
to bnoklo on hisarmorforbattlcagamstthoUnion, ;
that “ ourse " of the South, os certain papors called
it. A man of ability, of honorable character, yet I
of contracted views, he is not the leader for the '
crisis; he is not the pilot to guide tho Ship of State i
amid the storms and rocks of the political ooean,
lashed into fury by the wild, malignant harpios
who would deluge the land In blood to seoure the
downM of Southern Institutions. The reign of
abolition, encouraged by the President, will ruin
the country. Let us withdraw our support from
the man wno thus mocks our sensibilities and dis- '
regards our welfare.
Who is worthy of trnsl in this momentous issuo ? i
Tho man who abhort the Georgia Platform from
principle,yet stands upon it from policy f—or the
man who framed It, squared every timber, fitted
and nailed every piank in it I Hero are the two i
men, choose between them, Jndge Johnson and
plain Charles J. Jenkins. Mr. Toombs then spoke
of the pure personal character of Mr. Jenkins, his
long and valuable public services; his declining a
soat In the Cabinet tendered him by President
Fillmore; his snperlor talents, and his devotion to
the Union, all pointing him out as tho identical
man to fill the Executive offloo. As to the Alge
rine Lew, brought up against him, it was a flimsy
iiffslr; and the objection oomes with a poor grace
from Democrats wno had a largo majority in both
branohoaof the Legislature, and also tho Governor,
at the time of it* passage. Barely, if any personal
right was violated, the majority and tho Governor
who mado the lew. were to blame, and not Mr.
Jankin*, who simply obeyed the instructions of
his constituent*.
Mr. Toombs Bpoke about two hours, amid tro
quent applause. The people in this seotion never
heard him before. His effort, though not equal to
many other* that he has made elsewhere, gavo very
gmioral satisfaction, and increased his popularity
and fame as a bold, fearless Champion of the Union,
and of the true dootriDeaof the Constitution. Ho
glanced st the Pacific Railroad project as finding
tavor with the Preeidout, contrary to the establish
ed creed of the Democracy on tne subject of in
ternal Improvement* by the General Government.
The war "power ” has suddenly peeped forth to
authorise thi* mighty soheme of plunder and cor
ruption, to the tone of more than one hundred
millions of dollsra of the pnblic money. Mr.
Tootnbe was opposed to any and all such abuses of
the national faith.
Os course, this Is not pretendod to be a synopsis
of Mr. Toombs’ speech, nor even a glance at all
the topics discussed. He said many good things
in a way peouliar to himself, which wonld lose
their pungency by the attempt to follow him.
At the conclusion of the speech, a freebarbacue
was announced, and all were invited to partake.—
Thus oloeed a day long to be remembered, in con
nection with tho ramous young Senator of Georgia,
a man destined to leave the impress of his charabtor
on the age in which ho acted a part.

Weather ui Crops.
The Salem (Mias.) Reporter, of the Ist instant,
says:
We are informed that worms are not only ruin
ing the cotton, but they have entered into com
fields and are committing serions injuries upon
young corn. They eat the blades of the stalk,
thus leaving it naked.
The Alton (111.) Telegraph, says that the corn
crops throughout Jersey, Green, Scott and Ma
ooupin an prospering finely, and the yield will be
immense.
The Milwankie Sentinel, of the 28d ult, says:
David Ferguson cleared from this
port Saturday evening for Buffalo, with a full
Y JST“, n ’ «>ns>*Ung of 8 ,000 bushels of
wheat. «,00° of oats and 1,000 of rye. The wheat
is the handsomest lot we ever saw in a vessel’s
hold.
The Macon (Miaa.) Beacon, of the 24th uIL,
says:
For the four weeks past we have had to report
heavy rains. The month of Angnat has been a
wet month, which we hear from every quarter
will be most disastrous to the ootton. The worm
ia also very destructive.
The Marion (Miaa.) Republican, of the 29th uIL,
says:
The eotton crop in this county will be a short
one. The ravages of the boll worm are almoet
beyond computation; squares, small bolls and
bolls matured and opening are attacked by the
worm without discrimination. The weather ia
n * n< * P«rhape the ravages of the worm
will be cheeked it we oan have a week or two of
sunshine.
The Ysaoo Democrat, of the 81st ult., ftayi:
On last Saturday we had the hardest rain that
wa have seen for several months. The weather
Mill continues hot and showery, with a great deal
of thnnder and lightning. The cotton crop
promises, fair, if it does not have too much rain.

Mesa Meeting at Kingatau.
Kisoctox, Sept. Bth, 1858.
Mr. Editox—As an eye wit nee*, I proceed to
send you a brief account of the greet Mas* Meet
ing of the Democracy which came off to-day.
The exercises liegan about 10 o’clock—the crowd
repairing to the stand under lead of a few brae*
J instruments, the music of which, if music it could
be called, seemed fitly to represent the discordant
element* which make up tfce rank and file of the
re-united Democracy. Judge J. H. Lumpkin, as
President of the occasion, introduced the several
speakers in order, as follows:
Ist. Jno. W. n. Underwood, one of the famous
Borne regency and a very recent convert to the
taitb of the uuterrified. He addressed himself
mainly to the Union Democracy, lecturing on De
mocratic principles with all the dignity and self
confidence of one of the old pannel. He thought
it exceedingly audacious for the Republican party
to ask the votes of the Union Democracy, and at
tempted, in a manner which appeared exceedingly
satisfactory to himself, to show that it was auda
cious—the sum and substance of bis arguments
being, that in the Union Convention of ’sl, to de
cide upon the question of sending delegatee to
either of the National Conventions, that he end
others of the party were in favor of being repre
sented in the Democratic National Convention,
whilst other* opposed them and afterwards advo
cated the election of Daniel Webster. He here
took occasion to denounce the political character
of Mr. Webster, and the Whig party, (the party
with which, until late, he has been ever identified,)
charged them, and the present Conservative paity,
with Federalism—and that they were opposed to
popular right*, and repeated the stale charge of
tire Algerine Law against Mr. Jenkins, as evi
dence of the fact. He concluded his remarks by
passing very lame eulogies on the characters and
worth of the nominee* of tho District, Col. Chas
tain and Crook. We must admit, however, that
these eulogies were as good as the subjects would
allow.
Mr. Harralsou next took the stand, and exhaust
ed most ot bis time iu abusing the “ Webster fac
tion”—pronounced the Conservative party a mere
fiction, gotten up for the benefit of acertaiu clique.
He defended Mr. Pierce and his administrative
policy, and exhorted tho Union Democrats and
Scott Whigs to fall into line.
The Hon. licrechel V. Johnson next addressed
the crowd in a speech of considerable length, in
which he labored hard to show that there is no
Union party—that Jenkins, Stephens and Toombs
had destroyed it—that he and his crowd were the
Democracy, and tho true Constitutional Union De
mocracy. That the charge of Disunion and Se
cession against him is a “ Wtitter Whig tie," —
that he was a Democrat of tho old school, and
had fought their battles for them, and that they
ought to stand up to him. His appeal was to the
Union Democracy, and ho plraost bagged them to
support him. But we trust that they have not so
soon forgotten his rancor and bitterness against
them in ’sl and ’52. He took occasion to defend
the appointments of Gen. Pierce, and denied that
any evidence had been adduced, "cave Abolition
netetpapert," to prove that any Buch appointments
had been made as charged upon him. We could
not help thinking that testimony of Abolitionists,
avowing and exulting ovor the Freesoil appoint
ments, was the very strongest evidence that oonld
be possibly offered in proof of tho charge.
Tho Hon. Howell Cobb then proceeded to ad
dress the meeting. He considered it a sufficient
apology for tho seeming breach of propriety of
one in his station appearing before the people,
that he had beon slaudorcd and his motives im
pugned. lie could not remain quiet under such
circumstances, but would and roust be heard. He,
too, appealed 'o tho Union Democrats to harmon
ize—denounced the Ecpnblioau party as sectional,
and unworthy of countenance. Spoke loudly In
behalf of the Northern Democracy, and said it
was duo to them that we fall in with the National
Democracy. Ho defended the Administration, and
contrary to tho position ot Col. Johnson, admitted,
while ho justified the Freesoil appointments of
President Piorco —affirmed that ovory President,
from Washington down, had done the same thing.
The Hon. Charles J. McDonald followed in hia
usual dry and stale manner. Much of his time
was taken up in proving Daniel Webster to have
been a Froesoiler—read an extract from his Buffalo
spoooh, and also road an extract from Mr. Ste
phens’ speech on tho annexation of Texas, to
show that he, too, was a Froesoilor. What all this
could possibly nave to do with tho present election
for Governor in Georgia, he did not show. He
acknowledged that ho signed the Algerine Law,
bat did it because he did not wish to oppose the
will of the people. It was only a local law, and did
not effect tto general interest of tho State. Such
was tho substance of the Ex-Governor’s remarks
upon this Bubjoot. What unprecedented effronte
ry and Uliborality. The Ex-Governor and his par
ty trying to dofeat Mr. Jenkins for voting for the
Algerine Luw, when they, too, voted for it and
helped to make it.
After Jndge McD., Mr. Chappell proceeded to
give, in detail, the substance of what appeared, not
a great while ago, iu his letter. Mr. Welborne
followed In a brief address, urging upon the
Union Democracy “to lose drap it,” and all come
up to the old fold and vote with tho Democracy.
Ho mado a show of great fairness and acknowledg
ed the great worth of Mr. Jenkins, as an indi
vidual.
Wo cannot give anything like a full account of
the soveral speeches. The object and aim of all
tho speakers was the reconciliation of the Union
Demoorats, and there was groat sameness in the
arguments and positions of tho soveral speakers.
Tho crowd was scanty, not execoding 460 or 600
persons, all told, and tho dinner was a little ecarcer
than tho crowd, and the whole affair may truly be
said to have been but a poor show.

A Voice from Old Hancock!
Mb. Editor—'There are many things transpiring,
of which, as a public journalist, you ought to be
informed; more particularly of what is occurring
in the country, as your eye cannot pieroo the far
distance or overlook hills, nor san your ears hear
the shout attending the applause of a popular ora
tor, nor the whisperings of the multitude upon
the political questions and public improvements
of the day.
Yesterday the Conservatives nominated Linton
Stephens, Esq., for the Senate, and L. Stewart,
Esq., for tho House, for this county; and the for
mer being called for, responded in a speech of an
hour, enchaining Mb audienco, upon the princi
ples of the party. The people evinced no impa
tience, though they awaited his conclusion to hear
'•Little Alect," who was here by appointment.
For an hour and n half, ho held the poople in
rapturous silenco, (if I may use an expression that
defines my feolings upon tho occasion.) Ha took
up the history of Charles J. Jenkins for the last
twonty years, showing that ho was identified with
almost ovory important event that occurred in
Georgia during that time, and in all of them be
had been a faithful Stewart, and that the State
should delight to do honor to-him. He told na
Georgia had tho honor and glory of establishing
tho first Female College in the world, and it was
through the influence of Charles J. Jenkins it was
dono. He spoke of the Secession, Pierce admin
istration candidate only when eontraeting him
with Jenkins, and said, when, two years ago, the
cry for war wont out over the land—in that “time
that triod men's souls”— Charlis J. J inkins was
called upon to calm the rnging waters and bring
Georgia out of her trying situation, and he did so;
adding new honors to her history and stilling the
turbulent deep, when he penned the preamble and
resolutions of tho Convention of 1860. But where
was Johnson I Supporting the Secession candi
date for Governor aud urging on, as far as he was
able, tho infuriated mass to a disruption of the
Union. Jenkins’ plan was tried and found good;
therefore the reverse, which Johnson supported,
would have been injurious. Which of the two
was most far-sighted ? Why Charles J. Jknkini ;
and he would advise Johnson to enlist under this
tried Captain for three or four voyage?, in the ship
of State, before trying to sail her himself! Like
an avulnnche he fell upon the Administration aud
its Pacific pet; but when he came to the Freesoil
appointments, as one said, “ he literally chawed
them up.” I never hoard him more eloquent, and
at the same time sc bitter. He felt the South had
been deceived and outraged by it, and that the
true and tried Democracy had been thrust aside,
and these Abolitionists told “to come np higher,”
and said, “ that before he would belong to a party
with Buch men as Dia, Vroom, Campbell and Ma
lonoy in it, he would rather be a dog tied to the
cart of some man in Sparta.” He plainly showed
it was the interest of the Bouth to oppose the Pa
cific Railroad, as a Government scheme of internal
improvement, and carried conviction even to the
minds of Southern Rights Democrats. Ido not
pretend to do justice to this effort of his, and give
only an imperfect sketch of it, and will say no
more. You have heard him, Georgia has heard
him: but to have heard him on this occasion was
a privilege. Truly, Remk.

New York September slb, 1853.
Hon. A. H. Stephens i:
Mr Dear 8n: — I never see in print the name of
one of my old compatriots in the great straggle
we had in the Slat Congress upon the principles of
the Compromise bills, without a sympathy, and a
deep, abiding interest. I lore them as an old sol
dier lovee the fellow-soldier whostoodside by sido
with him, and against whom his shoulder was
} braced on many a hard fought and I oug doubtful
i Held. Y* our re-appearance as a candidate for Con
gress has re awakened thoughts which must find
utterance, to give me content.
Tou well know that the men of the North who vot
ed with Ur. Cley end others for the settle me nt of the
Missouri question were nearly all cloven down in
the battles that followed upon it in the Northern
States. They straggled and straggled—bat the
passion snd furore of Northern anti-Blavery sen
timent overwhelmed them. Their history end
their fate were well known to ns Northern men,
who, in Congress in 1850, maintained the princi
ples of the Compromise Bills, and we clearly fore
saw what moantains of prejudice and passion we
had to aormoant; bat we consoled oarselves with
the self-saetaining reflection that we were doing
right, end that our Southern countrymen would,
to the extent of their ability, maintain and protect
ns in the great national and Constitutional meas
ures we were risking all to support. What we
did, we did, however, because our oaths to support
the Constitution in the spirit, as well as in the let
ter of those who framed it required it of us—and
we oould not oomrait perjury before God and man.
Thia self sustaining reflection is still left as, and
supports ns, and ever will support ns; but, alas,
many of onr Southern allies have been faithless to
ns—utterly faithless to us—and have left us to face
the whole army of Northern fanaticism, bigotry,
passion, and disuuion. Party has rendered them
blind to loyalty, to chivalry, to good faitb, and to
honor too. I am compelled to add—ls wo who
are enduring this shock were nothing, and to be
oonsidered ns nothing, yet the lesson taught us is
one so fatal to the fature peace and prosperity of
this Union that thongb an indignant self respect
might prompt a silence, patriotism demands a re
monstrance, if not a protest.
It is well known to you what obloquy and
what party, if not personal jeopardy I encountered,
pending the oontest going ou in Congressional
oancusea, and on the floor of the Honse of Repres
entatives, to oompel both the W big and the Demo
cratic parties, to present men as well as measures
to the people for Federal offico, who in spirit as
well os in letter, would represent, maintain, and
enforce the principles of settlement and of com
promise upon which you and lacted in 1850. Tho
happy reealt of all our common efforts was to make
both the great parties of the country, assembled in
Baltimore, give a public and solemn adherence, at
least on paptr, to their principles,—and I for one
fondly indulged the hope and belief that whatever
party triumphed in the election, these triumphed
with it, the Union sentiment, the Union patriotism
of tho oountry, and the Union men. I regretted as
a Whig, and as a personal friend, the defeat of Gen.
Scott; but I rejoiced as an American, that his less
known, though successful rival, would rally
around him the men, ns well as the principles,
which in these Northern States, often without dis
tinction of party, gave him thousands of votes in
some places, and in other places, an acquiescence
almost equivalent to an active support.
It was nothing to me and to Whigs generally, of
my way of thinking and acting, amid the anti sla
very passion of the North, whom President Pierce
appointed to office here, because under the now
established, but very pernicious party laws of the
oonntry, the “outs" had to go in, and the “ins"
to go ont; but it was of tho very highest, nay of
the very gravost importance to all of both national
parties, Whig or Democratic, that the national
sentiment, and the national men of the north should
be proteoted, defended and maintained against
the fearful and perilous war made upon them, be
cause they sustained the principles and mode and
moasures of the great settlement of 1850 between
the North and the South. We had a sympathy, a
hearty sympathy with Ex-Senator Dickinson, and
the like, who perill ad all in that trying day. I had
seen many of them in 1850 vote forme, when a
candidate for re-eleolion to Congress, bitterly as
sailed beoanse I supported that settlement, against
one of their own party men of the Freo Soil school,
now holding high office bore under President
Pierce, —and therefore, I felt, as others felt, a sym
pathy in the position they held, and iu the perils
they had ran. The storm ofinvective against them
had been kept up not only during the Presidential
contest, but long alter it was all over; and, this vin
dictive pursuit of allies, if not political associates,
had warmed that sympathy almost into friendship.
When President Pierce thon selected the revilers
of onr allies in 1850 for rioh rewards and for very
high positions of influenoe among onr fellow-citi
zens, it settled something more than what con
cerned the “ins” and “tuts-" viz: a precedent, an
example, in his own powerful party, to last as long
os the country or the Constitution lasts.
Some issues live, flourish and perish, and leave
no legacies behind them. Such were many exist
ing in Washington’s, Adams’ and Jefferson’s day;
but others exist through all time, and perish only
aa a nation perishes with them. The onqo mighty
issue of “Bank or no Bank” is gone, and the
once powerful issue of “Tariff or no Tariff” is
going. Foreseeing the enormous and alarming ac
cumulation in the Foderal “Treasury from the
nominal Tariff of 1842, but essentially remodelled
aud vastly increased nnderthe Act of 1851,” I,
though a Whig, as you know, availed my
self of the oavllest opportunity in the last Con
gress to bring in a proposition for tho essential
redaction of the revenues: bat, strango to say,
almost tho whole body of the Democratic party
voted against us, and left rolling up, as we see by
the Treasury returns of August 81st, £27,000,000,
(twenty-seven millions.) Such mere money issues
thus all perish, sooner or later; but the issues of
great principles, springing from the very nature of
man, or from tho constitution of a country, aro as
immortal as man, or that country. President
Pieroe is leaving ns a legacy, as immortal as the
pro-slavery part of the Federal Constitution or the
anti-slavery sentiment of man against that instru
ment. Tho issne from 1849 to ’62 was, whether
the principles, the spirit as well as the letter of
that instrument, coaid be maintained and enforced;
and men North and South be maintained at home
in their vindication; bnt now nearly the whole
weight of the Federal Government has been, and
is, brought to bear against all of us, Democrats os
well as Whigs, who risked all in our homes and by
our own flresidss, to maintain and enforce them.
We, who in the North bad withstood, and success
fully, as we thought, tho adroit rhetoric of a Hale,
the constitutional logic of a Sumner and a Seward,
and the brilliant romance of “Uncle Tom,” hnvo
now brought to bear to crush us, tho overwhelm
ing power of the Federal Government and tho
Federal Treasury!
All thess, however, could not orush us, because
the Federal Constitution, onr fortress, was impreg
nabls. Were onr Southern allies all trne to us, in
this onr hour of trial; or, were we not (may I no,
aay it!) deserted on the very field of battle 1 You
and I stood side by side In Congress, resisting men
whom we saw exerting no ordinary ability and in
dustry, to destroy thia Union; but we have seen
them rewarded with some of the very best offices
by President Pieros—many Southern presses silent
or applauding t You have named some of these
Northern members, and shown np their votes in
your address to the people of Georgia. Southern
presses are silent, or palliate the outrage as the
official organ at Washington does, by representing
it as necessary for the unity of the Demoo ratio
party t Think not I shall venture to name them,
or others like them. These men are my masters
now, and lam their politicalelave. Silence is pru
dence, where authority is supreme within doore,
snd when allies are faithleee vythoat.
If the example President Pierce has set. and
the precedent, had died with the Administration,
I shoald not have retaken my pen to re-ineur the
dennnoiation such plain spoken words as mine
will evoke; but the issue be has made and the
torn he has given to that issue, is as immortal as
the government—as the Constitution itself. He
has declared to all his couutrymeu that in all fu
ture time, especially in times fall of peril, “You
may sow treason to tne Constitution broadcast: you
may preach sedition ; you may arouse, excite, in
flame all manner of sectional animosity and passion;
you may make Northern mm abhor and detest the
Southern man as a tyrant, wretch and murderer ;
you may pits yourself importance and power by the
rage of sectional fury you may excite, and yet you
may hat w, despite aU this, nay, from the very local
importance this gives you, the leading places of the
Federal Government." President Pierce has made
this Proclamation, at least to ns, in the Northern
States, and in so doing, these men have become
onr masters, and we their political slavee. Trea
son to the Constitution has profited better from
him than patriotism, and treason hereafter, when
the times of 184S-’SO return, is likely to be the
rule, and patriotism the exception. Who, deserted,
is going to fight Southern constitutional battles on
Northern ground! Who is going to immolate
himself for faithless allies! The precedent is
settled—that treason to the oonntry, but fidelity to
the passion of yonr section is the way to Federal
power; and hereafter, in times like those of the
Missouri agitation, or those cf 1850, it will require
bold men te face faction and passion at home, and
treachery abroad. The President has thus in his
nse of Federal patronage, left a fearful and endur
ing legacy of misohief behind him; and they in
theSonth, who support him in bo doing, have
chilled or frozen Northern respect for such country
men or allies. It will not do to say, as ia said )
even were it trne, these men thus rewarded are
now faithful to the prinoiplee of the settlement of
1860, because their very rewards have come from
the political importance they got by fanning at
home all tho excitement and passion that made
that settlement necessary. To reward sedition
onee, ia to tow sedition forever; and the seeds of
it are sown now in all these Northern States, and
will ripen the very moment the time for harvest
comes. It is not true, however, that any real re
spect is felt by the large misses of President
Pierce’s Northern office holdeia forthis settlement,
beyond the respect they have for their salaries or
foes ; and the moment their offloes are gone, that
moment they will resume their old positions. The
Abolition sentiment was never stronger among
ii..n, than it ia now, and it breaks forth in spite of
all official disguises.
Whenever other practical issues present thezn
eelvee to the country, as in 1850, and like issues
must be frequently presented, it will require more
moral courage than ever on the part of Northern
Conservative, Constitutional men, to face the pas
sion, and breast the storm Federal patronage has
been nursing. In these days of teiepraphs, rail
nmjf steamboats, with antagonist n«w,«
so utterly different a.- are tlft» of j oars •ud mine,
coming into constant and rapid eoUission, these
issues will yearly force themselves upon us, aud
he must be a bold mau, indeed, who continues
faithful to the Federal Government, if t h»t Federal
Government ia faithless to itself. But while the
very rapidity of the contact between our antagon
ist State institutions makes more indispensable
than ever the strengthening of the national senti
ment, and thus, tho bonds of union, the Federal
power has been stretched to weaken it, by weaken- j
ing the men who have devoted themselves to create
and maintain it.
The comse of many Southern politicians, under
the tact (and semi official justification ot tho fact)
that the Federal patronage in the North has, in the
main, been given toFreesoilismand Abolitionism,
forbids the existence in the North of any sound
national organization. What can Whigs or Demo
crats do hero with the mighty weight of the Fede
ral power upoß us, against that sectionalism, which,
invigorated by local appeals, becomes fierce and
wild, when nationalism has no allies, no protection
any where else. The Democratic party in tho
North has, of course, degenerated, or is degenera
ting into what is called “ Free Democracy, ” alias
Abolitionism, or else it has a forked tongne, t-hen
“resolving” in all national affairs. It is as
“ sound ” as ever on the old dead “ United States
Bank, ” and out of Pennsylvania, Connecticut and
Rhode island, on the “ Tariff, ” or, on “ State
Bights, ” especially ii they mean the right of u
State to nullify the Fugitive Slave Law ; but cn
living, breathing, moving issues, it Is forked, dcu
b’e-tongued. The Whig party, if not dead, a.-
some of our leading Frecsoil Whigs have pro
nounced, sleeps; some of us chilled and frozen, up
I have said, and for the reasons I have said; and
others, because they hope from the ruins of tin
old Democracy to construct a “Free Democracy ”
whoso sectional passion shall carry all before it in
these Northern States. How long this unnatnra
state of things is to last, I cannot foresee; bnt it
will certainly last as long aa the Democracy of the
South cherishes to its bosom and protection the
leading Froesoiltrs of tho North. You, in Geor
gia, have once severed the unnatural connexion,
and you arc again at' empting to keep it severed.
Your former successful struggle for the Union and
our common nationality, once inspired us all with
tho liveliest gratitude and omotiou ; and your ef
forts now to establish a common platform for ail
national meu, North aud South, have tho hearty
sympathy and good wishes of thousand? here in
the North. The battle is to be begun, aud to be
finished successfully in the South, before we can
begin to do anything hero. I wish you success
with all my heart and soul, and I expect to hear of
it, if patriotism, if constitutional principle, if true
eloquence, aro prized, as I think they are, by the
people of Goorgia. Yours, rcspecttnllv.

The Algerine Law.
For the Chronicle ct Sentinel.
Mr. Editor—l cannot, and do not wish to vote,
but I have always thought it was a woman’s privi
lege to talk as long as she could get anybody to
listen to her; and if the fact of having lived so
long in Augasta, and an interest in its welfare in
clines me to discuss its laws, I do not see the harm.
Mr. Gardner himself implies (Constitutionalist,
Sept. 7th,) that my offenco is in being on what he
would think the wrong side. My sex, however,
has nothing to do with the merits of the case, un
less to indicate that the discussion should boa
peculiarly courteous one, and as I intend it shall
be ou my part, I will drop tho subjeot.
Iu the first place, what is the value of that much
talked of thing, a vote ? Is it a reward of merit—
the merit of being honest, or intelligent, or even
rich? When the Constitutionalist speaks of not
being endowed, in a certain particular, with it, as
a “ bodge of humiliation and disgraco,” one would
supposo he thought so. Was the right to vote ftr
those who taxed them, which caused our fathers
toseparato from England, a mere reward of merit
—a thing like a German silver medal, hung around
the neck of a child, who is at the head ot his class!
It may be owing to the weakness of my feminine
intellect, that I have not so read history, and per
hips to you gontlemon, in your masouline acute
ness, it may tell a different tale. It is because we
Southern ladies do not think not being able to
vote a “badgeof humiliation and disgrace,” that
wo are oontent not to vote. Tho truo value of the
elective franchise is in its protective power to the
voter—by giving him a voice in the laws which
concern him. Mr. Gardnor talks so fairly and
courteously towards Mr. Jenkins, in the begin
ning of his article, and this is such an anusnally
pleasant thing in the heat of political controversy,
that it is a thousand pities he destroyed its effect
by saying that the Algerine law declared that
“none who were not in possession of one thousand
dollars of real estate, or pay a tax of twenty-five
dollars, were to be entrusted with ahy voice in the
control of the taxation and tho enterprizes of the
city, involving pecuniary liability.”
What says the Law itself? Sec. 5 says: “ The
members of the City Council shall continue to ex
ereiso all the power now by law vested in them,
subject to the restrictions contained in the fourth
section of this act;” and the 4th section thus ex
plains those restrictions: “No loan of money or
contract for the payment of money, shall be made
by the City Council of Augusta, nor any tax as
sessed by them, nor any salaries of officers fixed
without the concurrence of said Board of Aider
men.” Now, is not bringing water into the city
an enterprize involving pecuniary liability ? And
oould they not assess taxes for it subject to tho
concurrence of tho Board of Aldermen ? And !s
that “no voice f" What do you mean, Mr. Gatd
ner, by. “no voicet" Now the Legislature of
Georgia has no power to assess taxes without ti e
concurrence of the Governor—a precisely similar
otse—and does a Lawyer, like you, Mr. Gardner,
need to be told by a poor weak woman, like me,
afflicted with “a badge of humiliation aud d s
gracc," that tho necessity of the Governor’s con
currence does not deprivo tho Legislature of all
wise in the making of laws ?
In another placo tho Constitutionalist says:
" Did not the Law, in Us sweeping exclusion, de
prive of the privilege of assisting to make laws,
men who possessed every other qualification for
the task except money ?” By usiDg the word
“laws,” absolutely and withont qualification, ho
leads the general reader to imagine they wore de
prived of tho power of assisting in general legisla
tion Does a Lawyer not know better the impor
tance of exaot language, on suclt subjects, er does
Mr. Gardner intend the general reader to draw
that inference ? There is a certain ambignity in
the nse of the word “ Aldermen,” whieh has been
made nso of to mislead peopio as to this Law.
Every general reader understands it to refer to
Common Councilmen, who, in most cities, are
called Aldermen. I have seen reports of Council
in Angusta, where tho Council were all so called.
Tho Algerine Law introduced a new signification,
applying the word only to the two it created, and
oaliing tho others Councilmen. Mr. Gardner uses
the word withont the slightest explanation of it—
thus loading people into the impression it referred
to all the Council, and that a property qualification
was necessary for all the voters and all the Conn
ed. I doubt not nine-tenths of his readers in
Georgia so understand it, aud he, as a man of
sense, ought to know that they do. The Johnson
papers have, sevetal of them, published the second
section of the Algerine Law, and called it the law,
loaving us to infer it was the whole law. They left
out that part which was essontial to the under
standing of that word “Aldermen,” the part
which explained it. I am possibly wrong, but I
have a strong impression they copied it from the
Constitutionalist. All this may be the trnth, but
ia it the whole trnth!
The Algerine Law confers a protective vote on
some, which it does not on others who do not need
iL While every man needs and Is entitled to the
protection of a vote in matters where he is inter
ested, the property holder needs it in some particu
lars in which others do not; not because wealth is
a distinction which outweighs intelligence and
character, and other shining personal traits, but
because, while intelligence and character are in
alienable advantages, property is alienable—can be
taken or voted away from its proper owner. The
Socialist can say property te theft, but he cannot
say intelligence is theft, character is theft. He
cannot vote them away, so they need no such pro
tection.
No free government which did not protect pro
perty ever stood. Every honest and industrious
man, whether he advocates its protection or not,
te interested in it, because, though he may not now
possess property, that honesty and industry give
him a prospect of possessing some small property
for which he will need protection. “ The volun
teers, the hard working firemen, the worthy me
chanics, who toil at bench and shop-board, or an
vil and forge, the physicians and lawysrs, mer
chants, merchants clerks, book keepers, bank offi
cers and directors, school teachers and clergymen,”
whose cause the Constitutionalist so feelingly ad
vocates, are all thus interested in it, because they
are all toiling for that which will need its protec
tion, viz: property, not wealth, though Mr. Gard
ner, with his novel confusien of terms, seems to
consider property and wealth synonymous. He
who possesses the small property of a thousand
dollars is, in the exaggerating vision of the Con
stitutionalist, a man of colossal wealth. This is no
question of wealth, though the Constitutionalist
so studiously represents it as such, byway of
making the honest poor believe they are not inter
eeted in the tew personally. They may not expect
to be wealthy, bnt they may nevertheless toil for
property. Ido not accuse the Constutionaliet of
not understanding the meaning of words. The
fault te evidently not in his head, forthere's pla’n
ly “ method in this madness.” It te as well to say
that more than half the property in the connty is in
the hands of poor men. The Constitutionalist
tells of some rich mcD, without s good quality, on
whom the Algerine Law conferred a vote. Be
cause rich men are unworthy is no reason the poor
should suffer their property to be plundered. Toe
vote was not conferred to honor, but to protect
them. I have not yet heard of any body so ab
surd as to think a vote a badge of honor, bnt the
Constitutionalist. The right of toting is about as
much a badge of honor as the right of locking one’s
door. Both are intended simply as protections.
Who is the advocate of a privileged class, Mr. Gard
ner, who admits the thing he wishes conferred on
certain persons a badge of honor, or the property
holders who attach no sneh ridiculous importance
to the thing, bnt wish it simply as a protection.
If it is a mere mark of honor, a privilege—in the
name of consistency let us abolish the thing alto
gether, in a country opposed to privileges; or if
it be desirable to confer marks of honor on the
honest and intelligent, pray let os have a legion
of honor for their benefit, and not do to by giving
them power over other people’s property.
When the Constitutionalist says, in this country
wealth is constantly changing hands, and the poor
, becoming property hitd.ru, he gives the w
reason why mi industrious people are interested
a law which protects property. Jndxe Johnson,
a much bccapitalled aud italicised speech, o.m
mends universal suffrage as giving all men a so
of “partnership concern” in the Govemmen
If he moans “partnership” in making the lav
which concern them, the Algerine Law does m
take that away; but if he means “partnership
in other people’s property, they aro not entitled t
i that. Byway of fastening ou his opponents tfa
charge of making poverty a crime, the Const itn
tionalist proves most conclusively it is not by ooi
1 octing a list of great men who were not wealthy
All very true, doubtless, and the only fault to b
found with it is, it has nothing whatever to do wit)
the subject, for nobody argued the contrary—w,
were talking of wealth. When the Constitutional
ist indulges in little episodical excursions into his
tory, it should rememember that Blair’s Shetorii
tells us the rules of good composition require that
episodes shoald have some connection with tlu
main subject. As, however, it proves nothing by
its erruditios, we imagine it was simply a pleasure
excursion. A great many poor men have been
talented and good, doubtless, there are mountains
in Switzerland, indisputably, and there arc also
without doubt churches in Rome, aud the conclu
sion that therefore property holders should not he
protected, flows about as much from one as the
other of theso irrefutable and impregnable foci.-.
When the Constitutionalist drew such a touching
picture of the “ galled and wounded ” “pride and
nanly sensibilities ” of thoso who wunt to control
other people's .property, it should have hod com
passion on my feelings, and remember I am not
made ct such stern stuffs? gentlemen ure. “Mine
eyes smell onions, I shall weep anon.” Oh, Mr.
Editor, my feelings are so harrowed by the idea oi
those noble, sensitive creatures, being “stung to
the heart’s core, ” that lam actually airald to walk
up Broad street, for fear of meeting some of those
looks of reproachful wretchedness. I shall never
complain if thcCity Fathers tax us to present every
one of these noble creatures with an embroidered
handkerchief, such as should wipe away the tears
of wounded sensibility.
Thoexampleoftho Constitutionalist is cantagcons,
Mr. Editor. I feol like winding up with a h-storl
cal excursion myself, but sinco I mean to obey
rhetorical rules, I will sec what history say? as to
characters who have endoavored to make political
capita!, by representing themselves as the silo
friends of tho poor, which Judge Johnson’s advo
cates do. We need not go so far back as Lycur
gus to find a family whieh through long gener
ations did this very thing. When tiro Casscts
reigned in Franco there was a younger branch of
the Royal Family, called tho House of Orleans, en
titled to the crown in default of the Cossets. From
tho notorious K gent Duke of Orleans down, they
were suspected of wishing to dethrone thoCassets.
To compass this they fomented tire French revo
lution and courted tho people, biro of them was
styled tho King of Paris, from bis influence with
the peopio. At tho time of the revolution tho fa
ther of Louis Philip was the head of the family ;
He took tho name of Eglite (equality,) to please
the people, he deserted his order and his family,
and arrayed himselfamong the lowest demagogues.
No man on record over descended lower to pieaso
the people, but he could not get rid of the haunt
ing idea, that after all they did not believe his pro
fessions of friendship. To convince them com
pletely he votod for the death of his innocont con
sin, the amiablo and unoffending Louis XVI., but I
this outrage of decency only disgusted, withont
convincing his revolutionary associates, and at last I
-Ley guillotined him for an aristocrat. After long
rears of aspirations for the Crown, the Orleans fa- I
nily at length obtained it in the person of Louis I
F’hillippe. Now, if ever, was the time to prove
hat the family had not merely been seeking their
>wn advancement, in wooing tho peopio for so
nany years. The dethronement of Louis Phillippe,
m account of his restrictions on liberty, is an
ivent fresh in the'memory of all.
I have done, Mr. Editor. Since tho Editor of
ho Constitutionalist finds it so difficult to keep his
rratic pen to the subjeot, ho is talking on, and has
uch a convenient way of taking refuge from argn
nent in impregnable irrelevances, it may bo as
roll to say that my arguments, and not my sex, uf
ect the merits of the ease. Justitia.
To the Voters of the Eighth District.
Pine View, Jefferson Co., Sept. Bth, 1858.
Mr. Editor :—As I am not advised of a District
nomination for a candidate to serve us a member
of Congress for the Eighth Congressional District,
in the State of Goorgia, I hereby declare myself a
Candidate for that office, and would say to the vo
ters of the said District, that I do not enter the
field as a Scott man, or us u Piorce man, or as a
Webster man, bnt as a Republican of tho Union
Whig party, one of the conservative citizens of
Goorgia, agreeing generally, with the principles
laid down by that portion of my follow-citizens of
the State, who assembled at Milledgevillo on the
22d day of June last, and with whom I had the
honor to act in nominating the Hon. Charles J
Jenkins, aa a candidate for Governor.
I adopt as my motto the promotion of “the
moral, intellectual, and social interests of the peo
ple of Georgia,” as objects of paramount considera
tion, and I know of no better moans of attaining
them, than by tho dissemination of the holy scrip
tures, encouraging the Temperance Reform, by
suitable legislative enactments, by increasing tho
number, and elevating the character of common
s ihoois, and by electiug honest and reliable men
t > our Legislatures, Stato and Federal, and by re
j c’ing selfish time-serving men, who seek soli at
tho risk of constituency or country.

the crops of corn are most bountiful, and the cot
ton crop ia promising boyond preoedent. He
thinks corn this fall, in the counties allndcd to,
will scarcely command over a bit p< r bushel, ana
the yield of cotton will by far exceed that of any
former year. This will bo gratifying nows to emi

From the Upper Missouri.
By the arrival of the steamer St. Anjje at St.
Louis, the Republican has received somo interest
inf; accounts.
The St Anfre was chartered to take nptho sup
plies to the trading posts of Messrs. Harvey &
Primeau, of the St. Louis FurCompuny, on the
Upper Missouri. She left St. Louis on the 7th of
July last, and has made the trip in very fair timo.
In her upward trip she had freights for the supply
of the Grosventres, Rees, Assinaboines, and
Bla'kfoet Indians. The river is reported in u
good stage.
The boat left Fart Union ou her return on the
Btb of August. Governor Stephens, who is in
charge of the survey of the Northern route to tho
Pacific for a railroad, had arrived at the mouth
of the Yellow Stone a few days previous and had
departed on his farther journey to the Pacific or
Territory of Washington. Tho party were pro
gressing rapidly and getting along very satisfac
torily. ‘
The St. Ange brought down as passengers, Capt.
F. 8. Everett, bearer of despatches from Gov. Ste
yens to the Department at Washington, and some
eight employees of the North Pacific railroad ex
ploration party, whose term of service had expired
at the k ellow Stone, or who, from bad health, did
not deem it prudent to croes the mountains at so
late a date.
Gov. Stephens was to have left on the Bth of
August for Fort Benton. He had divided his
command into two parties—one under the direc
tion of Lieut. Donefson, to take the most northerly
route, passing near the 49th parallel of latitude.
The other under the command of Lieut. Grover
to take the usual river route. Both parties to meet
at Fort Union.
From feanta Fe.
By the Western mail, which arrived at St. Louis
on the 28th ult., letters and papers to the Soth of
July were received from Santa Fe. We take the
following from the intelligence published in the
St. Louis papers:
An unsuccessful attempt was made in the early
pari of J nly to organise the Democratic party in the
Territory.
On the 4th ofjulyaball was given at the Ex
change which broke np in a fight between the
Mexicans and Americans,in which Mr. John Fin
negau was killed hy a pistol Bhot. Mr. Finnegan
was a blacksmith who had resided five or six years
in Santa Fc, and was esteemed a useful, worthy
and respectable oi.iaen. ne was a native of Cum
berland, Md., where bis mother now resides. Ig-
Daeio Tapia and three others were arrested lor the
offeuce, and the examination lasted several days.
They were committed to jail, the courtdetermining
that the case was not a bailable one. This occur
rence took place at a ball, in which both Mexicans
and Americans were participating. A Mexican at
tempted to disturb the harmony of the party and
he was put out of the room. He returned at the
head of a party of his friends, and was again put
out. They staned off to collect a larger force, and
most of the Americans left for the purpoee of es
corting the females home, and others to procure
military assistance. Meanwhile, the Exchange
was attacked by an armed mob, the windows of
the ball room broken in, and the bar entered by
men armed with pistols. An indiscriminate firing
was commenced upon all its occupants, and a like
firing if to the ball room from the streets, in tbs
course of which John Finnegan was killed.
A greet many people are apt to think that men
whi are always busy with their hands are the only
useful folks in the world, and very frequently
underrate people who exhibits different mind, but
who are, at the same time quite as worthy of re
spect and admiration as the most hard-working of
their fellows. The world is made up, necessarily,
of more than one kind of people—some must work
with their minds, and live by their wiu, while
others work with their hands, and live “by the
•WMt of tho brow." —(RuMannooga Advtrtiur.

OBITUARY.
Mrs ARIANA A. HUDSON was the daughter of Rev.
Jam sJ. and Mrs. W. E. Harris, of Glenviile, Ala. She
was born on the 27th of Feb., 1833, was married to Dr. N.
L. Hudson April Bd, ISSJ, and (Led, in Hancock county,
Ga., on the 'iM o' August last.
Being the child of pkm* parents, she was in early life
Uiiffht the principles and practices of religion. The fruits
of this early
hibited in her hootfni conversion in the 14th year cf her
age. Thus early she attached herself to the Baptist
Church, (to which her parents belonged,) and m*inteunrd
this connection through life. Kar’y religious training,
change ofhea't, and couai-tent Church-membership wou'd
encourage u» to hope for the be't, if she had died suddenly.
But th a hope receivesstrerg’h a: d es'ab)i«hroent frem the
testimony which she bore duringhenastprotractedil ness,
flhe was approached on the subject of death—t *.’ked with

frith in the atonement made by our lord and Saviour,
Jesus Chri t. Her ca ! m, Christian resignation—thru ugh
three months’sickness— «nd h*-r pat : ent,<heerful submis

tate. Her last words were, “Blets the L rd.” L» ; t the

of the late Edmund J Rogers, of New York, and mother
of the Rev. E P. Regers, of this city, in the sixty-third
year of her age.
For more than forty years a member o' the Church o*
Christ, her consistent, cheerful and txa'ted piety, not only
testified to the eaiity of religion, bat rendered i- eminent
ly attractive. Longvea’s of bodily suffering and many
afflicting bereavemtnt*, only a etned to reflne and purify
the go'.d.and reveal more of the Refiner’s image. Through
a protracted and painful illness, she maintained an ud

the righteous, and died hio d alh. To her surviving
friends her memory will be precious, while her orphan
children wil ever rise up and call her Bleb. zd.

TR.DK AND BUSINESS.—Sa the business season ap
proach f. we ace evident tigna among onr Merchants of an
improvement in trade. Already tome merchants era In,
making purchases, and as onr deulers are daily adding to
their stocks, the prospect of a good season's business is very
Battering.
GROCERIES.—The operations la Groceries, though fair,
are not large. The stocks are rapidly accumulating and
will soon be heavy. In Coffee there baa been a decided
advance during the week, und a alight improvement in re
fined Sugars. In the other leading articles we note n 0
change. Our quotations afford a fair index or pricee.
PROVISIONS.—The demand for Bacon continuee good
and prices are fully sustained. The market is well supplied.
Flour has undergone no change.
GRAIN.-The demand for Corn is limited to the imme
diate wants of consumers, and prices are barely sustained.
Wheat continues in demand at our quotations.
BAGGING AND ROPE are both in fair demand. Rope
has advanced.
EXCHANGE.—'The rate forOhecks on the North oon
tinu s at J 4 $ cent premium.
FREIGHTS.—The late rains have given ns a very high
river, which may continue good for ths season. Freights
are unchanged.
Foreign Market*.
LIVERPOOL, August 26.—Little alteration has occurred
in the Cotton market during the week. A moderate de
mand daily continues, and the scarcity of qualities
ranging as high as fully middling and higher, seems
rather to increase. The maior pari of the recent arrivals
consi-ts ol inferior descriptions, and as the quantity of
those already on hand was before disproportionate, ad*
ditioral receipts of the same kinds impart a still further
dullness aud depression to these particular sorts. Pear,
rora »he unsettled nature of the weathrr, has now taken
the place «>f that before arising from the unsatisfactory
state of European politics, and the apprehension of au
unc rtuin and unproductive harvest at home, and differ
ent parts of the continent, whereby the prices of grain
are, and still may be, greatly enhanced, creates caution
in the Cotton-trading community, so that, under this
feeling, if any change has occurred during the week, it
has been in favor of the buyers, especially in the ordinary
•»nd very common descriptb ns which offer so plentifully.
The business this week, exclusive of 0.000 bales to-day
with an unchanged market, amounts to 81,710 bales, o r
which 4,241 bales have been taken on speculation, 4,880
for export, and 2J,*9i> bale- f r consumption. The quo
• ations are: F »ir Uplands, 6X i Fair Mobiles, 6X: Fair
Orleans 7d. $ lb.
In our Corn market this week, a large business In
Wheat and Flour has been dally transacted at rapidly im
proving rates. Considerable sales have been making for
export to the near continental ports, and speculators and
so a fair extent consumers also, have contributed by ihelr
purchases to keep up prices, and take off the large sup
plies, which, under other circumstance*, could not but
have exercised a very depressing influerce upon the
market. Indian Corn is held with increased firmness,
hut the transactions continue limited. To-day’s market
was well attended, aud a larger business was transacted
in Wheat and Flour, by the consumer!, who
bought extensively at the extreme of their quotations.
Speculators likewise operated freely, and altogether trade
wa* very active at an advance since this day week of
bushel, and of Is. 6@2s. $ bbl.; Indian Corn
ivint likewise be quoted l ather dearer, but business not
extensive.
HAVRE, Aug. 27—The Cotton market remains quiet,
w th sale* of the week of 2,f9S b*les, against 5/ 00 im
ports, 1 avinu a u?o;k of 1 ,960 bales. Brokers had not
titered her quota Mons, although actual rates on some
r*‘d -s w.*ie 6 c. to lfr. lower, but holdira showed no dis
position to f rce sales. Coffee in limited demand, but
prices supporttd.
NEW-YOBIC, Sept. 10,1 P. M.—The flour market open*
ert without improvement, but was rather flrmer toward
the cluae. Trie sales are 10,000 bbls. at $5,5< ®fl,fo% for
