Toward Georgia his lang nge is very calm. The principal point in dispute to the two men demanded, he states to be a question as to their being fugitives from justice. The Governor has had a correspondence with the Lieut Governor of New Brunswick, respecting the armed occupa tion, by two British companies, of Temiscouata lake, in the disputed territory ; and having ascer tained such to be the fact, he calls upon the Presi dent of the United States for that protection from ** invasion guarantied by the Constitution. Sir John * Harvey seems to admit such an occupation to be rti contravention us the agreement between him and 4 Gen. >cott, but excuses himself upon the ground that it hai taken place under t ie authorities of Lower Canada.

The lofty j spar and the white sail, soliciting the impulsive » power of the wind, the slow-moving boat, the ra- pid steamer, with its columns of dark smoke span gled with stars of tire, the lumbering wagon, and the flying car —these, and thousands besides, arc the implements of commerce, perpetually in mo tion, and making tic civilized world vocal with their mighty din.

Are they just, faithful, true to their engagements, obedient to the principle of sound morality, prudent, industrious, in a word, wi>e in true wisdom, which teaches to seek lawful ends by lawful and honorable means, and to spurn ail others, however tempting; are they such, they give a good name to their country and to their city, and impart thef agiancc of their well earned reputation to all around them.

White, respectfully informs the patrons of the “Southern Literary Messenger and the public generally, that the issue of the next No. of that periodical is necessarily delayed beyond the usual time of publication. The recent holidays, | and a damage which has occurred to the pres son j which the .Viessengci is struck oil', have retarded 1 the business of his office. He wou.d further n len- j i tion. that the publishing of an important essay up on the “Rights of the Slaveholding States, and I the owners of slave property, under ibe Constitu .tion I of the United Mates,” from the pen of Con way j Robinson, Esq., of this city, has also postpone! I the appearance of the Messenger. He believes, I iow ever, that the value and inteiest of this paper will fully aione for the delay. Being anxious to pre sent the whole essay at the same time to the pub- J lie, and aware that the issue of his periodical w ould be late for the month of January, he has conch jded to publish the January and February number s to gether His patrons wll!, therefore, receit e a double number , or the numbers for two monthi j un der one cover The publisher flatters himself, that both in typographical and literary excellence ■, the two coming numbers will equal, if not exceed., any that he has ever given to the public. Beside s the important essay already mentioned, and w hich possesses such a peculiar interest at the pre sent time, they will contain a notice of the recen t at tack unon Dr. Channing in the Edinburgh Rev dew, from the pen of a Baltimore.in.

T. W. W. calculates to issue this double nu mber of the Messenger on or before the Ist day of Feb ruary. Richmoid, Va., January 10, 1840. A Parson’s Story.

But let n >thing. except being bed-rid den, prevent you from exercising that inestimable privilege, the elective franchise. Never disgrace yourself by an absence from the polls, under the unjustifiable, fallacious plea, that your single vote is oi no consequence. Some of the most impor tant measures of legislative bodies, here and else where, have been carried by majorities of one, two, or three. The vote on the abdication of James 11. and the elevation of William and Ma y to the throne of Great Britain was carried by a majority of (wo— -51 to 49! ! Let this be an unceasing warning to you of the importance of a vote or two.

A fuu fratußnad Democrat. —"The Unton eulogises Mr. Pickens of S. Ca"olina. as a ‘full feathered democrat.’ His evidence, therefore against the party in power cannot be controvert ed. Three years ago, he thus spoke of it on the floor of Congress: i “Sir,” said Mr. Pickens, “sycophancy and ser vility have taken the place of all the heroic and manly virtues. The rooks, together with obscene b rds, have pe r ched themselves in the high plaess of the land, and we sit here beneath surrounded daily with their filth and corruption.” “This gentleman,” [Mr. Cambrelengj said Mr. Pickens, “has said this nation had been convert ed into a great gambling house. He asked, who had brought it to this condition 1 The party now in power—a viler, a more degraded, a wore corrupt set of WRETCHES never lived. Ihe contempt of all plodges, man-worshipping, office seeking.

In our report of Saturday morning last, we stated that the Cotton market exhibited a drooping appear ance at the time our inquiries terminated on the evening previous, but the transactions of that day, which amounted to about 30- 0 bales, did not show any further material change in prices. By Sunday’s mail we were put in possession of advices from Liverpool to the 2 d, and from Havre to the 17th November, brought to New i ork by the packet ship South America. The transactions in Cotton at Liverpool so a few days subsequent to the 16th, (the date of our former advices,) are repoited as having been rather extensive, with an improvement of $ to sd. per lb.; but afterwards, the demand having considerably subsided, prices went back to their former po-ition —say 7$ a for fair. At Havre there had been a to!erab*y fair business doing in Cotton, but, owing to the dull state of trade generally, and to the doubts enter tained by most importers in regard to the future course of business, prices had receded from 2 to 3 centimes. These accounts, so far as we can learn, have had no perceptible effect on our market. The sales ot Monday, which reached to fully 7500 bales, were at undevialing prices, as were those of yesterday, which however d'd not amount to more than IUUO bales. The supply of the finer grades of Cotton is but small at present, and the stock of all sorts on sale is moderate for the season. The sales of the three days are about 12000 bales, which we notice as follows, viz: 70 bales Louisiana and Mississippi at 8$ cents ; 21 at 8 ; 14 at S£; 412 at 9$ ; 212 at 8; 107 at 8$; 36 at 6$ ;58 at 75*369 at 8f ; 58 at 8$ ; 43 at 6} ; 1600 at 8 ; 800 at 8 ; 1130 at 8 ; 558 at 8$ ; 280 at 10$ ;30at 8$ ; 200 at 84 ; 33 at 9$ ; 60 at 8j ; 233 at 8 ; 220 at 9 ; 42 at 8|; 41 at 8 ; 700 at 8f; 1300 at 8f ; 730 at 8$ ; 91 at 8g; 79 at 9; 400 at 9 ; 50 at 9 ; 416 at 9$ ; 230 at 10$ ; 326 at 7| ; 159 at 9$ cents ; and 140 Texas at 7$ cents.

These are the earliest boats of the fleet known to be on the way; and, although there has been some litt.e exp ». t demmd, yet the rather large receipts, and the expectation that the stock will be considerably augmented in a few days,have caused a further decline in prices. We now quote Superfine at $5,50 a 5,75, with a dull market. H hiskey. —The demand for this article is/ex tremely inactive, and, although the receipts are limited, prices have given way.
