Anderson was e lected Justice of the Inferior Court of Wilkes county, at the election on Tuesday last. No opposition. (on gress. Mr. Adams has kept the House in agita tion for some days by the presentation of |l Abolition petitions. Among the rest was lone from some citizens of Massachusetts ■ M aying for a Dissolution of the Union. l i A meeting of the members from slave aiding States was held, and Mr. Marshall I p Kentucky, was appointed to present to the Ijljlouse resolutions censuring the conduct of I ,lr. Adams. The old agitator fought man ly f-Bly against the adoption of the resolutions, Hj;jut a motion to lay them on the table was ■ injected by a vote of 100 to 90. At the last ij ccounts they were still in discussion. The BFjdlowing are the Resolutions: 111 “ Whereas the Federal Constitution is a ||| Permanent form of Government and ofper- Fi petual obligation, until altered or modified the mode pointed out by that instrument, Rftind the members of this House, deriving j l,their political character and powers from I’ |he same, are sworn to support it, and the f dissolution of the Union necessarily implies | I the destruction of that instrument, the over, ■throw of the American Republic, and the ■extinction of our national existence : A mproposition, therefore, to the Representa- Iltives of the people, to dissolve the organic M law framed by their constituents, and to /■support which they are commanded by [I those constituents to be sworn, before they I can enter upon the execution of the politi- E ca l powers created by it, and entrusted to K them, is a high breach of privilege, a cott ■ tempt offered to this House, a direct propo- j. sition to the Legislature and each member E of it, to commit perjury ; and involves, ne -1 cessarily, in its execution and its conse | quenccs, the destruction of our country and the crime of high treason. Resolved , therefore, That the Hon. John l Q. Adams, a member from Massachusetts, in presenting for the consideration of the . House of Representatives of the United I States, a petition praying the dissolution of the Union, has offered the deepest indignity to the House of which he is a member ; an insult to the people of the United States, of which that House is the legislative organ ; and will, if this outrage be permitted to pass unrebuked and unpunished, have disgraced his country, through their Representatives, in the eyes of the whole world. Resolved, further, That the aforesaid John Q. Adams, for this insult, the first of the kind ever offered to the Government, and for the wound which he has permitted to be aimed, through his instrumentality, at the Constitution and existence of his coun try, the peace, the security, and liberty of the people of these States, might well be held to merit expulsion from the national councils ; and the House deem it an act of ,grace and mercy, when they only inflict upon him their severest censure for conduct so utterly unworthy of his past relations to the State, and his present position. This they hereby do for the maintenance of their own purity and dignity ; for the rest, they I turn him over to his own conscience and the indignation of all true American citi zens.” The Senate, in Committee of the Whole, had the bill for the repeal ofthe Bankrupt Law under consideration. Mr. Berrien had made a powerful and eloquent argument a gainst the repeal. The Senate is over whelmed with petitions on the subject from all parts of the country. It seems to be the general opinion that the repeal hill will be lost by a majority of one, unless Mi. Gulin bert gets to Washington, and he, not havinr yet learned that Congress is in session, is still absent, and we hope will remain so untP th\ linal question is taken on the bankrupt ,aw- Mr. Clay’s resolutions proposing amend ments of the Constitution were taken up in the Senate, on the 24th, ami-dffir some dis cussion their farther consideration was post poned for a week. Si.MsUI I*ox in Miliedgcvillc. We have received the following hand, •till from Milledgeville, giving notice ofa ease of the Small Fox in that city. There have been several cases in and near that place during the past month or two: Council Chamber, J January 31st, 1843. $ The Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Milledgeville, with regret, are compelled to announce a case of Small-Pox, as having, to day, exhibited itseli within this place, in the person ot a Negro girl, the property of Mrs. Carnes. The case is on Jcfi’erson-st. It is perhaps unnecessary to urge upon the citizens o! Milledgeville, the utmost pre caution in reference to their children and slaves, so as to prevent the spread of this loathsome contagion. Let Vaccination be forthwith resorted to. A Committee of Health, consisting of the Physicians of the j City, have been appointed, and such mea sures of prevention as are within the com petency of the municipal authority, has been promptly resorted to. 1\ LRSON 1,. HARRIS, Mayor. From the Macon Messenger. A mcetingofthe Stockholders of the Mon roe Rail Road Bank, was held in this place agreeable to public notice, on Tuesday morning. The meeting was large, eonsis ting of some 300 Stockholders. A commit tee was appointed to make an examination of the condition of the Bank, and a report was made setting forth the state of the Bank its assets and liabilities. The report has been the subject of much street talk, but we have not seen it and therefore can say nothing of it. We learn informally—that the liabilities of the Bank are in round num ber $700,000. One hundred and seventy five thousand of which, are deposits and un claimed devidends, leaving a circulation of bills, road certificates and bonds, of five hundred and thirty odd thousand dollars. I he assets exclusive of the road are about $500,000, $300,000 of which it is caleula ted are unavailable. The meeting elected the following gentlemen to control the in stitution for the ensuing year. JOSEPH DAY, President. Directors, T. G. Holt, J. G. Moore, Jas. Smith, St Lanier, Jno. D. Winn, and John Daley. Thirty Negroes belonging to Gen. Grif fin, of various ages and value, and assigned by him for the payment of his stock in the Monroe Rail Road Bank, were sold yester day at public outcry- They brought $27.- j 010, payable in Monroe Rail Road money, j P rom the result of the sale, the value of | the money may be estimated as worth 33 1-3 per cent. The following is extracted from a letter of the N. York correspondent of the Nation al Intelligencer, dated 22d inst. A most extraordinary forgery was perpe trated on the Bank of America yesterday. A man whose name is not known, or, if known, is not given, stepped up to the coun ter, and held a conversation with Mr. Thompson, the cashier of that institution, and whilst doing so, handed a check to the paying teller, purpotirigto be drawn by Mr. Thompson himself. The teller, of course did not suspect any thing wrong under the circumstances, and therefore paid the check which was drawn for the sum of $5,000. He then, after talking a few moments long er, very quietly retired. The forgery was not detected till some time after the man had left the bank. More Excitement, on the Border. —From ihe Niagara Chronicle and the Woodstock Herald, we have information of an attack from the American side on H. M. steamers Toronto and Minos, now lying at Dunville. From an authentic source the former paper j received the following statement of the cir cumstances out of which all those rumors j have arisen. A despatch has been received | from our miuister at Washington, convev- j ing intelligence received by him from the j American Government, to the effect that 300 of the vagabonds calling themselves ‘patriots’ were about to leave St. Clear with the intention of destroying the steamers a bove mentioned, and that the attack was fixed to take place to-morrow. In conse quence of this information, three companies of the 07th regiment and a detachment of the 3d battalion, have been despatched to the scene of action. “None of vour hum- \ hug, sir!” The New York correspondent of the Washington Independent, writes as follows of Mr. Clay : An attempt has been made to impugn the motives of Mr. Clay in his general acts this Session. The most attrocious of all charges against him by the Locofbco press, is that he is secretly urging the repeal of j the Bankrupt Act. No man can point to a dishonorable act of Henry Clay, and to suppose that now take clandes tine means to defeat the measure which he so long advocated, is taking it for granted that he can be guilty of an unworthy act, and wrongs that high-principled patriot most foully. We shall not live to seethe day when he will swerve from the strict path of honor and political integritv. Stale Indebtedness. —From a table on this subject, it appears that the States ofthe U nion are indebtNl more than two hundred millions ot dollars. And if the borrower be ’ 3 servant of the lender, only six are ’ viz.: Vermont. New Ha tripwire, Con /•-•oticut, Rhode-Island, Delaware, and North Carolina. The debt of South Caro lina is stated at $3,764,000, of Georgia $500,000, and Alabama $10,856,556, and of Pennsylvania $37,723,000. Where the debts are comparatively small, and the moral character ofthe people is elevated, there will be no talk of repudiation. But if these debts should be suffered to increase, the time may come when repudiation will be a popular measure. The clanger from this source needs guarding. THE TAX LAW OF 1840. “ It is understood that the Governor will j not sign the Bill passed at the last session of |th Legislature, for tho reduction ofTaxes.” So says one of tin McDonald presses, and we suppose he knows what he says. Now hear the worthy Loco’s soliloquy, after the announcement of this scrap of j ne nvs : “ We know the people of Georgia ; wo \ know the public spirit which animates j them ; and we are convinced of their patri- I otism. They will not condemn ; they will praise the Governor for withholding his I sanction to the tax bill; and we are sure that the same praise would have been bus towed, if even they were to pay more taxes than by the act oi’ 1840. The taxes paid last year according to that act, were mode rate, as compared with the taxes which the people of other States have had to pay, and j will have to pay hereafter; and though much embarrassment prevails, and a con siderable pressure is felt, yet the citizens oi Georgia will cheerfully make some sac rifices, in order to restore confidence in our ample means to discharge all our engage ments, and to bring the immense resources of Georgia to hear on all measures calcula ted to relievo the community from the dis tress felt everywhere, and to impart pros perity, contentment and happiness to every fire-side. — Constitutionalist. Was ever such impudence manifested since the fiood ? Only sou r short months ago, the Whigs who passed that law were denounced for their extravagance, their op pression and tyranny, by every Loco-foco stump speaker, and we believe by every press of their party in the Stale. The odi ous tax law’ —the “ outrageous tax law” —the “ ruinous tax law”—were the every day, common-place words of reproach with which the Whigs were driven from the le gislative councils of the ‘State.’ Upon this hobby the Locos rode into the power, Governor and all, and hut for the promises of relic! they made—pledges to repeal that law, and to reduce those taxes—we have no thought they could have been elected. Yet now we are told that the taxes “ were moderate,” and the people will sustain the Governor in his refusal to sign the- bill to reduce them !! Well, we believe it; and think it very probable they would “ sustain the Governor” if he should see proper to appropriate every cent of them in such a way as to make it necessary to dotr.ble tax them next year. The truth is, any matt arrived at years of discretion, who could he made to believe that McDonald or his party were in earnest in their professions of a desire to relieve the people, is prepared !to believe any other yarn, and to sustain the I Governor in any thing he asks. Columbus Entmtirer. THE TIMES. There is one advantage in the present state of suffering which exists front Louis iana to New \ork, and that is, that wisdom may be drawn from it, if people will but ponder upon its causes. Demtigoguism may get up its humbugs, which for the mo ment delude the mass, but the hand of time sifts truth from error and exposes th e defor mity of that opinion which acts ujton the passions but not upon common sense- The catch-words or signs of hickory poles and log cabins, are simple, innocent rallying points, but those insidious doctrines which are from time to time raised up to further the ends of designing politicians, are not | thus harmless. j In another column is a letter from a cor , respondent in New-Orleans, which shows i that a worse state of things exist there than in 1837. Produce is so abundant as not ■to find sale at any price. How different is this from the year 1835 and 1836, when ten ! millions of dollars in specie were carried abroad to buy Wheat. And isa.il this with -1 out cause? This running to extremes is J doubtless the fault of the people themselves | but whence had they the impulse ? Was it I not from the false state of things: set in mo tion by reckless politicians? Was it not i the creation ofhundreds of banks by the An ti Bank party which destroyed the Nation al Currency and admitted the consequent expansion of paper issues based upon noth ing? Did not the facility of obtaining this currency which cost nothing, turn our na tion intoanation ofdebtors and speculators? Did not the farmer leave his plough to mark his fields into town lots? And froth thence sprung that destructive importation of Corn into an agricultural country. The people I have been awakened from their dreams of ; golden visions by stern realities and they j are feeling palpably and vividly, “hard times.” Will they not considerthe past and learn from it ? will they not see how they have been misled and learn wariness ? We hope so. If they doubt the truth of our posi tion, that the Anti-National Bank and State Bank party, has brought this upon them, let them see the position of old Massachu setts, one of the very few states that did not “bow the pliant knee” to Jacksonism, whose currency was kept out of the reach of dem agogueism. See her at this moment mar ching on to greatness, with no complaints issuing from the breasts of her farmers and manufacturers. There is another point too, to which we may call the attention of reflecting persons and it is, to the fact that the present bad state of things exists cotemporarily with the lowest scale of duties existing since 1820. Is there nothing in this? Let all reflect upon the fact that we have but little foreign market for our vast agricultural products except cotton, and that is very much limi ted when compared with the production.— Let all consider that while the markets of Europe are closed in a great degree by high duties to our tobacco, rice and flour, we are constantly taking their manufactu res at 26 per cent duties, and if we cannot pay in produce, must pay in specie. How long can this be sustained? Would it not be better to divert more of our labor from agriculture to manufactures and mining, and supply our home market, instead of im porting? We ask the consideration of the fact from all, that if in agriculture there is over production, it is not better to divert our labor to other branches, and what can bet ter be done than manufacturing? Why should Georgia import corn from herneigh bois ? To the reproach ofour Suite be it said, that even our cabbages have to he brought from the North, and even tho shad j that swim in our rivers are caught by the hands who come a thousand miles to spend | a few weeks in the business.— Savannah Republican. From the London Times. It gives us much pleasure to announce that the Right Hon. Lord Asburton, at the request of Her Majesty’s government, is ü bout to proceed to the United States on a special mission, with tho object of settling all existing differences between that coun try and our own. His Lordship, who will sail in a few weeks, had been asked to un dertake this service, and had consented to do so, before the President’s Message hud been received, so that the mission in ques tion, whatever be its character or results, has been had recourse to, wholly irrespect ive of any thing contained or omitted in that document. The step itself, we think, is a wise one, inasmuch as the introduction of new elements of irritation centingent upon further delay, might eventually render an amicable adjustment unattainable, and in volve both countries in all the horrors of war. I trgtnia Oak. —Most of the ships that have been built in Maine the past season, \ have been built of Virginia Oak. Most of | this Oak has been brought from the Rappa- \ bannock river; and has cost builders less | than what timber from New England would i have cost. The Maine lumber men, sev eral years since, opened an active business j in cutting the pines of Georgia ; and now Biey have commenced operations on the Oaks of Virginia. i he cultivation ofCotton in the East In- j dies, on the American system, it is said is ! proceeding most satisfactorily. One of the j superintendents says, “ It only requires the means, constant application, decision, in dustry, and perseverance, to make this beautiful and productive country the largest producer of cotton in the world.” PROFITABLE FARMING. The question is often asked, how can far ming be made profitable ? I answer by li beral manuring, deep and thorough plough ing; and clean culture. L will venture to affirm, without fear of contradiction, that I no instance can be cited, where a farmer who has manured his grounds highly, made a judicious use of the plough, and cultiva ted with care, has failed to receive an am ple remuneration for the amount invested ; nay more, that he has not received a great er advance upon his outlay, than the aver age profit derived from any other business j One great difficulty is, that most farmers i seem not to be aware of the fact, that the i greater the outlay, to a reasonable extent, j when skilfully applied, the greater will be j the profit; they therefore manure sparing ly, plough shallow, and the consequence is, get poorly paid for their labor. This has raised a prejudice and given a disrelish to the business of farming, especially among those who are in the habit and are desirous of realizing something more from their oc cupation than a naked return ofthe amount expended. The farmer who is so sparing of his ma nure that he can get but thirty bushels of corn from an acre, gets barely enough to pay him for the expense of cultivation, and in addition to this, by the ordinary method of ploughing, his field; at each successive j rotation, is deteriorating, his crops become , less, and in a few years he finds he must a bandon his exhausted and worn-out fields | to seek a subsistence for himself and family in some other business, or in some other re gion, where there the hand of man has been less wasteful of the bounties of nature. Instead, then, of his scanty manuring of ten cart-loads to the acre, which will give him but thirty bushels of corn, let him apply thirty loads. This additional twenty loads at the usual price of manure in this part of the country, will cost him thirty dollars.— | But he now, instead of thirty bushels of corn, gets sixty bushels, and the increased quantity of fodder will more than pay for the excess of labor required in cultivating and harvesting the large crop over that of . the small one. He has then added thirty I bushels of corn to his crop by means of the , twenty loads of manure, which at the usual I price of one dollar per bushel, payshim in the first crop of his extra outlay.— E. Phin ney. CLAIMS OF WOMEN. , I The fickleness of woman is the result of j the carelessness of man ; tor even in their haughtiest moods they can be easily sub dued by kindness. That is their legal claim upon the rougher sex, who, after all, arc ever attached to her, even when they appear most alienated from the fervor of her affections. As it is most natural, so it brings to us a vision of heaven when two fond hearts glide through the world in lov ingness together ; and every’ wedded pair might be that happy couple did they but bear each others burdens, and strive with half the zeal they sometimes exert to make each other miserable, to contribute to their mutual happiness. As woman is the mother of the world, so she should be the in structress—the fountain of wisdom as of pleasure ; and she who is most deeply read in the history of her duties will make the best companion, and the truest and fondest wife, though a spark of beauty never .ligh ted up her cheek, nor a jewel glistened in her hair. It is the native grace, the r#eh ness of her modesty, the worth and excel lence of her temper, that makes her what she is—and what Nature cries’ aloud she will ever remain, the best and ’ruest friend of man!— Chamber’s London Journal. The cheerful heart, like the kaleide scope, causes most discordant materials to arrange themselves into harmony A beauty. We suppose that the Loco-Foeos abroad I will now stigmatize the demolished hanking I houses of Lougee & Moore, in Cincinnati | and Louisville, as “ Whig shinplaster shop. . W can state, however, that both Lougee and Moore are first-rate J. co-Fo. cos. Lougee, in particular, is a real Lo- 1 co Foco veteran. He came here from Al bany. New York ; and wo have a thousand times heard him boast, that, while there, he was admitted to all the meetings and secrets : of the Albany Regency. Oh how i: al ways seemed to do his heart good to dwell upon the cherished recollections of his inti macy with Van Buren, Murcy, Croswell, Flagg, Knower, and all tho rest of the dis. tinguished Loco-Foco regents at New- 1 York’s capitol! Loud were Lougee’s rejoicings over the downful of the United States Bank. “Now,” ! said he, “you will have a chance to witness the operation of the genuine principles of Democratic Banking.” We have witnes-j sed it.— Louisville Journal. A Singular Will. —A tavern keepe r in 1 Andover, Vt., died a few days since, lea ving property to the amount of about four | thousand dollars. During his last sickness ! when aware that his end was near, he made ; his will, distributing his property in the j following order: to four of Iris children he : gave one dollar each—to his wife half the remainder of his wealth, and to his young j est son, who is foolish, the other half. The ! four boys to come in possession of their dol i lar each in one year after his death. The j widow and youngest son, who were to pos sess the bulk of his propertv, were to have I the use of it during their iives, and after j their decease, the remainder was to be put at interest for one hundred years, then to j be expended in building a school house in Brattleborough, in that State. The man is stated to have been in his right mind.—Al bany Atlas. MYSTERIOUS INDEED! | The below appeared in yester- i day’s Whig. The Fredericksburg Arena, ‘ referring to it, asks “ Who is meant ?” J “He mentioned your name!” “Whose’ name ? ’ The Arena then guesses that the j strange young gentleman is “ Semmcsf j and we ask—the “ Semitics ” that killed i Professor Davis ?
