H'lnl of the 29th in«t. and although we feel
H' Sl,rr in communicating evidence of nu
■ satiefatioa with our Chief Magistral**,
B we cannot in all things, believe with the
B w of the Journal that it is perfectly adapted
B genius and disposition, of our country.
B o not consider it of ctpial interest to our
B' ltr Yi wd the world, as was ihe last Mes
s' "l ('resident Monroe.
The genera!—we might almost
have said universal approbation
with which the MessagdW the Pre.s
•jf the United States has been receiv.
«and and read in those parts of the Un
ion from which w have heard, i*
the best evidence of its happy adaps
tationtothe genius and disposition
d‘our country. That a few dissen
tient opinions should have been
heard, was to be "expected from the
inevitable tendency in our nature to
censure" and to detract ; and partic
ularly to select for the objects of re
probation those tilings which are
most excellent of their kind. It is a
sufficient testimony to the merits of
this Message, however, that the ex
ceptions have been—except in one
or too instances where we are dispos
ed to believe they originated in con
scientious difference of opinion—con
fined to individuals predisposed to
condemn; and who had previously
evinced a determination to attribute
the unexceptionable phrase and spir
it of the President’s language and
course to any thing rather than
pure motive and a patriotic de
sire to servo and promote the great
interests entrusted to his keeping.
Even one or two of these individuals,
however, have been forced into a re
luctant acquiescence in the general
satisfaction; and have pronounced
upon this distinguished state paper
the the converted scepticism. Such
are the just tributes which have been
so extensively rendered to a Message
worthy of the intellectual source
whence it has emanated. I fit opens
to us grantl and expanded views of
our national prospects and duties;
they are only in accordance w ith the
age and circumstances amidst which
the bounty of Providence has placed
us. Will it be contended that w r e
are to throw obstacles in the natural
order of events ? Will it be urged
that we are to neglect the advanta
ges which are offered to us, and, by
checking the growth of our domes
tic prosperity," doom ourselves to
protracted infancy and the wonder
and ridicule of oilier nations ! A Ho
lder destiny awaits us, stud a better
path invites our steps. It becomes us
to perform our part in improving the
nheritance which our fathers dis
charged their duty in obtaining for
us; and not to throw all the burden
of developing the character of our
country upon our posterity, because
we would ourselves shrink from re
-ponsibility. We are called on, not
by a love of splendor, nor the desire
Tan improper ambition, but bv the
loud call of duty—a duty imposed on
us by our ancestors, and for the per
lormance of which we are answera
ble to posterity—to elevate the land
of our nativity, the home of our af
lections, Ihe sanctuary of rational
freedom, to that rank which felt tip
pears destined to reach, in order that
by her power and greatness she may
awe and ultimately extirpate the
the spirit of oppression, and extend
the cheerful influence of liberty from
one end of the earth to the other.
The Supreme Judicial Court o!
Maine, has decided that a special re
solve of the Legislature, authorizing
• n appeal to that Court j'roin the
Court of Probate, and directing the
Court to sustain the appeal, in a case
tv here it could not be prosecuted by
due course of law, the legal time for
claiming it having been suffered to
lapse, was unconstitutional, and
therefore not binding on the court.
They therefore dismissed the appeal
brought in conformity with the terms
of the resolve. On the principle of
t.:is decision, legislative acts granting
new trials in special cases are uncon
stitutional.

COTTON.
It is supposed that about 00,000
bales of the crop of the season just
passed, will he shipped from Mobile
bay : the last crop yt lilud 08, 283
bales, which was 9,223 more than
the preceding one. So there is an
increase of 30,000 bales in 2 years.
At Nashville it is thought that
10,000 bales more will be received
than there was of the last crop. The
whole crop of the present year in
Tennessee and North Alabama is
estimated at about 80,000 bales. A
large increase.compared with that of
iast year.
The crop in Mississippi has turn
ed out well. Much aid was afforded
by the Choctaw Indians, who were
paid for their services.
Ten thousand bales bad been re
ceived in Petersburg, Va. up to some
certain day of last week, the value
of which was about half a million of
dollars. “ Virginia cotton.” will soon

several hundred thousand acres of
land in that state will be planted with
it next year. It has been grown w ith
great advantage near Richmond—
-76 acres planted by Mr A. Steven
son, have produced about 10,000 lbs.
of ginned cotton, allowing 4 lbs. of
seed for one of cleaned. It is very
while and siiky. The sales yet
made of Virginia cotton, appear to
have been almost exclusively for the
domestic consumption. At 12 or 14
cents, it will yield a better profit
than wheel or corn.— Mites' Rio

spacious building occupied by them
was discovered »to bo on fire. It
was near the comb of the roof, and
in a few seconds the roof was in a
blaze. Alt attempts to arrest it,
were, from the first moment, per
fectly idle. Most of the papers and
furniture, and Lafayette’s portrait,
were saved; but so rapid were tiie
flames, that the whole interior of
the building was, in in a few minutes,
like a blazing oven. The wind drove
the flames directly towards the
town, and the theatre, and several
other buildings were several times
on fire. The Auditor and Treasur
er’s othces were saved, after the
former had been cleared of its con
tents. There is no doubt the fire
was accidental. It was but an hour
or two before, that the two Houses
were broke up by a fire in the Man

without much damage.

was missed when the stage arrived
at Ransom Grove, about eighteen
miles from town, and no trace of it
has yet been discovered. It is sup
posed to have been taken from the
Post Coach, while standing at the
Tavern door, at Harris Hill. Sev
eral passengers were in the stage
when it departed from this village,
but we understand none left it nor
does any suspicion attach to either ol
them. We cannot learn that any
amount of money was remitted from
town that day, and we believe all
payments of drafts, of which there
were several were stopped. A re
ward of otic hundred dollars, is offer
ed by the Post-master of this village,
for the apprehension of the robber,
and a liberal reward for the mail hag
and any portion of its contents. —

OREGON TERRITORY
This territory bounds the vast do
minion of ihe United estates, on the
West. It extends from the 42d to
the 49th degree of 1 attitude, and
from the 115th to the 125th,parallel
of longitude west of London. It is
hounded on the north by a narrow
belt of land, which separates our
possessions from those of Russia, on
ihe cast side by the Rocky Moun
tains, on the west by the Pacific, and
on the South by the Republic of
Mexico. It is a!>out 695,miles in
length by 400 in breadth, and con
tains 375,000 square miles, w uicb, if
all sufficiently fertile,would support a
population of five or six millions.—
This immense territory is almost un
known.—For the little knowledge
we possess, we are principally in
debted to the discoveries of Clark
and Lewis, which did not extend
much further than the banks of Co
lumbia river anil its tributaries. The
name of this river wag changed at!
the last session of Cbn?rr««. iwoOre-1
gou, which signified in the native
Indian language “ the river that
; flows to the west.” It has four great
branches, by which it is supplied ; the
north branch which still bears the
name of Oregon, Lewis and Clark’s
branches, which are each large riv
ers, 900 miles in length ; and the
Multnomah, or cast branch, heads
in the same mountatn with the Colo
rado, and the Rio del Norte, which
emptv into different oceans; the
hitter into the Atlantic by the Gulf
of Mexico, the Former into the Pa
cific by the Gulf of California. The
Oregon after receiving the Multno
mah. which is 1000 miles in length,
increases from one to live miles in
breadth, and meets with the Pacific
in 46 degrees 15 minutes of Atti
tude. A branch of the California
mountains run parulel with the sea
coast 100 miles distant, in a due
course north and south. The coun
try between this and the Rockv
Mountains is uneven, being a suc
cession ot hill and dale, of which
sonic of die latter ate very fertile.
'Fhe ground is many miles covered
with a beautiful growth of timothy
and clover, w hich w ill bo seen in the
next century, covered with droves
of cattle and sheep, feeding ou the
luxuriant herbage, and Monging to
man in a state ofcivilization. Front
the scarcity of wood, if stone coal
docs nob abound, this countrv would
be more suitable for a grazing ant!
manufacturing than an agricultural
community. One-fourth [tart of this
territory, that part that contains the
Oregon harbour, will at a future dtiy,
enter tho Republican Confederacy
as Oregon State ; and the city ot
Oregon, will arise on its banks, which
shall rival New-Y’ork or Philadelphia
in their wealth or population.—The
inhabitants of his territory, will onjoj
a fair share of the lucrative profits
ofthe fur trade, which is now princi
pally monopolized by the British.
They can also carry on a profitable
trade in leather or hides, which they
may, in the same abundance, procure
at the Republic of Buenos Ayres,
from the numerous flocks of cattle
which will feed oil their plains. The
wild sheep ofthe Rocky mountains
is indigenous in the Oregon territo
ry. The wool is represented as fine
and silky, and capable of being made
into the finest of broad cloths. This
might he made a source of profitable
manufacture, with other woollen
goods sold on such terms as would
supply the use of those of European
manufacture. There are many oth
er inducements which will cull tlu*
attention of Congress, at the -‘sent
session, to this territory. A bill was
laid over at the last session, author
izing a military post to 1 e est ablished
at the mouth of the Oregon river.
This if passed, would have a good
effect in preserving a large portion
ofthe fur trade for our citizens, as 1
stated before. This branch is very
valuable, and if no other con itlora
tiou was in the wav, would induce
Congress to overlook all local preju
dices and establish it, which will be
the first grand step towards the set
tling, and consequently civilization of
the country.
Important.—The 4th sect km of
the act to regulate the trade ofthe
British Possessions abroad, to take
effect the sth January, 1826, says:
“ He it further enacted, that tlie
privileges hereby granted to foreign
ships shall be limited to tlie ships ol
those countries which, having Co
lonial possessions, shall grant the
like priviledges oftrading with those
possessions to British ships, or which,
not having Colonial posse-sipi)?.,
shall place the Commerce And. Navi
gation of this country, and of it-
Posssesions abroad, upon tlie footing
of,the most favored nation, unless his
Majesty by his order in Council, shall
in any case deem it expedient tograut
the whole or any of such privileges
to the ships of any foreign country
although tlie conditions aforesaid'
shall not in all respects ho fulfilled bv
such foreign country.”
We learn from Halifax that (he
construction put upon this section!
by the officers of tlie customs, will
entirely exclude American vessels I
from the ports of British colonies, |
from and alter the sth proximo, “ in- j
asmuch as by the commercial treaties ]
between the U. States and Holland, J
Sweden and Denmark, the flags of
those countries are admitted from
their colonics, by the payment of
only six cents tonnage duty, whilst
those from the colonies of G. Britain
are charged one dollar per ton, Bri
tish vessels are not considered a
mong those of tho most favoured
nations.”
