Democratic Disregard of Law. Mr. Clay, in a recent speech in Kentuck y, gives many striking instances of disre gard of law by the Loco-foco party. lie refers particularly to the irregular admis sion of new States into the Union —to the memorable New-Jersey election—to the re fusal of tfie’ *£mocrats of the Tennessee Legislature to choose a United States’ Sen ator, that State remaining to this day un represented in the Senate of the United States—to repudiation by the Democrats of Mississippi—to the recent refusal of State Legislatures to pass laws necessary to car ry into effect the Distribution Act, and to the late Rhode-Island difficulty, fomented by the Democrats. These instances were brought up by the great orator to prove that the principles of the Locos as shown by their acts are disorganizing and dangerous to the permanency of our institutions. This disregard of law is characteristic of the whole self-styled Democratic party. — In private life we find them quiet and esti mable citizens for the most part, but as a party they are found, while professing the most ardent attachment to the Constitution, violently opposing constitutional and most beneficial lawn when there seems to be some danger to their party interests. When Brownson and other leading members of the party, a year or two since promulgated their abominable creed, not only subversive of all law, but destructive of the bonds which hold society together, their brethren in this quarter of the Union were unwilling to acknowledge that they held sentiments in common with the ultra democrats of the North, but there is reason to suppose that there is very little difference between them although the Southern wing of the demo cratic army fear openly to subscribe to the ultra creed. “ Straws show which way the wind blows,” says the proverb, and Governor McDonald may be considered one of the “ straws” which indicate the direction of democratic sentiment in this quarter. We have this Democratic Chief, under the min istry of that unchanged nullifier, Mr. Mark A. Cooper, suddenly .professing to have be come a convert to nullification, setting him self up in array against a solemn act of Congress and refusing to do his duty by convening the Legislature for the purpose of passing laws to carry into effect the pro visions of the Apportionment Bill, because that bill violates the Constitution, as he pretends to understand it; thus depriving us of our due representation in Congress, and leaving the State of Georgia, which he is sworn to protect and defend, witiiout par ticipation, protection or defence in the Na tional Councils. Nobody supposes that his trice reason for thus acting is that he be lieves the bill to be unconstitutional, for many of the most eminent men of his party have acknowledged its constitutionality, and Gov. McDonald is not such a blockhead as not to believe with them—he believes that the operation of the law will injure the in terests of his party, therefore he is deter mined to pay no regard to it. This alone, without farther proof, is sufficient to show that Gov. McDonald is a fit associate of Brownson and Gov. Dorr. They do not even regard the laws of their own Legislatures when such laws stand in the way of their party policy. Thus we have the Central Bank, conducted by some of the purest democrats of the State, spum ing the law of a Democratic Legislature, because it interfered with its progress of corruption and ruin. The management of that Bank had been so wasteful and un principled, that the last Legislature, demo cratic though it was, was ashamed to leave it without some restraint, and instead of e nacting the famous Relief Scheme, which they had promised, and by means of which they had carried their election, they passed a much more beneficial law, one calcula ted to protect the people of the State against farther robbery. They enacted that the Bank should make no more issues until its bills were at par with the bills of specie l , paying Banks. This law the directors have utterly set at naught, and in defiance of it have gone on issuing their bills, dis counting notes, and for aught we know may now be discounting in preparation for tbe next fall elections. By thus increasing the liabilities of the State they seem determin ed to force her to follow the example of Mississippi, and it will not be surprising to find the odious doctrine of repudiation open ly advocated in the next Legislature, But it is useless to multiply instances to show that the democracy of Georgia are nearly identical in sentiment with the destructives of the North. Proofs are to be met with in every newspaper of that party, in the proceedings of their public meetings, in the acts of their legislatures, and in the pre sentments of their Grand Juries. They have not and we believe never will declare open war against the domestic relations of civilized life, or profess those sentiments of their northern brethren which are worthy only of the French revolutionists of the “ Reign of Terror,” but their'acts as a par. y and as public men sjhow their political principles to bo equally as dangerous and disorganizing. 0C?” flic Tyler men of Pennsylvania, numbering about 500 men spectators and ull, held a celebration in Philadelphia to which they invited Mr. Tyler and his “Guard,” the invited prayed to be excused. Mr. Profitt however appeared and made a most unprofitable speech. VVe subjoin the President’s answer to the invitation. Washington, July 2, 1842. To Mi'ssrs. Harris, Graves, Mears, Connell, English, and Taylor, Committee, &c. Gentlemen, —I would most gladly accept your invitation to be present with you on the approaching celebration of the anniver sary of American freedom, could I do so consistently with public engagements. — These, you must he aware, render it impos sible ; and I can therefore do no more than return you my thanks for your polite atten tion. In the administration of public affairs I seek only to carry out the end and design of that great revolution you propose to cele brate. Tlie happiness of the people, foun ded on measures calculated to advance their prosperity, should be the high object of all those entrusted by the people with the administration 01 their affairs. With this view, I recoir; mended to Congress morethan seven months ago, a plan of finance and of currency, which, while it would contribute to relieve the Treasury, would, in my opin ion, furnish a circulation equal in value to gold and silver. At the same time, I urged the adoption of a tariff” of duties which, while it would sustain the public credit, would afford the manufacturing interests ample aid. I also invited the attention of Congress most urgently to the condition of the public defences, and invoked their active agency in giving to the two great arms of the national defence—the army and the na vy—complete efficiency ; and I have re peated to them urgent solicitations, that measures of a decided character should be adopted to restore the public credit, and to elevate the standard of the public faith. If nothing has been done to accomplish any one of these objects, the fault is not with tlie Executive. For having declined of late to unite in giving away a fruitful source of revenue, from a Treasury which has become nearly exhausted, 1 have been charged with a de sire to dictate to Congress, when my sole object is to carry out a law of this very Con gress on the subject of the public lands.— The welkin is made to resound with char ges ofExeeutive dictation, because I have not seen cause to approve the repeal or sus pension of an act passed as late as the 4th September last. My reply is, that if it was right to pass that act then, it must be wrong to repeal it now, when the Treasury re quires the use of every dollar which it can rightfully claim. Executive dictation ! I repel the imputation. I would gladly har monize with Congress in the enactment of all necessary measures, if the majority would permit me. Most gladly would 1 approve any bill having revenue for its ob ject and the protection of manufacturing industry as its incident, which should be presented to me, unconnected w ith matters having no necessary affiliation, and which are only calculated toembarrass tiie execu tive action. Each branch of the Govern ment is independent of every other, and heaven forbid that the day should ever come when either can dictate to the other. The Constitution never designed that the executive should boa mere cypher. On the contrary, it denies to Congress the right to pass any law without hisapproval; there by imparting to it, for wise purposes, an ac tive agency in all legislation. Excuse the observations which the occa sion and the circumstances of the time seemed to invite, and accept assurances, Gentlemen, of my regard for each of you individually. ‘ JOHN TYLER. OHIO AND HENRY CLAY. A great Convention of the Whigs of Ohio was held at Lebanon on the 10th ult., num bers present being estimated from five to 8,000. T lie delegations of tlie different towns came, as of old, with their bands of music, their flags and banners thrown to the breeze, and numerous as they were, they all found comfortable quarters, latch-strings in abun dance being outside tlie doors. Gov. Corwin made a great speech, and was followed by many others, one of whom, Mr. Sehenck, of Dayton, in concluding his speech said he was entrusted by the Whigs of Montgomery county to propose that Hen ry Clay be nominated for the Presidency ; and he called upon the Whigs of Hamilton, Butler, Warren, Clinton, Miami, Greene, Clarke, and other counties represented, to respond their hearty Amen, which was done with a united voice. The Cherokees.. —The last number of the Van Buren (Ark.) Intelligencer states that old party excitements are again rising in the Cherokee nation. A convention was lately held in the vicinity of Fort Gibson, composed of the “old settler,” party, whose purpose was an examination into the par ty s claims, as likewise to discuss tiie possi bility of their security, and counsel upon tlie party’s position and views. It appears that the old settler party cannot convene without the interference of others, accompa nied by threats. Such interference and threats naturally excite the feelings of the party opposed, and lead not only to angry disputes, hut also inflame tlie passion and desire for strife—so much so, that lives are threatened, dangerous quarrels take place, and even lives are taken. It is said that the lives of some of the principal men are threatened, and that they stand in no small danger. Some even dare not start home from the convention, some apprehend assas sination in their own homes, while others are forced to flee for safety.— N. O. Picay une. Ideality. —And old bachelor talking of single blessedness. The following letter from our distin guished Senator in Congress was written in reply to tlie Committee of tlie Whig party in New York who had invited him to lie pre sent at tlie recent Clay meeting in that city. Washington, 20th June 1842. Gentlemen —l have to acknowledge tiie receipt of your letter of the 14th inst., in which you have done me the honor to in vite me, in behalfofthe General Committee of the Democratic Whig party in the city of New Y’ork, to attend a meeting convened by the direction of that Committee, on the 22d inst.,, tortile purpose of presenting the name of tlie Hon. Henry Clay of Kentucky as the candidate for the Presidency. I hope, gentlemen, I need not say to you how much real gratification it would afford me to unite with you on tlie interesting oc casion of your assemblage, participating ns 1 do in your own earnest desire for tlie accomplishment of tlie object in which it will originate—commended as that object is to every conviction of my judgement, and to every feeling of my heart—and auspi cious as 1 trust tlie assemblage will be of the elevated stand which your great and patriotic State is destined to assume in tlie conlliet which awaits us. In tiie anomalous and deplorable condi tion to which the country is reduced, under the dispensations of an all-wise but inscru table Providence, rendering temporarily abortive the best efforts of patriotism, we love to recur to the recollection of the glo rious struggle of 1840—to tiie feeling which i animated and to the signal success v.iGch crowned our efforts in that memorable con test. Sucli a retrospect affords us tlie gra tifying assurance that there is a redeeming spirit in the American people, which confi ding in the mercy of God, and unmoved by the folly and undismayed by the faithless ness of mail, will yet again be efficient for our rescue from tlie calamities which envi ron us. I rejoice to recognize tlie infiti enee of that spirit in the movement which you announce to me. Let it still be on ward. Under tlie auspices of tlie Patriot Statesman whose name you propose to in scribe on your banner, when the hour of conflict arrives, tlie Whig party will once again rush to victory. In various parts of the Country, the note of preparation is already sounded. The gallant and patriotic ‘old North State,’ prompt as of yore in her resistance to op pression, leads the van ; and Georgia, e mancipated and betrayed, but stili confi dent in her strength, moving ‘in quck time,’ stands by her side. Their united and cor dial greetings, mingling with those of the Whig party of tiie Union, await tlie Empire State, when she, too, shall give her banner to the breeze. 1 sincerely regret my inability to be with you, gentlemen, but duty forbids, at this advanced stage of the Session of Congress, that I should leave, even temporarily, the post which lias been assigned to me. I have tlie honor to be, very respectfully, Your fellow citizen, JNO. MACPEIERSON BERRIEN. To Jacob Acker, Joseph Iloxie, Spc. Decease of Congressmen.— Ofthe mem bers elected to the present Congress, at least eight are dead, viz:— Samuel L. Southard, Senator from New Jersey. Wm. S. Hastings, Representative from Mass. Lewis Williams, “ “ N. C. W. S. Ramsey, “ “ Penn. Joseph Lawrence, “ “ “ Charles Ogle, “ “ “ Henry Black, “ “ “ David Diinock, “ “ “ Five of the deceased belonged to the Pen sylvania delegation. Gov. McDonald vs. Uncle Sam. —Our Governor says, that if Congress passes a law Districting the States, he shall not convene the Legislature for the purpose of carrying it into effect. Keep a stiff” upper lip Mac—only get the loan of Dorr’s sword, and glory awaits you.— Fort Gaines Whig. (FT” The reward offered by the Governor oi Rliodo-Island for the apprehension of Thomas W. DoPr, has been increased from SI,OOO to $5,000. Caution. —The Columbia Chronicle of the Cth inst. says : We advise our fellow, citizens to betvare of Fifty Cent Bills, pur porting to be of the Bank of the State of South Carolina, as almost the whole of that denomination now in circulation are coun terfeits. We saw one the other day, and it is well calculated to deceive the unwary. Stereotype it. —That in the ten years pre vious to Gen. Jackson’s war on the curren cy system the number of Banks created w'as 22, with a capital of $8,000,000. That in the next two years the number of Banks created was 268, with a capital of $369,- 000,000; that the former Banks were gen erally sound, and the latter have generally proven unsound : and that the Loco Foeos are now breaking down the very currency they gave us, bad as it is, and are fast re ducing us to the condition of no currency at all. New Jersey Senator. —The Newark Ad vertiser says that Governor Pennington has tendered the appointment of U. S. Senator, having been officially informed of the death of Mr. Southard, to William L. Dayton, and that Judge Dayton has accepted the appointment. There was coined at the New-Orleans Mint, in May last, $154,000, as follows : Half eagles, 800 pieces ; half dimes, 30,- 000; dimes, 255,000 ; quarter dollars, 29,- 000; half dollars, 168,000. The Protested Drafts, of the Central Bank, to which we alluded on Friday, we learn were promptly paid on presentation at the Central Bank, the cashier of which alledgcs the fault to have been with tlie bank in Charleston.— Augusta Chronicle. The Baltimore Sun mentions it as a sin gular circumstance, that the ground upon which the duel between Mr. Marshall and Col. Webh was fought, was close to the spot here the uncle of Air. M., Chief Justice Marshall, acted as lieutenant in the Third Virginia Regiment, and the father of Col. W. led a Massachusetts Battalion into the battle of the Brandywine. From the Louisville [Ky.] Sun AFFAIR OF HONOR. We have just heard the particulars of a meeting which took place on Six Milo Isl and, on Tuesday, between two young bloods of our city, Samuel Thruston, aged 15, and William Iluie, aged 13years. They were attended by young gentlemen of the same age. The weapons used on the occasion were a couple of Dickson’s best rifles— distance 30 yards. They took one fire without any damage being sustained by ei ther party,except the ball of Thruston’s gun passing through the crown of Huie’s best beaver hat. Through the intercession of the hoard of honor, a corporation wel 1 known in this city, the challenge was withdrawn, and the difficulty amicably adjusted. Both parties behaved with the most per fect coolness and courage on the occasion. The difficulty, we have heard originated in an ajfairc du cceur. So we go ! It has been avowed on the floor of the I British House of Commons, that America j is the best customer England has for her , manufactures, 850,000,000 worth annual ly coming to this country. The Declaration of Independence says “ all men are born equal.” The Halifax Herald gives a practical illustration that such is not the fact—it says that a lady in Halifax recently had twins, two boys, when one was found to weigh 12 pounds, and the I other 18. It is said that among the questions pri vately discussed at the late locofoco conven- i tion at Milledgeville, was one to change the ! name of the party from Democracy to Dorr ! mocracy.—[ Messenger. Colloquy on the Mississippi. —“ Boy, who j do you belong to ?” asked a gentleman as ho stepped on board of a steamer, ofa “ dar ky” leaning on the guards. “ I did b’long to Massa William, sir when I come aboard ; but he’s in the cabin playin poker wid de captain, and 1 don’t know who I b’long to now !” The Custom House. —We are told that the trouble experienced at the Custom House yesterday, was inexpressibly great, and it is believed that the business cannot be carried on in the present state of legis lation. The Collector, it is stated, has re ceived instructions from Washington to le vy a duty oftwenty per cent, home valua tion, payable in cash, without credit, upon all articles not specified in the list of free goods. But there is no means of testing the valuation. Gin, that may be considered j worth a dollar a gallon here, though, we suppose, it would cost in Holland not more than forty or forty-five cents a gallon, might in some places of excessive temperance, be valued at twenty cents. Take, for exam- i pie, the port of Plymouth, (Mass.) the shire town of a county in which there is not a place for retailing liquor, and where, per haps, a gallon ofgin is not drunk in a year. Would gin be considered worth as much as in some places where the demand has not ceased ?— Phil. Gaz. The Lynchburgh Virginian says : On looking over the yeas and nays in the Senate, on the Tariff bill of 1824, we find that not only Jackson and Eaton, but that Thomas H. Benton, Mahlon Dickerson (af terwards a member of Van Buren’s Cabi net,) Richard M. Johnson, (late “demo cratic” Vico President,) and Marlin Van Buren, (late “ democratic” President,) VO TED FOR IT ; while an inflexible and unflinching federalist, Rufus King of New York, the colleagueofMr. Van Buren, VO TED AGAINST IT ! And yet we are told that a protective tariff is anti-demo cratic measure ; and a spawn of federal ism !! Again ; In 1828, the “ Bill of Abomina tions,” as the Tariff Bill of that year was called, passed. And by whose votes ? Let us see some of them : Thomas H. Benton, Mahlon Dickerson, Maj, Eaton, Richard M. Johnson, Louis McLane, (afterwards Gen. Jackson’s Secretary of the Treasury,) and Martin Van Buren ! And now these men and their followers have the impudence to denounce a protective tariff as a species of robbery, as unconstitutional, and as a shoot of the old tree of federalism. If they have changed their opinions, in tbe name of heaven, let them say so; but do not let them have the effrontery to claim an uniform orthodoxy ofopinion, while they denounce as federalists those who are only walking in their foot steps. From the Neio York Plebeian. COLT’S SUBMARINE BATTERY. The experiment with Colt’s submarine battery, on the 4th, was eminently success ful. An old vessel had been towed oft’Cas tle garden, fitted up with temporary masts, and decorated with flags, on which were painted death’s head, and all the piratical devices imaginable. The battery was placed immediately under this hideous-loo king craft, and the effect of the explosion was tremendous. The vessel was shattered into a thousand fragments, some of which were thrown two or three hundred feet in the air. There was not a single piece of her left larger than a man could have car ried in one hand. Nothing could have been more thoroughly destructive. The whole sceue, including the firing salutes and this ! terrific explosion, approached the sublimi ty of a naval battle.

Tlie manufacturing enterprises which have been undertaken in South Carolina anti Georgia, and to which we made refer ‘ enco on a former occasion, are to bo consid ered not so much as experiments merely in • a speculative point of view, as tlie results of ! ! a necessity which is now forcing tlie plant j ers to look about for some other occupation i besides cotton growing. The deteriotaiion ! in tlie price of cotton, and tlie dull prospect of any future improvement, says tlie N. O. i Bulletin, admonish tlie planting interest of . the policy of finding out some new mode of j employing capital. To tRe Planters in the 1 old cotton States, such as tlie Carolinas and j Georgia, the recommendation applies with j stronger force, for the reason that their soil i is fast wearing out, and cannot compensate . for the fall of prices by tlie abundance of tlie 3 crop. Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, with the advantages of the alluvial bottoms i of great fertility, may hold out inger un t der the present depreciate, tendencies— ’ but even upon the alluvia:, Mississip i it is stated that the cotton ; uii: t lie i ; raised to proffit at the low i . ated | by the scale of prices for l y v >r two j past. _ It is believed that manufae . hold out tlie only prospect of int by j which the decline of the planting interest ’ can lie remedied. The subject is one for , ! Southern men to consider ; and it would be ’ well if they would consider it before they set themselves decidedly against the Tariff i policy. The manufacturing establishments in the Carolinas and Georgia are succeed ing very prosperously ; coarse fabrics are , turned out good in quality and cheap in | price. The South possesses advantages j enougli to give fair assurances of perma nence to their manufacturing establish ments. Baltimore American. j I | NEW YORK, ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY YEARS AGO. The following description of New York j was published by Denton, in 1702. llow | j strangely it contrasts with its present con- j j ditioil! “ I must needs say, that if there j be a terrestia! Canaan, ’tis surely here.— j i The inhabitants are blessed with peace and plenty; blessed in their country ; blessed in in tlie fruit of their grounds ; in their basket and in their store ; in a word, bles sed in whatsoever they take in hand, or go about; the earth yielding plentiful increase to all their painful labor.” “ Were it not to avoid my prolixity, I could say a groat deal more, and vet say too little to show how free are these parts of tlie world from that pride and oppression, with their miser able effects, which many, nay, almost all parts of the world are troubled with. Here, a wagon or cart gives as good content as a coach ; and a piece of their home made cloth better than thefinest lawns or richest I silks; and though their low roofed houses j may seem to shut their doors against pride i and luxury, yet how do they stand vvideo pen to let charity in & out, either to assist each other,or to relieve a stranger ! and tiie distance of place from other nations, dotli secure them from tlie envious frowns of ill affected neighbors, and tlie troubles which usually arise thence.” Now, it is but a great Babel, full of noise and turmoil and violence. It gathers with- j in it all nations, all creeds, ail classes. It presents pictures of every condition of so- j ciety, from soaring affluence to squalid puv- j erty. Crime is there, with its hundred j heads; disease is there in its multiform j shapes; sorrow is there, with its many ! gusiiing fountains of misery ; virtue is there jostled and crow ded by vice and corruption, it is, in fact an epitome of tlie world ; and the picture which Do Foe, one hundred and , forty years ago, drew of European society, is now perfectly applicable to a place which at the time it was written, was styled by a traveller, “ a terrestial Canaan.” “ I saw’ the world busy around me ; one part laboring for bread, and the other squander ing it in vile excesses or empty pleasures. The men of labor spent their strength in daily smugglings for bread, to maintain tlie vital power they labored with; so liv ing in a daily circulation of sorrow, living but to work, and working hut to live, as if daily bread were the only end fora weari some life, and a wearisome life tlie only oc casion of daily bread.”— Savannah Geor gian. A RUNNING NOOSE. Under this head, the Yorkville Compiler, South Carolinia give the particulars of a marriage ceremony literally performed on the run. The parents, it seems, were op posed to the match—hut the lovers, by ap pointment, on a previous occasion, met a magistrate at a certain spot, who was to tie the knot. While the ceremony was being performed the watchful eve of the Justice espied two relatives of the lady ma king toward them, armed and equipped con trary to law, and apparently with any but “ peaceable intent.” The Squire told the parties to streak it, he following them, continuing the ceremony. The offended party barely got up in time, to hear the par ties pronounced “ lawful man and wife,” and receive the apology of the young Loch invar and his bonny bride. Miss Hamblin, charged with the murder of Mr. Ewing, of the Mobile Theatre, in March last, gave herself up to the authori ties on Tuesdajf, and was examined that evening before Judge Bragg. The result was, she wascommitted for trial at the next term of the circuit court, but admitted to bail in the sutn of $3,000. Counsels for the prisoner, Wm. D.

The foliowing truly patriotic Toast was sent to a Fourth of July celebration, at Ro chester, N. Y., some years- ago : “ By an old Maid. —Our Country—Like - an old maid, may it ever boast of its free dom and independence, happy in its pres ent state, yet ever looking forward with pleasing anticipations to a change for the better, strictly guarding iier virtue with a patriotic eye, and when Union is called for, • ever ready to present heart and hand.” This toast was received by tiie company with an enthusastie tiiree times three, and being loudly encored, was repeated.
