Jiot fail to prevail, but for two strong impe diments. Tlie first ofthese is, that the Van Huron party at largo never entertained any sincere purpose but that of using Calhoun tor their own ends, in the progress of which they made no doubt but that ho and his party would be “used-up.” And secondly, ’.he Bentonian section could not allow a bargain to be kept, which substitutes Cal houn for their chief, and lays the latter for over on the shelf. Certainly, either might, / in such a difficulty, consent to postpone his claims, until the other was served. But each sees, as to the other only, that he can not bo elected, even if supported by the en tire party. Both perceives that Henry Clay will spoil the successorship of Cal houn, if V an is run—of Benton, if Calhoun is the man ; and that when the country shall once have got a taste of a wise, a right, and a coble administration of public affairs, the redeemed, the regenerated, and the sobered land will be little likely logo back to Jack sonism, like a dog to his vomit, or a swine to his wallow in the mud. It is plain, then, what these parties, in their present contest about a Convention mean. The Van Buren party has no idea of permitting Mr.Calhoun to he run ; and the Calhoun party evidently ‘require only, that the Convention shall bo assembled at such a time as will give them a chance to make it a Calhoun one ; and that, if they shoulildfail, they shall then have the right to pronounce it, (what it will probably be) a fraud. They will submit to its decision, on one very equitable condition—that it shall have a majority for Mr. Calhoun. NEWS AND GAZETTE. WASHINGTON, GA. THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1843.* FOR PRESIDENT, FOR GOVERNOR, GEORGE W. CRAWFORD. 05” The mails, since the new contracts have gone into operation, have been in a miserable state of confusion, and several changes have taken place which we are not exactly used to yet; ‘ consequently, some irregularity may be experienced by our subscribers in getting their papers. If it becomes necessary, we shall ehangd our day of publication, provided, we find upon trial that Thursday does not suit the pres ent mail arrangements. We hope our sub scribers will have a little patience if they suffer inconvenience. “ Uncle Sam” is more blameable than we are. The Tariff. The two parties, so far at least as Geor gia is concerned, have chosen their leaders in the approaching Presidential contest, and have raised their banners inscribed with certain principles, which differ in.some res pects from each other, and of which princi ples Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun are the acknowledged representatives and champions. The first particular in which these dec larations of principle differ is the Tariff. The motto on the banner of Calhoun is “• Free Trade and Low Duties”—a motto which requires the brain of an abstraction ist to understand. How free trade can ex ist with any duties, is incomprehensible. Either then the Calhoun men are in favor of Free trade and no duties, or of a horizontal tariff which imposes the same amount of duty upon all articles without discrimina tion ; for the credit of Mr. Calhoun’s well known talents, we will suppose the latter Is his plan, and that he has abandoned all idea of Free trade and direct taxation ; in fact we believe that impracticable chimera has been repudiated by him and his men. A system which imposes the same duties upon luxuries and necessaries, which taxes the wines, brandies, fine clothes and fine . equipages of the rich no higher than the salt and iron, tea and coffee of the farmer, must be an excellent thing for the South Caroli na nabob, we should suppose it would hard ly suit the plain Georgia people. Yet, tiiis is Mr. Calhoun’s system, and these are in brief the man and the principles which the wire workers at Milledgeville have called upon the Democrats of this State to sup port. The Whigs have been accused of being in favor of a high protective tariff—this ac cusation is false as those who make it know, or ought to know. They, as much or more than Calhoun’s men, are in favor of a tariff for revenue only, such an one as will be barely sufficient to supply the wants of a frugal government. Thus far they go hand in hand with the Democrats, then comes the points of difference —the Whigs wish the greatest amount of revenue to be levied on articles used by the rich and lux urious, that articles necessary for the use of the great mass of the people may pass with a light impost; they think it democrat ic that in the adjustment of the tariff “ the greatest good of the greatest number,” should be consulted—the democrats think it more democratic that tiie few. most able to pay taxes should he favored at the expense of the many least able to pay them. Another difference—the Whigs think it right that in raising revenue by a tariff, some favor should be shown to our me chanics and manufacturers ; that the great est amount of revenue should be raised from those articles of foreign production which come in competition with the business of our own countrymen. The Calhoun par ty, on the contrary, wish to place the Brit ish or other foreign manufacturer on the same footing with us in our own markets. In other words, the Whigs wish to cncour- j age home industry, so far as the laying of duties for revenue only will permit them to do so ; their opponents prefer that foreign pauper labor should be encouraged at the expense of our own. That the Whigs wish to pass a high protective tariff, is, to use the shortest and most expressive word, a lie— and the Whig press have been most remiss in their duty that they have not earlier and more indignantly repelled the accusation. We need only quote the words of Mr. Clay himself to show what arc Ins doctrines and those of his party. “ Happily, however,” said lie in* his . speech in the Senate, March 23, 1842, j “ for the country, there is a common ground j on which we may all stand. Yes, all— I all, whether Whig or Loco—l hope they 1 will manifest a just title to be called Demo- | crats —on this ground we may all unite. All agree that the Government must have the necessary supplies for the public ser vice,; that ways and means must he ] provided; & if in laying the duties necessa ry to effect this end protection can inciden tally be given, I hope there is nor a man on either side of the Chamber who will be op posed to that. I hope that the honorable Senator from Pennsylvania [Mr. Buchan- , an,] will go as far as a general duty of 30 per cent, if it should be found necessary to an economical administration of the Gov. •eminent, or even if, by continuing tea and coffee free of duty, it may become necessa ry, as far as thirty-three and a third per cent. I trust there will be no diversity of opinion, hut that we shall all be found rea dy to go for that rate of duty which may he requisite to meet the reasonable wants of the Government.” In a previous speech he had made the fol lowing plain and precise declaration, and we are sorry that his entreaty not to be misrepresented, has been so little regarded: “ Let me not be misunderstood, and let me entreat that I may not be misrepresent ed. lam not advocating the revival of a high protective tariff. lam for abiding by the principles of the compromise act ; I am for doing what no Southern man of a fair or candid mind has ever yet denied—giving to the country a revenue which may provide for the economical wants of the Govern ment, and at the same time give an inciden tal protection to our home industry.” What mechanic, dependent on his own labor for a support and in danger of having the bread taken from his mouth and given to beggarly British and Frenchmen, if these free trade doctrines prevail ; or u hat Geor gian, citizen of a State, destined, one day, to become one of the greatest manufactu ring countries in the world, when the sur plus lalior and capital, now somewhat un profitably employed in agriculture, shall be devoted to developing and usiiig her nat ural advantages, resources,and powers, far greater than those of any other State in the Union; or what farmer who wishes a market, steady and certain, at his own door for the products of his labor, or would have their value enhanced by the increas ed demand for them consequent upon the establishment of manufactories, can ob ject to the above sentiments expressed by the great Kentuckian 1 In another point the Whigs differ from the Free Traders —the first would have the productions of those countries which impose heavy duties upon our commodities (such, for instance, as Great Britain, which lays theenonnous impost upon ourimportant sta ple, tobacco, of 72 cents per pound on un manufactured, and $2,16 on the manufac tured article) pay, when imported into this coumry, a comparatively high duty, and those countries, which lay small duties on our commodities, should have small duties laid on theirs by us. The Calhounites, on the contrary, would have the productions, both of those countries which open their markets to- our commodities, and of those which close theirs against us by exorbi tant impests, treated alike—taxed to the same extent. A beautiful sort olfree trade truly, which gives us ample permission to buy but allows others to prevent us from selling 1 Therf is little of reciprocity now in our intercourse with foreign nations. In 1841 the value of our imports was a little less than One hundred and twenty eight millions of dollars, and our government lev ied a revenue from them of fourteen million and a half, or about percent; the val ue of our commodities exported to foreign countries, in the same year, was ninety one millions, out of which the governments of those countries levied a duly of One hun dred and thirteen millions, equal to 124 per cent! Calhoun’s men, instead of diminish ing,wish to increase this immense inequali ty by admitting the commodities of all countries free of duty, no matter how oner- j ous may bo the restrictions they plnce upon j our trade. We have, in this hasty and imperfect j manner, attempted to set forth the points of difference between the parties on this sub- • ject, that our duty might be done in placing the Whig party in their true position before the people. Misrepresentation of our tenets, and those of our great leader, lias been mi- i sparingly, and almost without contradiction poured forth from the Democratic press—it is time the people should know what the truth is. We have said nothing of the pre cedents which all well icgulated govern ments afford in support ofour doctrine; noth ing of the unwavering practice of our own, nothing of the great weight of authority giv en to it by the many illustrious American statesmen (of whom Calhoun himself is not the least) who have advocated it; we have thought it unnecessary to go into an argu ment in defence of its constitutionality, that none hut the most crazy, captious and ultra of the Nullifying school now deny. Every candid man, at all acquainted with the sub ject, must allow the proposed policy of the Whig party to be expedient, just, consistent with State Rights, Democratic (in the true sense of that word) and, above all, patriotic. 05“ The Constitutionalist of Tuesday says, “We have been advised that the .Candidates of the Democratic Convention have accepted their nomination.” As, on account of the bad arrangement of the mails, we did not receive the Milledgeville papers published on Tuesday, we have not learned whether Major Cooper has resigned his seat in Congress, or whether he means to retain it until he finds how the Govern or’s election will result. We presume, however, from the Constitutionalist using the plural word, catididales, that he has re signed, else there could be no candidate for Congress to fill his vacancy. - - “ He (Mark A. Cooper,) possesses all the requisite qualifications for the office of Gov- j ernor, being well versed in finances, prac tical and theoretical.— Constitutionalist. j The people can have no doubt of Mr. Cooper’s financial ability, knowing, as they do, that lie acquired it in an excellent school—the Columbus Western Insurance and Trust Company—commonly known bv the name of “ Shylock,” from its merciless cutting of “ the pound of flesh” from its unfortunate debtors. 05“ The Democratic party of Madison county have repudiated the proceedings of the Democratic Convention held last month in M lledgeville, and have called a meeting o 7 C 5 in Danielsville to take into consideration the propriety of calling another Convention “ to recommend a suitable candidate to be | run by the Democratic party for the next j Presidency and Vice-Presidency of the U j nited States.” A similar meeting is to be j held by the DemocratsVif Crawford county j on the 15th instant. This looks like trou ble in the camp. 05“ Maine and Nevv-Hampshire have both been confidently claimed for Mr. Cal houn—:he signs in the Northern political 1 sky at present, seem adverse to him. In Maine, the Locos lately held a Convention and passed, by a vote of 144 to 74, Resolu tions in favor of Mr. Van Buren for the next Presidency. In New-Hampshire, a Demo cratic Convention was held on the 29th ult. in which a series of Resolutions strongly recommending Mr. Van Buren as the can didate of their party, for the next Presiden cy, were adopted by a vote of 154 to five. Every day renders it more manifest that Mr. Van Buren will be the next Democrat ic candidate lor President; the Democrats of the North have evidently been humbug ging “ the chivalry,” by professing a pre ference to Mr. Calhoun. 05” Sam Houston, President of Texas, has issued his proclamation ordering a ces sation of hostilities wiih Mexico, during the pending of negociations for peace. Great- Britain is to be arbiter between the two countries, and she of course, will pursue her usual grasping and tyrannical course, she will swallow the oyster herself and give to the unlucky disputants the shells. 05” We understand, says the Macon Messenger, that Dempsey J. Justice and Archibald Brown, have been arrested in Alabama, near Pea River, for the murder of tiie Penitentiary Guard in Twiggs coun ty, and have been brought on arid are now in jail in Marion. We learn that there is strong testimony against them. 05” A tremendous conflagration happen ed at Fall River, Mass., on the 2d, inst. by which three hundred houses were destroy ed. The fire originated by a boy firing a pistol in a Cabinet makers shop. Loss es timated at from $300,000 to half a million. When Miller sets the world on fire the True Democrat will turn Whig.

Upshur, Acting Secretary of State. J. C. Spencer, Secretary of the Treasury. D. Henshaw, Secretary of the Navy. - J. M. Porter, Acting Secretary of War. G. A. Wiokliffe, I’ost Master General. John Nelson, Attorney General. Os the new members, Mr. Henshaw is a man of talent, but of reputation tarnished in connection with the failure of the old Com monwealth Bank. He was Collector at Boston under Jackson. Mr. Nelson is a j decided and active Van Buren man, and is ; reputed to be one of the ablest lawyers in j Maryland. It is understood that the Attorney Gen- j cralship was offered to Mr. Potigru of S. C. i but declined. JV. Y. Tribune. \ 05” We think there must bo some mis take, relative to Mr. Petigru, in the above. Mr. P. is a Whig, not to be bought with all the offices in Mr. Tyler’s gift, and he is a strong friend of Henry Clay—of'course the President would as soon have poison in his coffee as Mr. P. in Ins Cabinet. Henshaw got his appointment as a compensation for sgmo brandy, segars and other groceries, expended lately at Boston, in giving “a treat” to Capting Tvler and his son, Prince Bobuel. A PURE DEMOCRATIC COMMUNI TY. We were conversing the other day, with a citizen of Irwin county, who informs us, that there is not a lawyer ob doctor in that county!—as the people never go in debt, there is no need of lawyers; and as they live in pcimative simplicity,there is no need for a physician. It is difficult to get any one to accept the office of Constable, or Sheriff, or Justice of the Peace. The Superior Court is seldom ever held there; and when it is, there is not business enough to attract the attention of the bar; consequently the ses sion continues scarcely as many hours, as it does weeks in some counties thought to be much betteroff. Still, the people of Irwin are not poor. They have never had a pau- j per among them. They raise their own i provisions, and manufacture their own clothes. Neither are they indebted to the ! East Indies for coffee, or the West Indies for sugar. They make every thing among themselves. Irwin is one of the largest counties in the State,, and iias a happy, in dustrious and thriving population. How is j all this to be accounted for? Answer — I There is scarcely a half dozen Whig voters in the county. Macon Telegraph. 05” Why are there no more Whig voters in Irwin?. Answer —Because, as appears! by the U. S. Census, the number of persons j in that county, who cannot read and write, j exceeds the whole number of voters at the 1 Congressional I'llection last January ! No wonder Irwin County is so very Democrat ic! The Editor of the Telegraph had bet ter emigrate to Irwin as lie will be out of the way of Courts of Justice, and need not be in fear of Sheriffs, both which he seems to thinkjgreat impediments to the operations of “Democratic Communities.” The Thermometer here on Sunday .reach j ed the height of 97 deg. ; the maximum, !we believe, thus far of the season. At Phi ladelphia 104 deg. is its highest point— and high enough it is in all conscience. At Boston it has stood at 103 deg. This is very unusual. N. Y. Tribune.

A Lucky Man. —A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing from Washington, says, “ Mr. John Dade, the warden of the Penitentiary of this county, has, 1 learn, re ceived information from Lord Ashburton, through the hands of the President, th t lie is now the Marquis of Townsend, with an income of £60,000 per annum. Mr. Dade is a genuine old Virginia gentleman and will know exactly how to enjoy such an income. Gen. Jackson's Fine. —The New Or leans Herald says : —“The resolution pas sed by our last Legislature, declaring that Louisiana would do justice to the greatest of heroes and the purest of men, provided the National Congress failed to perform its j duty, were ordered to ho transmitted to Gen. Jackson. Our worthy and honored Execu tive has evinced a greatdeal of taste in the discharge of that pleasant duty. He has had the resolutions elegantly written upon parchments, and put in a beautiful frame. It'there is any thing that%an enhance the pleasure which will animate the bosom of the old Chieftain upon the receipt of those resolutions passed as they were by a Whig Legislature as an act of condemnation of their own senators and representatives in ] congress, it will be derived from the manner ’ and form in which our executive has cho sen to forward them.” HENRY CLAY. J he Charleston Mercury, one of the a hlesi umJ most decide il Loco Foco journals in the country, thus speaks of the noble hearted champion of our Political Faith— the gallant ILuutyof the West: Mr. Clay :—lf we cannot have a South ern State Rights man—if John-C. Calhoun, by going.upon the forlorn hope of truth, is [politically] dead upon the ramparts —like a gallant steed fallen in the front rank— borne, down and trampled upon by the rear, —and can only hope for justice from those who look upon these disjointed times, with the eyes of posterity ; if, for disinterested ness above, and political sagacity beyond, the age, lie is to be sacrificed a martyr to principle—at least call upon us to support some man worthy of an enthusiastic trust. Give us a man of some noble traits—a bold, gallant, high-minded man of genius, who, though we see his political errors, we can yet assure ourselves, can do nothing mean. Give us such a man, for instance, as Henry Clay. lie would have our respect, our ad miration. Not of solitary chieftain hero ism—Oh no! but of a kind not at all rela ted to the humbug family. We would not throw ourselves into the arena for his sup port, but we would not quarrel with the Northern Whigs for offering such a man for the suffrages of the opposition. Wo tell the Northern Whigs he is the only man on whom they can rally a conquering party, I unless the people come more suddenly to ; their senses than we have a right to expect, | and at once do themselves the honor of ren dering justice io the first man in the coun- j try. The “crowds” that followed Tyler’s pro- ; gress seems to have suffered considerably from pick-pockets : this reminds us of a rich joke which occurred in 1840 at a Loeofoco Convention in Lancaster. Mr. Buchanan, we think, was on the platform, who. fret ting that he once had commenced the ad dress “we, as Federalists,” prefaced bis present oration with the words “we ail here are Democrats .” Almost simultaneous with this expression one .of the committee on the staging cried out “take care, fellow citizens, we have pick-pockets here!” Phila. Forum. Trouble Brewing in Canada. —The Mon treal Herald,of the 24th, ult., warns the British Government to beware in time, —for that though outwardly all seems peaceable, mischief is brewing rapidly in Canada.— That paper avers that meetings are fre quently held ill Montreal, which are large ly attended by the French Canadians, and secret societies, having for their object the dismemberment of Canada from the Mother country, prevail throughout the French dis tricts. This editor will have it that another Re bellion is in reality, organizing, that irre gular bodies of cavalry and infantry have been seen manoeuvring &c. We place no great faith in these alarm ing givings-out. The editor of the Herald is probably more frightened than circum stances warrant. j The following letter presents an interes- j ting comparative view of the Cotton pro- ! duct in reflation to the character of the sea- I son.— N. Y. American. The Cotton Crop. —Extract of a letter from the South, dated June 9th. “As to the growing Crop it looks tolera ble well, as I understand in some quarters, but on the light land of Alabama and throughout Georgia, (and ) presume South Carolina,) the prospect was 1 presume nev er before so bad. It is admitted to be eve ry where a very backward Crop ; and w hile in some parts of Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and tiie Atlantic States, they arc suffering for rain, on the Red River and some other parts of Louisiana and Missis sippi, they are having too much rain, and a good deal of damage has been done by in undation. I append some interesting data, to wit : Cotton in bloom. Killing Frost. Crop 1836, June 4, Oct. 14, 1423,000 1837, May 28, Oct. 25, 1800,000 1838, June 14, Oct. 7, 1360.000 1839, May 24, Nov. 7, 2178,000 1810, June 6, Oct. 17, 1635,000 1841, June 10, Oct. 20, 1684,000 1842, May 25, Oct. 27, probably, 2330,000 These were taken in latitude 32 ; now neither in that or any other latitude is there any appearance of bloom, and I do not think the majority of the Cotton, that I saw, will be in bloom before the first of July. If the season continues dry, the sand}’ lands (us in 1838) will make very little cotton ; but I rather !ook for a wet Summer and Fall and early frost, and a very moderate Crop. You will see by the above that a late Spring is invariably followed by an early Fall. —— Consumption of Cotton in the U. States.- A writer in the New-York Tribune, esti mates that the consumption of Cotton in the United States, which will not fall short this year of 400,000 hales, will go on increasing at the rate” of 10 per cent, for 15 years to come. At that rate we should have ere long a home market for nearly all the cot ton produced here. The advantage of these home manufactures are now being learned. The best market for Western bread staffs is now manufacturing New England. Scarce j ly any is sent abroad. The same writer says that the domestic calicoes now furnished at from 6 to 15 cts. I are better than those imported some time since at from 18 to 27 cents. Gov. McNutt, of Mississippi, in his late publication, says : “ During the period of mv administration, about $60,000 of the public money passed through my hands.— 1 never used or misapplied one dollar there of.” So here we have the ex-Governor of a State actually claiming immortal honor be cause he is not a thief.

EFFECTS OF THE TARIFF. “A Merchant,” writing for the N. Y. Tribune, makes the following important statements: The last Congress, after mature deliber ation, adopted a tariff of duties which, while it brings ample revenue to the. Treasury, fosters to a liberal extent American labor. Under the influence of this Tariff every interest of the country is rising from a state of unparalleled depression quite as rapidly as could be desired ; and what will great ly disappoint the opponents of the measure the importation of foreign goods the present year will be somewhat beyond the wants of the country, producing a revenue from customs of some two or three mill.ions more than the estimate of the last Committee of Ways and Means, Ttiia.is not mere conjecture. A good fall trade is anticipated, and the orders that have gone forward for goods to arrive in July and August will be found to be quite large enough. The opinion 1 am aware has obtain'd io a considerable extent, that because this city is strictly commercial, its citizens a; _ generally.opposed to a Tariff. Such is not the tact. So far as my infor mation extends, a large proportion of our well informed American merchants arc the friends of a Protective Tariff. A few, who are exclusively in the importing business the foreign interest, which is large, and generally respectable, as regards charac ter, and a portion of the Shipping interes: are the advocates of what is termed Free Trade. Several of the most intelligent of the lut ter class, however, have said to me, that they bad no expectation that we could pre serve a sound and well regulated Cur rency without a Tariff Talk to them oi Free Trade in ships, and they will tel! you they couid not live without discrimination Nor have the South so much reason t coinplain of the present state of things.— No section of the country is recovering more rapidly from the terrible revolution of 1836 and ’7, than the States at the South and South-West. Cotton, at the present price, pays the planter better than the agricultu ral products of the Northern and Western Stales remunerate the farmer of those States. In Alabama and Mississippi, it is cstiina ted that a good negro will grow 0 bags of cotton. At 5 cents'per pound, this would a mount to 140 to 150 dollars. To feed and. clothe the negro, costs from 00 to 05 dol lars leaving a clear profit from his labor of abtiut 80 dollars. The present value of the negro is from 350 to 450 dollars, and cotton lands which in 1836 brought 20 to 30 dollars per acre, now sell from 8 to 12. The natural increase of stock, it is always estimated will pay the interest on the in vestrn -tu The consumption of cotton in this coun try the present year, will no: y -bably va ry much from 400,000 ba es, and hits far il. has boon taken by our manufacturers at prices that have paid the planter 10 to 15 percent, more than that shipped to Liver pool or Havre. And so of bread stuffs. For years past, tiie safest and best market for Western Flour has been the district of country in New England devoted to manufactures ; and although our merchants have occa sionally felt authorised by accounts from the other side, to ship Flour to Europe, the result has invariably shown that the home market is more to be relied upon than the foreign. Under the present system, it is fair to es timate that the domestic market for the great staple of the South will increase some 10 per cent, per annum for 12 or 15 years to come; and before that period arrives. Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennes ree, and perhaps Alabama, will have be come Tariff States, each with its Lowell and Patterson within its borders.
