Death of Sir Walter Scott. —An Ed
inbuigh paper of September 22d, received
by ihe edii«*r of the N. York Alias an
nounces ihe death of Sir Waller Scott in
ihe following terms:
Sir Walter Scott died at Abbotsford
yesterday afternoon, aboui half past une
o’clock. No form of words could express
our deep and emphatic sense ol ihe event
we are called upon lo announce—and we
employ the simplest. It was the will of
God that the spark of Divine Essence
should return whence it had emanated, —
and a painful preparation had taught us all
to acqniece. We do not lament Sir
W ilier Scott’s decease. The Great—the
Good—the gifted is lakeu from among us
only when it was no longer desirable that
ihe ruined clayey tenement should impris
on its immortal tenant. We forbear dwel
ling upon the few trifling details that have
reached us. The event itself compre
hends all. Amidst the homage and te*
gret of millions, he passes from our Earth
who never had an enemy on,its surface.
No dteath that can bofal, not in our coun
try alone, but in the whole civilized world
could be so universally felt.
Kings may bow their heads, and mighty
men pass Way unregarded, if not unno
ticed, but- the death of Sir Walter
Scott comes strangly home totho symp
athies of every human being that ever
heard of bis name, and understood but the
least part that immortal name signified.
Inch are the claims and triumphs of gen
ius. when united as in his instance, with
the finest spirit of humanity that ever at
tempered human clay, and made good
ness visible. On the death of Sir Phil
ip Sidney ali England paid his memory
the spontaneous homage of wearing
mourning. A greater man has fallen in
Scotland.
PREMOINTORY SYMPTOMS.
Mr .Archibald Anchery, contrary to
the advtce of the Medical Faculty and
Boardof Health, had cabbage for his din
ner; it was his favorite vegetable—for
he was a tailor. In this there appears
nothing strange, but at the time the peo
ple had, from eating half a peach or a
slice of melon, died of severe spasms.
What then could Mt. Archibald Anchojy
expect?—he having ate heartily of cab
bage? His troubles and anxiety com
menaed with slight cramps, and being
pretty well convinced he had the symp
toms, he began to think of the remedies.
He had hearp camphor,aichel, asafeetidn,
cayenne pepper, brandy, &c. tecommeo
ded—and concluded very naturally, that
the latter would answer his purpose to a
tee. He accordingly swallowed half a
tumbler full and then began a long walk
to produce perspiration and aid the diges
tion ofthe cabbage. Unconscious of
his toute, he soon found himself by the
side of anew made grave in one of the
bu*ial yards, and thiuging conversation
might divest him of the thoughts of the
cabbage, lie began a colloquy with the
£rave digger.
" What did he die of?” asked Archi
bald.
“Cholera,” replied the man, “from
eating imprudently of cabbage.”
The pain in Archibald’s stomach grew
worse. He made his way hastily to the
nearest tavern, took another dose of his
favorite remedy, and continued his walk.
On the way he met a friend who inquired
if he had heard of the sudden death of
J'-e Snooks.
“No,” said Archibald, “what did he
die of?”
“Cholera.”
“Was he imprudent in his diet?”
“Yfes; he eat beat tily of cabbage.”
Archibald felt “coldness at Hie extrem
ities”—and stopped at the nearest tavern
to take another comforter. He still con
tinued his uncertain way towards homo,
occasionally taking a glass as tire premon
itory symptoms” became more alarming
—when ho met a funeral.
“What caused that person’s death?”—
asked he of a by-stander.
“Cholera from eating too much cab
bage!” &■
Archibald took another dose—the cold
perspiration ran from every pore in his
skin—he thought of church yards, grave
diggers and dry bones; and when he reach
ed his house,he fell sprawling in the entry,
i«rd w. s carried to bed seuieless.
“Alack— alas!” exclaimed his discon
solate wife, I knew it would be so—he’s
got the Cholera from eating that plapuey
cabbage!”
Archibald heard those doleful sounds
with fear and trembling—he thought him
self in a state of collapse for be could nut
speak—fear and his liberal potations
cheeked his utterance. At length he fell
into a deep sleep—dreamt of fiery dra-
Tons, yelling imps, cholera and cabbage.

AUGUSTA.
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16.
COTTON—Through the week has brought
unreasonably ‘high prices, 11a 12—114 * •HJ
has been the ruling rate from wagons. To day
we notice less spirit to buy mid a decline of 4
to 3-8 and in some instances have been submitted
to. Whether the market will be supported, re
mains with shippers to decide, who now consider
the article dangerous to carry over the water.
We have received no New-Orleans papers for
some days. The Mails between that city and
Mobile have been very irregular of late, and that
perhaps, has been the cause of oar not receiv
ing any late information of the prevalence of
the Cholera in that city—having no later intel
ligence than that published in oar last. The
Mobile Register of Bth inst. contains nothing—
except an Ordinance of the Mayor prohibiting
the introduction of Ostler* within its corporate
limits, ns it is presumable that that city will
hardly be exempt from the visitation of the des
troying pesti ence. We do not recollect having
seen aoy public notice of quarantine regulations
instituted at Mobile for vessels from infected
ports—an,l if this is the fact, which we believe,
we m-.y naturally conclude that such will be the
result, from the constant communication be
tween these two cities
Failing to receive New-Orleans papers of later
date than the 31st ult. we have many fears that
they have ceased to publish them. This could
alone b« caused by the fearful extent of disease
in that city.
Since the above was in type we learn front a
.leiter received in this city dated New-Orleans
6th inst. that upwards of 2,000 deaths bad oc
curred there the ten preceding days.
Letters from Charleston of the 15th inst con
firm the statements we extract from the papers
of that place of the day previous. No new case
of Cholera had been reported up to the time of
the departure of the stage. We indulge the hope
that we shall not soon again hear of this Visita
tion of the pestilence upon our hordcTl
The Boston Dai% Advertiser and Patriot
states, that Mr. Webster is preparing an argu
ment in reply to Mr. Calhoun’s recently pub
lished defence ofthe doctrine of Nullification, and
that it is probable it will soon be laid before the
the public.
Gharlks S. Bibb. Esq. recently appointed
United States Judge in the Territory es Arkan
sas, and the eldest son of Georoe M. Bibb, U.
States Senator from Kentucky, died near the Yel
low Banks, onthe 15th inst., fiaving been attack
ed the morning before with Cholera.
The Savannah Republican, of the 13ih inst. says
—We understand that the individual, Edward
WYse, who escaped from Folly Island, for viola
ting the Quarantine regulations of Charleston,
and for whose apprehension a reward of SSO
was offered, arrived in this city on Saturday last,
(it is supposed by land.) As soon as the infor
mation was given to our Police, immediate
search was made for him—but bis having learnt
that he was in pursuit of, made bis way for Au
gusta.—We make this statesroent, not on’y as a
matter of commendation to our Police for theii
vigilance, but as information for that of Augusta;
although we see no cause of alarm to be appre
hended front his residence in any city, as all
must be dispelled, for is it hnrdlv to be supposed
that he could have contracted .hat disease and
retained to this time, without showing itself.
From our Correspondent."]
Milledgeville, Nuv. 13, »
Representative Chamber. )
My last was despatched t<» you in the
midst of an interesting debate last night,
which did net close till 7 o’clock. It
arose incidentally on a motion nf Mr.
Torrence for the appointment of a com
mittee of twenty one to draft resolu
tions and report the business fur the
Convention. On a motion by Mr. For
syth, to postpone that business till the
next day, as a reason for it he suggested
the propriety and necessity of first ascer
taiqing the authority under which the
Convention was to act. This enquiry
would scrutinize the credentials of dele
gates —'heir pretentions to be the repre
sentatives of the counties from which
they professed to come. The original
agitators of the Convention seemed to be
unwilling to have their claims questioned
lo be what they purposed to be, and those
opposed to this measuie from the begin
ning, appeared to think, that theii oppo
nents, by the success of their motion, in
tended to adroitly pass by this important
preliminary investigation, and commit
the Convention to act as one, whether it
bad a right to be so considered or not.
The debate brought out Forsyth, Berri
en, Cummiug, Clay too, and others of less
note, and elicited more feeling than one
would suppose lay smothered iu the calm
exterior of a pacific assembly. Diamond
cut diamand. Greek met Greek. For
syth’s superiority was striking. In the
course of Mr. Forsyth’s and Col. Cum
ming’s remarks, some of the circumstan
ces that attended the elections and nomi
nations of delegates weie intimated, such
as their being returned by very small mi
norities of their Counties, Mr. Forsyth
stated particularly, that it was possible,
on investigation of members’ credentials,
and the facts connected with the elections,
it might turn out, that those, who were
really entitled to be considered as fairly
repieseming their alleged constituents,
were a minority of those present, and rep
resented even a minority of the people of
Georgia. Under such circumstances he
could not consent to that body’s acting as
a Convention of the State. These allu
sions to the circumstances attending the
choice of delegates, Mr Spalding seemed
to take to himself, as he and Dr Troup,
are said to bo sent from M'lotnsh coun
ty b> a vote of 40 electors out of about
300, and a representative population of
nearly 3500—fr-m a county tot, that
passed decided Union resolutions, and is
entirely opposed to the measure of a Con
vention. This gentleman has a high-ton
•, , . » , j
cd revolutionary voice, fend sfftnft (a pos
sess the hot temperament of a Ntdlifier in
blazing perfection. In allusion to Mr
EoiSyth’s supposition of a minority, be
exclaimed, on the highest key, “ If the
friends of a Convention were no& in the
minority, by the God that made me, they
shall not be so a year hence.” This
burst Os blasphemy vas received with
yelling, such as you may have heard in a
circus, by the blackguards in the gallery,
nod some on the floor It appears to me
tint’ the JViullifiois are determined that the
Convention shall act in some manner.
It would, no doubt, be a sore mortifica
tion to some of the delegates, as Mr F<>r
syfh said, if the circumstances, which
might appear on the scrutiny he suggest
ed, should justify the Convention to
breaking up without doing any thing more,
than referring the whole matter to the
Legislature, the regular and legal organ
of the people’s will. It begins to be very
apparent, I think, that no violent ccurse
will be ever suggested by any body, be
cause it is is well ascertained, that the
people would not sanction it. The Nul
lifying loaders of the Trntip party, in (he
Convention, are thought to have recon
ciled their friends of opposite national po
litics, as to the insolations they will pro
pose to carry, add the almost party vote,
which was given in the organization of
the Convention, strengthens that opinion.
Politicians are m&e acute in discovering
which way the wind blows, than any oth
er weathercocks within my knowledge—
certainly more so than the one on your
market steeple, which I once knew to
point -steadily for six months in one di
rection. if, however, the politicians,
like it, should finally point right, let us
forgive ihem, while we watch closely all
their future movements.
The energetic organization of the op
posite party in the Convention has to my
mind been strikingly illustrated by a va
riety.of circumstances. They all act in
perfect concert. There is no clashing,
i have not the slightest doubt, that every
movement was propunc'di ted.—every thing
cm and dried—who should move, who
should be nominated for the temporary
Chair, and who for the President. Os this
fact, in relation to Mr. Gilmer, I want no
better evidence* than that he read, from a
paper which lie laid on the desk, the re
marks lie made to the Convention on ta
king the Chair.
Judges Johnson and H uper, the Del
egates from the two parties iu South Car
olina are both in attendance, and with the
liberal courtesy of gentlemen lodge in the
same room. Gen, Glascosk introduced
a resolution, which was carried, request
ing ’he Speaker to invite them to seats in
this H«use.
On Saturday', Mr. Davies of Richmond
moved for a committee to prepare and
report a bill to make Banks ar.d other cor

regulate proceedings against garnishees ip
certain cases.
By Mr Haynes—To alter the mode of
electing the Judges of the ’Supern r
Courts, and transfer said elections to the
people of the respective circuits.
By Mr Solomon—To repeal an art ex
tending the charter of the Bank of the
State of Georgia and the acts now in force
amendatory thereto, passed 22d Decem
ber, 1830.
By Mr Thurmond—To compensate
owners of staves, who riaay be convicud
and executed for capital offences, and an
nex u penalty on those who may be con
victed of convoying sufch slaves out of th
State, or secreting ‘hem.
The House appointed a committee, to
join one from the Senate to investigate
the concerns of th > Bank of Macon, with
power to send for pe-sons and papers.
The Senate passen the bill appointing
an additional set of lottery commissioners;
and it this morning passed the House.
It will be suggested to the Clark party,
as a mark of respect for the memory of
their former louder, Gen. John Clark,
to wear crape on the felt arm for thirty
days.
The remarks I made in relation to the
scramble for the public hands to work on
the roads in different parts of the State,
are illustrated every day in the House of
Representatives. Probably to put an end
to ihff wltolo operation, it is proposed to
sell the public hands. Another proposi
tion is to increase their number. ’
The Senate to day passed a bill enti
tling heads of families, without wives,
with one nr more legitimate children, to
draws in the lotteries, and legalizing the
draws put in by widowers and widows.
A bill was to day repotted in the house
to authorise the construction of a bridgo

To lay out a trading town, and dispose

You may remember, Mr. Editor, how
I boasted lately of my comfortable quar
ters, See. lam still in statu quo. I have
been a little sick—p ob.ibi> from that
brandy, which I alone set the bad exam
ple es drinkipg, at q table, who*® toeru
are Bet loss than SO boarders'. In my
canvalesence, 1 begin to think I gave you
a bad reason lor doing so —thaj I did not
think it right tit do abroad as a man does
at home. Home—that sweet name, re- .
minds mo of another ill 1 have been sub~
ject to. It is the piatice to place the su
gar on the table, and the boarder sweetens
his own coffee. Now, you, who have a
wife to sweeten your bowl of coffee, and
for any thing I know, to taste it too, to
see if it Is right, can well judge of the
grievance of swallowing at least the half
of the first saucer-full before you are re
minded of the absence of so important
an ingredient. Please, Mr. Ediiof, to
take this into consideration, and while
you are so intently engaged on the %reat
matters of the State, you will not forgot
the comfoits of one of its most obscure
citizens.
Representative Chamber, 1
November 13—3 o’clock. J
The gallery is again crowded to wit
ness the proceedings of the Convention.
The weight last evening was so great as
to break the plastering under it. 1 forget
to tell you that Mr. Torrance’s motion
for the appointment of a Committee of 21
persons to draft resolutions, See. was car
ried. On calling the names.of the Coun
ties, which was done' from the Clerk’s
not having been able to make out an al
phabetical list of the Members, it appear
ed that 59 Counties were represented in
some way by some body. Rockwell,
Dawson and Allen reported Rules for the
Government ofthe Convention.
The point, which 1 informed you, in
my last, was incidentally debated, came
up directly, on a motion by Mr Forsyth,
this evening, to appoint a Committee of
5 persons to examioe the facts connected
with the elections of the Delegates, so as
te ascertain the right of Members to sit &
the authority of the whole to represent the
people of the State of Georgia. It was
violently resisted, and occupied the atten
tion of the Convention till 7s, when it
arljourneii. Mr Berrien was the last
speaker, & frem the eulogy he pronounc
ed on a proposition, which he said he was
about to submit, much expectation was
created and speculation as to what it could
be ; when, behold ! it was to adjourn. —
The Ayes and Noes rere called, when, it
appeared that Mr Berrien voted against
his own motion—which was Inst. A mo
tion was then made for the President to
nominate the Committee,. directed to be
appointed on yes«erday, which the Presi
dent had asked the indulgence of the
Convention to allow him time to select.
After some little opposition as a point of
order, the names were read. They are
Messrs. BJackshear, Berrien, Forsyth,
Cumtning, Clayton, Cuthbert, Gamble,
Reese, Spalding, Tail, Rockwell, Beall
of Bibb, Taylor of Burke, Bailey, tVaru
er, Da wso.n, Haynes, Gordon oY Putnam,
Clatk of Henry, Jones and El ai r is.
Mr Berrien then renewed his motion
to adjourn, which was carried He this
ime, 1 presume, voted for it. The s**|e
object of all this mnrceuviing is to commit
the Convention to act as one.
The debate on Mr Forsyth’s resolu
* >n, which occupied the whole sitting,
.t is a highly interesting and animated
. -f. Messrs. Rockwoli and Torrance
flered substitutes, which were finally u
tinad into une, which was to appoint a
Committee of Privileges and Elections,
ty in the Legislature, to examine the cre
dentials of members and report to the
meeting , as it was several timds called
Mr. Forsyth shewed, that this wasan eva
d n. This body, Ire contended had nn
p y ivitegci in the sense meant in legislative
b idies—was an irrpguiar assembly with
out any forms to regulate its proceedings
prescribed by,law, and could not be ana
logised to bodies recognized by the con*
stitotir.n and laws, and regulated accord
ingly by prescribed directions. The usa
ges of a legislative comminee of. Privil
eges and Election § was incompatible with
the operation of those broad and equita
ble principles, which should govern the
investigation he proposed.. A Commit
tee of Privileges and Elections would
only look at the credentials laid onthe
Cletk’s desk. Those who opposed Mr
Forsyth’s motion, were for confining the
scrutiny to such cases only as should be
designated by protests, or the suggestion
of any member, that such a one was not
entitled to a seat. Mr. Forsyth shewed
Hie delicacy of such a course, and said he
did nd wish to know how any individual
made good his right to his seat ; but he
wished to know, through a constituted
organ of this body, what was the authori
ty of the whole to set here and act fur the
people of Georgia. He obseived, that
this assembly could not be ignorant of the
suspicions entertained in relation to the
sufficiency of many returns and noticed
one, which had just been laid On the table
from Glynn ; and was a certificate from
the members of the Legislature from that
eounty, Davis and Dart, that the citizens
had held a meeting, sometime in Septem.
ber last, and passed resolutions, disap
proving Convention, which, however,*
were only verbal and never reduced to
writing, aud it was the understanding of
the citizens, that if (here was a Conven
tion, these members, on their arrival at
Milledgeville should select a delegate.
Other irregularities were noticed by oth
er speakers, but as I have before alluded
to them, I will not now notice them.
You will perceive that in either event,
the rejection or adoption of Mr. Forsyth's
resolution, will probably lead to the re
sult, which I have beforo predicted as the
fate of this Convention. Your friends
will not recede from the stand they have
taken to ascertain the authority, by which
this body assumes to represent the people
of the State. Several attempts were
made tu shake their firmness by saying,
thafthe measures that would be probably
recommended, were advisory, and Mr.
Spalding said, when the Convention come
to be christened, he would move, that it
should be called, a Convention of a por

and defend the rights and liberties of the
people of Georgia See. aud commented
j upon them in U stinia of eloquent sar
j casm, but little to the Satisfaction of an
1 honorable delegate.from Clark, who sal
just before him. On the other hand, if
! the investigation insisted upon by Mr
Forsyth should be granted, of the policy
l of doing which, I thiuk it was the object
of the party in adjourning to consult, I be
i lieve it will be discovered that a sufficient
. authority Has not been given by the pe«-
! pie of Georgia to this body to act as a
; Convention in iheir name. The friends
of the country will act accordingly. Mr.
! Forsyth gave the meeting, as he sorne
■ times called i', the distinct intimation,
| that he not retain his seat, unless
! the legitimate .authority of that body was
* first ascertained to act for the people of
1 Georgia. This measure has received
: much reflection from me, and as you well
j know, met my unceasing hostility. lis
blvto itp will be another evidence of the
good sense of the people of Georgia. If
it could be justified in acting without first
declaring itself duly authorized, and prov
ing that authority, 1 would now desire it
to act in consequence of its supposed
bearing on South Carolina, whose course,
it is alleged by some, and as is reported,
by both delegates from that State not
Hheie, the recommendation ol a Southern
Convention would arrest. .This I do uot
believe. Carolina will Nullify, to talk
as is too common in this Convention, as
sure as there is a G—d in Heaven. Her
great men have too muc'i at stake, and
the people are too deeply deluded for so
sudden a reaction. Nothing but physical
force will arrest the mad career of, the
statesmen who, in that State, are bent on
sinking o ; r swimming on the result of this
most fearful experiment. I have already
intimated to you, that this Convention,
if it does any thing, will recommend nia,
derate measures, and as the climax, a
Southern Convention. Os this I have
not the slightest doubt. The Legislature
too, in both branches, will pass similar re*
solutions by triumphant majorities, ap
proaching unanimity.
I told you Forsyth’s superiority in de
bate was striking. It is universally ac
knowledged by those within my hearing.
Mv own idea of his talents in this respect
though so high did not do him justice.. He
was very great, and every wordthat issued
from his lips last night, in some of the
scenes of the Drama, fell* like drops of
fire, on tlte hearts of some of hi? oppo
nents. He towered in the cof.-flict like
Biroii’s.Pirate in the hall of Seyd. The
old Pacha of Clark, raised both his hands
to save bis head, and the smaller fry, such
as Crews of Upson and Alford of Troup,
were most unmercifully slaughtered nr
indignantly passed as worthy only the
swords of his followers.
“E’en Seyd,conruhed, o’erwhclm’fl with rage,
surprise,
Retreats before him.”
The following Resolutions were intro
dued by Mr. Forsyth: Resolved , That a
coninrriitee of five bo appointed bv the
President to examine and report to this
body, at its uext meeting, the authority of
• lie persons assembled as delegates from
the different counties us the Slate to rep
resent the people of their respective coun
ties ; the resolutions, if any under wliich
the election in each county was held ; the
notice given of the time of the election ;
the manner of holding it ; the number of
votps given at the election, and the num
ber of votes in the county.” “ Resolved ,
That the individuals who have acted as a
Committeo of what is known as the A
thens meeting, be and they are hereby re
quested, to present to this body, the cor
respondence they have held connected
with tho object of their appointment.”
I regret to say, that the audience of the
Convention is extremely disorderly, arid
Mr. Gilmer’s amiable temper and gentle
deportment disqualify him to preside over
so revolutionary an assembly. The corn
men theatrical mews of evidencing ap
probation,on the contrary, are freely used,
and.this exhibition is not altogether confi
ned to the audience. On several occa
sions fast evening, when bad judgment'
threw inferior warriors to the front ofthe
battle,the Influenza seemed to have
very suddenly seized a considerable por
tion of the Convention, which was as sud
denly cured by the appearence of Forsyth,
Berrien, See. Solemn oaths too are so
common, that the ear of geod taste, to say
nothing of any other rnnsideratiops is per
petually offended. Ooe delegate said last
night, in reference to the excitement of
the country, “By the Almighty and Eter
nal G—d, it shall not cease as long as my
country is oppressed.” The excitement
and tumult was ouce so considerable that
an honoiable delegate suggested, that the
officers of the house were not sufficient to
preserve order, and that a military force
would bo necessary. lam sorry to re
cord such facts, as they reflect on the
character of our people, but I notice them
that pubiic opinion may be brought to
bear on stfch abuses and correct them.
The Convention met again at 3 o’clock
(Nov. t 4) Forsyth’s resolutions the order.
Berrien moved to amend them'by propo
sing to strike out all that followed Coun
ties and insert that the report of said com
mittee be submitted to the people for
their approval. Col Cummiug replied to
the remarks which the mover of the a
mendmen* made in its support and called
it the “most perfect specimen of techni
cal exquisiteness he bad ever seen.” I
have not time to give you the full range
of the debate, which is very discursive,
embracing every 'bing, before the mail
closes; but Cumtning ic the course of his
remarks, broke, likfe a blunt but hones*
ioto the ranks of the opposition
which acknowledged the force of the
charge by a correspondent recoil and re

Extract of a tetter from another dor rear,
pendent,dated \ ;
Milledgeville, Nov. 14.
The Coavention was very inteftpsting
yesterday and the day before. Mr. Fctrv
syth introduced a resolution, the objec; of
wbi< h was ta have a Committee appointed
to inquire into thp qualification of melt)*
bers. This has much alarmed the Nol
lies. They had got up little juntos, and
sent members from some of the strongest
Union Counties in the State. And soma
o the certificates by whiqh they hold, (for
the preseni) their seats, are actual curiosi
ties. Mi Forsyth and the party that goes
with him, I believe would be indifferent
about these moo setting af er the investi
gation is bad, but do not ,wish a recom
mendation logo forth to the State, and to
the world, as that of the . people of the
Sovereign4ltate of Georgia, wljeD in fact
it would be that of only a respectable por
tion of them. It is certainly .wrong tha’t
the peoplfrof the State themselves should
bo thus cheated. They would feol a very
strong obligation of duty to obey the
wishes of a full Convention, representing
the sovereignty af the State, whereas, they
would only respect the recommendation of
Delegates nf a pftrt of the people, in pro
portion to their number ami character.—
The debate has resuhed in nothing as yet.
but the entire triumph of Mr Forsyth as
debater over the great men who have,
been so iinfortotiate as to measure with
him. Thfue was much whispering
meeting, that Boirien this session was to
measure strength with Forsyth and ‘'fin
ish” him; but however stubborn the VVaf.*
Troup, or Gilmer party, may be in theii:
adhesion to party, and party men, in
other matters, they seem to be unanimous*,
ly magnanimous enough (so faj as I have
heard them speak) to acknowledge their
disappointment in this discussion, and corr* t
fess a signal defeat. Even Mr. Berri<'n’9|
best friends confess that in casual debato
Mr. Berrien is n* match for him, but
think Mr Berrien would tank with him in
a studied . debate.
Mr Forsyth when animate I is decidedly
the greu'est orator 1 ever heaid. I had
no idea myself of his powers He has
here every cause to exert his Herculean
strength. . He knew* he is surrounded by
hisenemies—Sect ndrate politicians—wh ».
think this a favorable time to take advan
tage of what they call his “ submission
principles,” to effect his downfall in tho
State. Whether they will succeed er uot
will depend on the fidelity of the people
to ihe Union and their tror interest. Se
veral of the small fry have made at
him, but were killed off” with lit>!e ef
fort, and “ Attifus” made a flutter or two,
but was aordhilrted iu a twinkling—#nd it
was hu.tuori uslt reroarkod by a strangee
landing near ipe, that he never satv “At
ticuv” (naturally shorty look, so o<rty.kort
as wh-n Mt Forsyth poin'ed a 1 him ia
his reply to 000 of his demagogical ihop
sodies. Ho made v charge as it were < f
all his “ manacles,” hi* “ liberty.” his
“slavery,” his “ oppression*. “ tuslt
nmfeis*” his “not'hem oKtyioii,” h*s •
“50,per.cent8,” and ‘spinning jonimV'*
and blew him la: > atoms with It. Anil
when he spoke,of the abuses of (Yef'dojity-'
sacred vocahnjjiry by ambitious dema
gogues, for their, unholy purposes’ “Ani
ens” had well nigh cd; under rris chair.—
What will ho the vote iu Convolution, njj_
any essential measure on our fotfetal rela-„
tions I knew not, the votes hetetofern
are no tost, for reasons I have now nei
ther time nor paper to give.
