not long to live, and I want it passed before he dies.” Wo may state, in the hopes of inducing other members to imitate this stylo of orato. ry, that Mr. Sevier’s speech was altogether successful. He gained his point without provoking a reply—and the subject passed off witliout calling forth any allusions to the abstract principles of democracy, the public lands, our revolutionary forefathers, .-'universal suffrage, free trade, liberty in general, or a war with England. — Balti more American. ‘arn ii NEwO^IAZETTi.

OCr Some enquiries ha v s been made bv subscribers to the “ Orion' ’ in this quarter why the June number of that magazine has not yet been received- We are unable to tell, it has been published and sent to other places sometime since. We presume the Editor has forgotten us, Avery Urge and enthusiastic meet ing, which resulted in the nomination of Mr. Clay fo/the Presidency, was held by the Whi<rs A New-York City on the 22d in slant. Henry Clay. Confirmed by the determination of the Whig Convention, in our design to advocate the claims of none other than HENRY CLAa to the Presidency of the United Stated, we this day place his name at the head of our columns. Much time has yet to elapse before the election, and many have feared that the ac tion taken by the Whig party of Georgia is premature ; that the enthusiasm which has shown, will not endure. We have no fears of the sort. The regard shown by the Whig party for their candidate, is no vain and empty enthusiasm ; it is founded on the memory of his long and faithful services in the cause of his country; on gratitude for his self-sacrificing devotion, and on admi ration for his high talents. Their “ zeal is according to knowledge,” and, being so,will stand the test of time. Os the meritorious services rendered by Mr. Clay to his coun try, no one can confess himself ignorant without shame—for the confession shows that he has not read some of the brightest pages of our history. Wc may expect that the favorite weap ons of the other party will be resumed and will be hurled with unrelenting malignity against our Candidate, but they will fall harmless from his spotless shield. We shall be told of his federalism ; he, a demo crat of former days, when democracy meant something far higher and holier than at pre sent. We shall be told of his abolitionism; he,who has taken a bolder stand against the fanatics than any time-serving democrat of themjfffl We shall be taunted with ter —with abandoning our princi ples. In what respect ? Because we de sire a sound currency ? Because we wish tie revenues of the country placed on a fun basis and its honor and credit preserv ed? Because we wish the exorbitant pow or o 7 the executive restricted and the will < of th? people, as expressed by their repre sentatives, (instead of the will of one man) to be the supreme law of the land ? If : such is our change of principle we may I well glory in it! Victory, in the coming contest, is as cer tain for us as any event depending on hu j man means can be. There is no leader a rnong our opponents to compare in point of talents or popularity with ours, and united under his glorious banner we can easily overcome the disjointed fragments of die op posing party. Let us prepare then for the contest, for in the eloquent words of the Whig Address, “it is time to hoist our flag, though we may reserve our fire.” 03” has borrowed our umbrel la-—who mit? Tobacco. We have received from Hon. R. L. Gam ble the Letter of the Secretary of the Trea sury prepared in answer to a resolution of the House of Representatives, directing the Secretary to transmit all the information in his possession relative to the cultivation, manufacture and consumption of Tobacco in die United States. We glean a few facts of interest from it. Much difficulty has been experienced by the Secretary in coming at any certain data as to the amount of Tobacco made and con sumed in the United States, and doubtless his estimates are generally too low. By deducting the quantity exported from that produced, the consumption is found to be about one-fourth of the production. The crop of 1840, was estimated by the census, at 185,136 hogsheads, of which wore ex ported 147,793 hhds., leaving for consump tion 37,373 lihds. Well informed persons, however, estimate the consumption at more than 75,000 hhds. which at $75 per hhd. would amount to $5.625,000 —a very fail tax for a useless luxury. There is to be added to this a lurge quan tity of foreign manufactured tobacco impor ted into and consumed :n the United States. We pay for foreign Cigars about $1,000,- 000 per vear; for foreign snuff and crude tobacco about $9,000 more. The average value of the tobacco trade lias been about $8,000,000 per annum.— Tlie exports in 1841, far exceeded in value those of any previous year, being $12,573,- 244. England takes the largest quantity, Holland, Germany and France nearly all the balance. Georgia, according to the census of 1840, produced in that year 162,894 pounds of tobacco, and the Report says “ within the last year or two, that section known as the Cliei/cee country, has produced freely— and those few who have embarked small capitals in the business, conceive tire invest ments good ones. The parcels which have sold in the Mobile market (for some it) or 20 hhds. have been recently sold there,) were considered equal to Virginia seconds, and commanded full prices. The Report contains letters from several persons relative to the policy of counter vailing duties tor the protection of'Tobacco, that staple being subject to enormous im posts in those countries to which it is elm tly exported. Those who have given their o pinions, think that no action of a retaliatory sort ought to be taken by Congress. Congress. The apportionment bill, at the last ac counts, had not received the signature of the President. The bill to continue, to the first of Au gust next, the present duties on imports, has passed both Houses, being amended in the Senate so as to suspend until after the Ist of August the distribution of the proceeds of the public lands under the Distribution Act. It is rumored, that “the Captain” will veto this bill. The appropriation bill passed the Senate with the addition of an appropriation of $100,090 for improving the navigation of the Western waters, and $19,399 for the payment of the claims of the Militia of Georgia. The House has yet to concur in these amendments before the bill can be come a law. 03“ The Democratic Convention which recently convened at Milledgeville, nomi nated the following ticket for Congress : E. J. BLACK, ofScriven. MARK A. COOPER, of Muscogee. H. L HARRALSON, of Troup. J. MiLLEN, of Chatham. JOHN B. LAMAR, of Bibb. HOWELL COBB, ofClarke. JOHN H LUMPKIN, of Floyd. WILLIAM H STILES, of Cass. MR CLAY. The New York American, which, until the nomination of Gen. Harrison, took strong ground for Gen. Scott, is now out for Mr. Clay, and closes an article upon the sub ject thus: “It is natural, therefore, —it is honora ble, and it is just, that in resolving to renew the fight, as well against open adversaries, as more dangerous,because deceitful friends —they should place in their front, and ac knowledge as their leader, the man whom circumstances have made so, independent ly of all partizan contrivances, and who is, as all will acknowledge, eminently quali fied to lead. To battle for principles Without a man in whom they are personified, is an abstraction which we have been suffering under long enough. Let us go for the principles and the man, and we shall not fail. We go, therefore, heartily for the nomi nation of Henry Clay. A Genuine Irish Bull. —Mr. McKeon, in a speech On the Apportionment Bill, in the House of Representatives, on Thursday morning of last week, uttered one of the purest pieces of native Irish. He was ma king some allusion to the Rhode Island bu siness, when Mr. Proffit objected, and in quired whether it was in order. Mr. Mc- Keon in reply extended his arms very tra gically, and in a triumphant tone said— “ The gentleman is very uneasy at this re ference. It appears, then, that a shot sent without any aim struck exactly where it. vets ‘• intended !” The House roared most c.'pfo- I sively for some minutes. HENRY CLAY. The Whig press, throughout the country with one accord, unite in proposing Henry Clay as the Republican candidate tor the office of President of the United States. And there is, along with this unanimity, a degree of heartiness which shows that the nomina tion is mado with an energy and spirit, which, already, puts us in mind of the glo rious Harrison campaign in 1640, when the issue was first distinctly mado between the people and the office-holders. N. Car olina opens the ball in August. In that State Mr. Clay has been distinctly placed in tho field, and we shall see how the peo ple respond and back him. Os course, it is too early to be making predictions, or even to think of engaging in the melee of anoth er Presidential contest, but it may be well to add, that Mr. Clay’s friends will go into the canvass, when it does commence with the most high and undoubting assurance of success, and with stronger hopes of elect ing the Mill Boy of the Slashes, than they had, at first, of elevating the Farmer of North Bend. They have a goood and just cause, and one of the greatest men and pu rest patriots that America ever produced to lead them on. Even the enemies of Henry Clay respect and admire him. They com plimented him when Gen. Harrison was chosen as the Whig candidate, by all de claring in his favor, in preference to the old chief, because they said, he was a man fit to be President. His friends will take thorn now, at their word, and endeavor, by electing him, to show that they were not wrong in their estimate of his character.— It will, however, be a warm, an exciting, and a well fought cantest in which they are to engage, and they call upon all the peo ple, at the proper time, to rise up and come to the help of the people’s man. — Alex. Ga zette. RHODE-ISLAND. We gather the following from a slip of the Providence Journal, dated Juno 21st. Tho powder bouse of Dutee Greene, Pro vidence, was broken open some time be tween Friday evening and Monday after noon, and forty-eight kegs of gunpowder, containing twidve. hundred pounds, were ■stolen therefrom. The building isofstone, with an iron door, and is of very great strength. The door was fastened by strong locks and massive bars and bolts. Four locks were broken by the thieves. Arrest. —One of the men engaged in the attempt to .- ize the Warren guns has been arrested, on a warrant issued by Justice Magouu, oi Warren. The Sheriff of Bris tol county came up with it yesterday, and the man, whose name is Wetherby, was arrested and committed. Hu will betaken to Warren for examination. The officers are on the track of others, and there is a fair prospect that a number of them may be taken, although several are believed to have fled. As near as can be ascertained, the expedition consisted of forty or fifty men ; they appeared to have come by different routes. Woonsocket, June 21, 1842.—The inten tions of tite suffrage party can be easily di vined from the movements of the past two or three weeks. Dorr intends to have his legislature meet at Chepatohet on the 4th of July, the time to which they adjourned, and hence the concentration of his efforts in that quarter. Hence the reason of the twrn cannon sent there from this village. To give you some idea of the preparations ma king here, a team with three horses was sent to Boston last Friday or Saturday night, and returned Sunday night, loaded with tents sufficient to accommodate 3 or 400 men. They were engaged yesterday in making cartridges for their cannon, in a barn on the Globe side. All these indicate an intention of concentrating their forces somewhere, probably Cbepatcbct; and, if they can muster strong enough, of making a desperate attempt on the government of the State, and if they do not succeed, or if they cannot raise sufficient force to make the at tempt, Connecticut is very handy as a “ city of refuge.” This village was prob ably first selected, as they can muster the most adherents here—hence the story of the encampment, which was undoubtedly con templated, but the unexpected opening made in their favor by the Governor of Con necticut, diverted their attention to some place nearer the borders of the highly fa vored land, and Chepatohet was selected, as being in a town where they could number more adherents than in any other of the towns in the west part of the State. It is, besides, but two hours’ ride from Woon socket, and our folks have travelled that way so often lately, both by night and day, that they can hardly miss the road, even in the darkest night. Singular Phenomenon. —On Friday eve ning, as we strolled along Main-street, our attention was called by our companion (when opposite the residence of Mr. James H. Johnston,) to what, at first sight, appear ed to be a most brilliant star. Its unusual lustre caused us to pause awhile, and pre sently we perceived it move, and gradual ly descend towards the earth, ever and a non moving to and fro, as it met with dif ferent currents of wind. At length its prox imity to the earth became so dose, that it was hid from our view by the house tops. We immediately crossed the street, and walked a short distance down a lane, in or der to watch its progress. By this time it had begun to ascend again, and gradually I rose till it was hid from our view in the clouds. To our eye it appeared like the skeleton of a fish about a foot in length— fins (of fire) being distinctly visible on its sides. How to account for the singular appear ance of this “heavenly body,” we are ut terly at a loss. Perhaps someone who has made the delightful scieuec of Astronomy a study, may solve the mystery. Norfolk Beacon. 1 Hon. Jas. A. Meriwether’s Letter. ! Washington, June 4th, 1842. To the President of the State Bights and Harrison Convention : Sir :—Allow mo to make known through you to tho Convention over which you pre side, that I do not desire to be again placed before the pcopl ? j &S il Candidate for Rep resentative in the next Congress. Tho short time 1 have been engaged in the services of that station, lias satisfied mo, that more time than can be snared from the duties of die House, during the session of Congress, is necessary to enable the representative to discharge these duties with ait enlightened fidelity to his constituents. The obligations 1 owe to my family, will not permit me to devote any portion of thp recess, (to tho ex clusion of my professional pursuits,) to po litical investigations. As such I prefer to yield to others who can, the opportunity of devoting their whole time to public engage ments. But although 1 shall be retired from tiie more active scenes of the approach, ing canvass, let me assure those with whom it is my good fortune to be politically asso ciated, that every trust and every feeling of my soul, is in unison with theirs. Though the great objects of the political revolution of 1840, have, to a very great extent, been defeated by die infidelity of one, whom we should never have suspected—and although much of the good resulting from a change of policy has been lost to our country, from I the ambition and jealousy of him who owes all that he is, to the suffrages of those whose confidence he has betrayed, yet enough lias resulted from that revolution, to show us how greatly the unsuspecting confidence of the people has been abused, and yet how much remains to bo achieved, to restore our beloved government, to its former purity and excellence. Within a few years past, the march of Federalism has been truly a iartning. Instead of a representative De mocracy, our government has been convert ed into an elective monarchy. The Exec utive has swallowed up ever)’ other De partment, and Congress lias become but a registry office, to record the edicts it pro mulgates. To accomplish this usurpation was the work of skill and perseverance.— The means which were available for its execution were the bestowal of office—the rewarding of partizan efforts, and monied patronage of the government. Faithful and efficient officers have been sacrificed to the policy—and those who would serve “the party,” have been substituted in their stead. The result lias shown large defalcations and losses of public money. Patronage, bad to be dispensed, and this required immense appropriations of money by Congress, and extravagant expenditures have resulted in the utter bankruptcy of the National Treasury. The legislation of the country, instead of being directed to the good of that country, was controlled by the selfish influences of’ “ the party’s” welfare ; and in the midst of this utter neglect, of’ higher and better in terests—the bankruptcy of the people has proven to be an inevitable consequence.— And now what measure of relief, what sys tem of finance do they propose to the coun try ? One which they assure us, if once in power again, they will establish, their boast ed Sub-treasury, which shall reduce all property to the value of a specie standard. Not content with ruining the country bv their neglect, they now propose to fasten down a system which tiiey have borrowed from the purlieus of European monarchies, which shall still aggravate our misfortunes, by rendering our ability to meet them the more questionable. Industry and economy may in time resuscitate our country, if un trammelled by foreign influences; but, if once this ruthless system shall grapple with us, poverty forever is the fate of those who have fallen the victims of misfortune— while they become servile slaves to tho ope ration of a system, which the avarice of Eu ropean aristocracy has generated to hold in bondage a people too noble to be slaves, but too abject and depressed to dare to be freemen. Here is our unfortunate condi- I tion, and here the schemes of our opponents. The one lias been induced, and the other dictated, by that spirit of infatuation which has ever marked tho reckless conduct of the Federal party. Their scheme of fi nance is but one degree removed from the odious principles of'the Alien and Sedition i Laws. Even these laws had a pretence for their enormity, in their professed regard for the public weal ; but no such apology can be offered for the Sub-treasury scheme, which impairs the fortunes of the great ag ricultural, mechanical and commercial in terests of the country, to advance those of the monied capitalist alone. This is the issue which they present to the country, and with you I stand pledged to war forever against engrafting upon the noble structure of American liberty, this odious and ruin ous scheme which royalty has concocted to rob competency of its support, industry of its earnings, and freedom of her votaries. It is the republican principles which our party have ever maintained; borrowed from tho wisdom of a Washington, a Jef ferson, a Madison, and a Crawford, which can alone save the country from the vortex of political ruin into which it is fast tend ing, by the aristocratical principles of the Federal party. And with you, and with those whom you represent, with whom 1 am connected by ties of political and patriotic j sympathy, I am prepared to stand shoulder to shoulder in the perilous conflict, and whether for weal or woe, to share with you and them one common fate. With sentiments of the highest esteem, Your obedient servant, JAMES A. MERIWETHER. ~ The Raleigh Register thus defines the. present meaning of the terms whig and de mocrat—“A whig means one who goes for equal rights, the liberty of the people, and the Union of the States. A democrat means one who is, on the outside, for the people, and,tin the inside, for himself. One, who is for the people before the election, and for j himself afterwards! ’ Ftom the National Intelligencer. GRAND INDIAN COUNCIL AT THE WEST. The Arkansas Intolligenccrof the 27th i nit., published at Van Boren, in that State, 1 I gives the following account of the recent j great meeting of the Indian Tribes': “Tho meeting of tho grand council at j Deep Fork of the North Fork, Canadian, composed of Upper and Lower Creeks', i Choctaws, Chickusaws, Seminoles, Caddoes Delawares, Shawunees, Quapaws, Sene-, cas, Pawnees, Usages, Kickupoos, Witche- 1 j taws, Kiehees, Piankeshaws, Towocken nys, and Isterhntkeys. or whiternen. “Tho Cherokees were not represented, ; although a few were present. The coun | oil, it will be seen, was formed of the dele- \ j gates of the wild western tribes, as well as I !of their mpre civilized brethren residing j I nC.'tr us. The gathering commenced on or about the 11 tit of May, four days previous | to the appointed time. The encampment presented it busy and curious scene ; here, ! ! the wild prair.'c Indians were settled around | their fires, or strolling about, displaying all : the peculiar habits dud manners anu dress ■ of their different tribes ; there, rested a por- ; lion of the red men, in a slight degree rc-j j moved from the savagei.iess of tho wilder ! | tribes, presenting the spectacle of ignorance j struggling with light in the first stages of j | its appearance ; yonder, gravely reposed j i the tribes who may comparatively be term j ed civilized, hut who yet retain many of their 1 i wild customs and vestiges of their former ! | ignorance and savage state. “The encampment was some two miles j in circumference, that space being filled with fires, temporal tenements, and persons : of the lodgers ; and tho woods and prairies, j for three or four miles, were crowded by j horses ‘hobbled,’ and feeding upon the rich I succulent herbage. Indeed, the- circumja ! cent region sustains vegetation of the most I luxuriant and even rank growth. There i probably were present during this council j twenty-five hundred persons, whoconsumed j in that time twenty thousand pounds of beef j ten barrels of flour, and meal in propor- I tion. The average height and weight were l five feet nine inches, ami one hundred and fifty pounds. “On Wednesday the council met ; the | Chocktaws, Chickasaws, and Caddoes sit j ting in front of the Creek chiefs, whose post j was in the centre of an outer side of the | council house. There were a vast con ! course in the imperturbable gravity and de j corum belonging rightly to an Indian coun. | oil. The civilized tribes now rose cn mas j sc, and, passing behind the chiefs’ seats. | formed in single file, headed by Gen. Rob j ly Mclntosh, who was followed by General ■ Taylor, U. S. Army, Captain Armstrong, i superintendent Indian Affairs, Colonel Lo \ gan, Creek agent, Captain Bliss, U. S. A., Mr. McGee, Seminole agent, Janies L. Al j exander, clerk to tho Upper Creeks, and ! IV'. J. Jacobs, clerk to the Lower Crocks, and ourself; these, coming round on to the I opposite side, gave to the other tribes a general shaking of the hands, bestowing on each individual but a single shake. After then came the Shawane-es and Delaware;;,, in like manner going round and shaking hands. When these two tribes had thus paid their salutation, Gen. Chillcy Mcln tosh rose and welcomed his white brethren. “Concluding, Gen. Roily Mclntosh an nounced to the white delegation they were now ready to hear whatever they had to say. Thus invited Captain A'anstroniq General bay lor, and Col. Logan rose and addressed them in order, through their in terpreter, Benjamin Marshall. “ The immediate reference of this eouti | cil is simply a regulation of mutual inter- j j course with thedifierent tribes, and in its | j survey grasps the subject of stolen proper- 1 j ty. An amusing mistake on the partof the i Osages led them to dupe themselves most egregiously. They supposed the council , was called for the purpose of’a general de- j livery of stolen property, chiefly horses;! and, in this belief, they brought quite a mini- I her of horses they had stolen, and deliver- ■ ed them up, expecting the same courtesy to be extend to themselves— but they were bad- : ly bitten. Possibly, they will hereafter for- i swear the rule that honesty, is the best pol icy.’ “ In conclusion we remark that the coun oil was one of peace ; no brawl, no distur bance disgraced its acts. Surely, such good deportment augurs a bright day fori the poortrodden-under-foot Indian. A star j may be rising, whose soft influential light; may yet lead them to happy knowledge ‘ and prosperous condition.” From the New- York American, 17 th inst. \ ARMY OF EMIGRANTS.
