ENGLAND.
From the Times of August 8.
Friday evening.—A reaction has taken
place to day in the funds, through fear of
the consequences that may attend the se
vere measures adopted in France, and
which are held to be incompatible with the
tranquility of the country. This is not,
however, the universal opinion, as may
consider that government, by the late at
trocious attack on the King, is rendered
sufficiently strong to carry them through
without danger. On the whole, there was
a great disposition to sell stock, in order
to be the better prepared against the worst
IRELAND.
There was an alarming riot at Dublin
on the 3d of August, growing, as usual,
out of the dissensions of the o angemen
and the reformers. Between twenty and
thirty thousand p-rsons were assembled,
many armed with bludgeons, knives,pikes,
stones, &c. Two companies of the 99th
regiment, and the city horse and foot po
lice were,summoned, and succeeded at
length in quelling the disturbance, but not
until several persons were severely wound
ed.
Another account says the assemblage
could not be short of sixty thonsand.
The popularity of Lord Mulgrave was
still increasing
FRANCE.
An important and decisive measure has
been taken by the French Minister, found
ed upon the late attempt upon the life of
the King; nothing less than a new code
of laws for the regulation ofthe press. It
was presented to the Chamber of Deputies
on the 4th of August, by the President of
the Council, and contains 21 articles, the
most important of which are as follows :
Art. 2. For ridiculing the pt rson or the
authority ofthe King, from six months to
five years in prison—fine, with loss of all
civil rights, 500 to 10,000 f.
Art. 3. For mentioning or even allu
ding to the name of the King in any po
litical disquisition, imprisonment from one
month to a year, and a fine of from 500 to
5,000 f.
Art. 4. To reflect in writing upon the
form and principle of the King’s Govern
ment is high treason, to be punished by
detention (unlimited) and a fine of from
10,000 to 50.000 f.
Art 5. Whoso shall avow himself a
Republican, of suggest that the Govern
ment ought to assume th it form, to be im
prisoned from six months to five years,and
fined from 5000 to 10,000 f.
Art. 6. Similar denunciation to the lat
ter against all who shall call themselves
Carlists or profess Carllist views of gov
ernment.
Art. 7. A journal convicted twice, to be
fined doubly, and even four times the a
mount for every succeeding offence.
Art. 8. Anv editor opening subscrip
tions to pay offa fine, to be imprisoned for
that offence from one month to one year,
and fined from 500 to 5000 f.
Art. 10. Every Editor must sign each
number of his paper, penalty 500 to 3000 f
Art. 12. A n Editor refusing to disclose
the name of the author of any article, im
prisonment from a month to a year, and
fine from 1000 to 5000 f.
Art. 13. A new Editor must be named
if the journal is to continue its publication
during the imprisonment of the former ed
itor.
Art. 14. No political caricature what
ever to be published in Paris without the
previous consent of the !\4inister ofthe in
terior, or in the provinces without that of
the prefect—fine from 100 to 1000 francs
and imprisonment.
Arts 15. and 16 relate to political rep
resentations at the theatres, which are
proscribed under severe penalties.
Th* remaining articles to 21 are of a
technical nature, and may be generally
described as giving the Law officers of the
Crown great advantages over the defend
ants, and as materially circumscribing the
right of appeal to 'he Court of Cassation,
hitherto tile best hope of persecuted
F renchmen.
Another bill authorizes the secret vote
by juries, and empowers a jury to pro
nounce a sentence of condemnation by a
majority of 7 to 5
All the arrested editors were Set at lib
erty on the 4th. 'l’he real name of the
assassin has been ascertained to be Joseph
Freschi. Il is said that he was formerly a
police agent, employed by the French
Government to watch the Dutchess de
Berri. He was out of danger, and un
derwent examination every day; but no
proof of an extended conspiracy had yet
been d scovered.
The following list of pensions and do
nations 'o the relatives of the persons kil
led, wasa'so ] resent-d to the chamber
A pension of2o,oooir. to tho widow of
Marshal Monier; with a reversion to her
son. A pension of 6.00 U francs to Mad
ame Fauchete, widow of Gen. de Lachas
se de Verigny, with the reversion in th’rds
to her three children. A pension qF3OOO
francs to Madame Strasser, mother of
Captain Vilate. A pension of 3,000
francs to Major General Blinn, as a na
tional recompence, which he will receive
with the retired pay already enjoyed by
him.
A Toulon fitter says; “It appears th t
the Government is afraid of a new at
tempt fiom the elder branch. Extraordi
nary measures of precaution have been
taking all along the coast. A person from
Ciotat, who had come a coasting voyage,
observed at ever point remarkable activity.
Numerous posts of custom house officers
are established between Toulon and Ci
otat, and the sentinels, who are stationed
at short distances from each other, appear

FUNERAL OF 'I’HE VICTIMS OF
JULY 28.
The sad solemnity !y which it was in
tended t.i close the fatal and deplorable
tragedy that so cruelly interrupted the re
joicings oflast week, being appointed for
yesterday—the. day fixed upon for the in
terment of the murdered victims—every
part ofthe metropolis began, ata very ear
ly hour in the morning, to display the bus
tle of preparation for the melancholy cer
emony. Crowds were seen egressing
from all quarters to every point which
promised to command a viewofthe mourn
ful procession, while numerous groups of
General Officers, National Guards, and
detachments of the line, were encountered,
crossing each other in every direction,
hastening to the posts assigned them in
the performance oLthe solemn duties of
the day.
The National Guards were in immense
force. Not only those of the capital, but
corps from all the towns, villages, and
hamlets, in the environs, were in attend
ance; some had even sent detachments
from a distance of upwards of thirty miles.
These brave citizen troops, always the
firmest fritnds of public order, and never
backward when their services are really
required, seem to have felt the necessity of
manifesting their detestation ofthe late at
trocious crime, and its abettors, should any
such monsters exist, by this significant ex
pression of their sympathies with the suf
ferers.
The shops of the capital were, with
scarcely an exception, entirely closed, not
only in the line of the procession, but in
the remotest parts of the town; in fine, no
thing was omitted which could mark the
respectful sympathy ofthe public at large
with the sorrowful occasion. The line of
the Boulevards was, as usual, the great
point of attraction, and their entire extent,
from the place de la Bastile to the church
of the Madoleine, was crowded with spec
tators; balconies, windows, trees, and tem
porary stands, wherever accommodations
could be afforded, or a human form be
placed, not a spot was untenanied bv an
anxiousthough silent gazer upon the so
leinnly gorgeous pagent. At precisely
half past eight, the remains of each were
removed from ’lie chapel I • ardente in the
church of St. Paul,where they had lain in
state since Saturday last, and placed in
their repective hearses. This task being
completed, the sad procession moved on
ward. Their mourningcoaches,tn which
were the clergy ofthe church of St. Paul,
preceded the first hearse, in which was
the body of Mademoiselle Remy, who met
her untimely fate at the age of 14.
The effect ofthis simple bier was most
touchi >g it was ornamented with entire
white draperies, and drawn by two beau-'
tiful snow-white horses. Twelve young
girls, veiled, and also dressed in white, at
tended as pal I bearers, and the remains
were followed by the relatives and friends
of the deceased. At the inoirent the pro
cession first advanced,the awfulsilence ere
ated by the sight upon the thousands, or
rather hundreds of thousands, who crowd
ed every dwelling from the roof to the
pavement, in the populous rue St. Antoine,
and the visible expression of sorrow in ev
ery countenance, was a sublime protest
on the pariofthe people against the base
and cowardly assassination which had hur
ried so many victims to a bloody and un
timely grave. The next hearses in suc
cession were those ofM. Labroste, receiv
er of taxes of the 7th. arrondissenment:
M.Brunot and M.lnglard,spinners of yarn’
and M. Ardouin, a workman. Next came
those of Messrs. Benester, Leger, and
Richard, grenadiers ofthe Bth legion of
the National Guards, and M. Prudhom
me, sergeant of the same legton. The
pall bearers were their comrades ofthe Bth
legion.
The pall bearers of. Captain Villate
were offi ers of t ie'anny; those of Colon-’
elßafte, olfi ers of the Municipal Guards,
and the departmental Gendarmerie; those
of RieuMre. of Sth I*egion, were four <>f-
ficer: of theNaiional Guard.-; those of Ma
jor General Delachas-e de Verigny, four
superior officers of the army; a.id
those of Marshal Mortier, were Mar
shals Grouchy, Gtrard, and Molitor, and
Admiral Duperre. AlLthe hearsts of
the military men were surmounted by
tricolored flags and military emblems,and
became gradually more handsome accord'
ing to their rank. The horses of the last
five,each led by two grooms,followed their
respective masters, and that of Marshal
Mortier with crape powdered with silver
stars, and edged with silver fringe. The
pall on each coffin bore an escutcheon
uith the initial of the deceased; that of M.
de Verigny was surmounted by a coronet.
The hearse which conveyed the re
mains of Marshal Mortier, was of the
princely rank of the deceased, of a much
more magnificent descri; ti< n than that of
the others. It w ould, in truth, be difficult
to conceive a funeral car construction at
once so richly gorgeous in its effict and
yet so solemnly appropriate to its melan -
choly purpose. Four large allegorical
figures'in silver raised upon amassiveor
nament of the metal, the whole surmoun
ted by a silver casque with- rich sable
plumes,composed the crown of the car,
each cornvr <;f which was formed of a fe
male figure, emblematic, as were those of
the central Superior ornarnt nt, ol the Chris
tian v rtues. These figures, also in sil
ver, were likewise each surmounted by a
casque and large sable plumes. ‘ Setei al
tri-colored flags were placed at various
points of the vehicle. On the pall
which covered the coffin, and on which
the ducal arms and coronet of the deceas
ed were embroidered, lay his ermined
robe with other insignia of his rank, a
tnong which the well formed sword ofthe
galhlnt veteran was the most touchingly
conspicuous. The car was followed by
the members of his afflicted family and a
concourse of private friends.
After the public, bodies followedthe Pol
ytechnic School, and deputations from the
decores of July, workmen and laborers.
The porters of the wharf of La Rupee
bore a large willow branch covered with
crape and surmounted by wreaths of ever
lastings, and a flag with the inscription
Vive la Charte! Vive la Liberie! Porte
de la Rupee! On another—Les Ouvriers
des Ports. As the hearses passed the fa
tal spot where the assassinations was per
petrated, the emotions of the mourners
were most painfully apparent.
The King, with the Dukes of Orleans
and Nemours, and the Prince de Joinville
1 ft the Tuilleries on horseback precisely
at 11 o’clock, and crowds awaited his Ma
jesty’s leaving the palace, and lined the
bridge quay, and every part of the town
through which he was to pass with his fa
mily on their way to the invalids.
About half past 11 o’clock, the Queen
and Princesses reached the church of the
Invalids; and in a few minutes his majes
ty also arrived,accompaned by the Dukes
of Orleans and Nemours, and the Prince
de Joinville, and escorted by his staff.
'l’he King entered bv the gate on the
Place Vauban. which he reached by
means of a bridge thrown across the Fos
se. On entering under the dome, the
King made a tur.i to the right and passed
before the peers, by whom he was receiv
ed with reiterated acclamations of rive le
roi! which were re-echoed by the depu
ties seated on the left. His majesty then
passed before the Crops Diplomatique, by
the members of which he.was repectfuily
and cordially saluted as he proceeded to
wards the throne.
The estrade, which had been disposed
under the dome for the reception of the
bodies, was decorated with the most taste
ful magnificence and brilliantly illumina
ted.* Each side of t he avenue leading from
the gate tothe front of the edifice wasorna
rnented with a succession of obelisks hung
with black,and connected together with cy
press garlands and tri-colored flags. All
the windows were hung with black to the
top, and received no light whatever from
the outside. Each.arcade was lighted by
a lustre. The pillars and pillasters near
the principal altarvvcre covered over with
black crape velvet, and between the prin
cipal altar and the dome to the left, a sort
of low estrade had been arranged with
seats, cushions,and black velvet prie. dieus
trimmed with silver, for the accommoda
tion ofthe King and Royal family.
Under the dome had been arranged an
immense estrade, with 14 cenotaphs, all
disposed at the same point of elevation,,
aud surmounted by a rich canopy of col
ossal proportions. The architectural or
naments of the dome were veiled by sable
draperies, which extended to the heigh!
of the galleries, and completely excluded
all external light. Al the base of thevas
catafalque to which we have just referred,
were several enormous candelabra, while
the upper part of it was covered with in
mumerable waxtapers,the whole being il
luminated from above by 4 large sepul
chral lamps, and a quantity of lustres and
chandelieers.
The nameef each of the victims of the
victimsofthe attrocious attempt ofthe2Bth
was inscribed in letters of silver on each
ofthe sides of the catafalque,around which
was stationed a detachment ofthe Bth Le
gion of National Guards and some troops
of the line.
At half past 1 o’clock the arrival of the
funeral was reported to his majesty. The
biers were placed on the estrade. This
part ofthe ceremony, in which the entire
of the fourteen murdered victims were
brought, produced an impression ofthe
most awful nuture. At half past 2 o’clock
the Archbishop of Paris, and a numbej
of the clergy, ascended the altar, and
chanted the magnificentservice of the. dead
by cherubini.
The funeral oration, which produced
a deep impression, was delivered by the
Abbe Landrieu. The reverend orator
dwelt on the noble and brilliant actions
which-marked the gallant and ill-fated'
marshal Mortier, and concluded by pay
ing an eloquent and feeling tribute of
respt Ct to the memory of his fellow vic
tims.
SPAIN.
There was an alarming riot at Barce
lona on the 25th of July. Six convents
were burnt and the monks and friars
butchered. The rioters are represented
to have been royalists, and their anger
was effected against all suspected of being
Carlists. Similar excesses had taken
place at Tarragona and Reuss.
The two armies were in sight of each o
ther on the first of August.
PORTUGAL.
An official degree was promulgated on
the 24th ofJuly, rescindin the commercial
treaty,of 1810,between Great Britian and
Portugal, from the 31st of January next
This done by virtue of a provision made
in the treaty, authorizing either party to
annul the treaty, giving six months notice
This will scarcely find favor'in England,
'i’he public sales of-national property had
commenced, and gone off with spirit. The
Queen is said to be losing her popularity,
owing to the general belief that she is too
much governed by an old marchioness, a
bigoted aristocrat Coolness is said to ex
ist between the Duch’.ss of Braganza and
the Queen her daughter.
LATEST FROM FRANNCE.
NEW-YORK, SEPT. 16.
The ship Lorena, Capt. Urquhart, arri
ved this morning from Havre, whence
she sillied on the 9th of August. Not
having received any papers by this vessel,
"weare indebted to the editors of the Gazette
for a lone of a Paris paper of the Bth, from
which we make a hasty translation.
The various committees on the new
lans proposed by the ministry, were ap
pointed on the 7th. M Thiers himself
is said to ha ve appeared somewhat alarm
ed at the strength of the measures. Not
a solitary member of the opposition was
appointed on either of the committees.
Various rumours were in circulation
respecting the assassin, the most decided of
which was that he had made statements
implicating the Duchess de Berri.
Two of his accomplices are said to have
been discovered.
The cholera was on the decrease.
/Public feeling was much excited in re
lation in the proposed laws—the general
feelingbeing strong against them.
Two American ships from New-Or
leans, with two thousand five hundred
bales of cotton, arrived off Havre on the
Bth August, and were ordered to Liver
pool by the consignees.
The Ihte Gale.— The ship Hilah,which
vessel we noticed on Saturday last as a-
Shore in the marsh on the previous eve
ning, floated off on the fall ofthe tide, and
has since reached the wharf without hav
ing experienced any damage. Wehave not
heard any thing satisfactory in regard to
the damage sustained by the crops in the
vicinity, but have every reason to believe
it will not be as great as was expected.
By reference to the ship news, it will be
seen that on Wednesday last Mr. E. Sis
son, of this city was unfortunately washed
from on board the schooner Excel and
lost — Georgian.
From the Newnan Palladium.
In a preceding column, our readers
will find copied from the Augusta Couri
er, several certificates touching Judge
Schley's conduct last war. In addition
to the before mentioned certificates, we Lave
the pleasure of adding that of Mr. Powell,
one ofthe most respectable gentlemen in
this county. He has an extensive ac
quaintance throughout the State, and his
verification will carry weight wherever it
is read.
Mr. Powell's Certificate.
I, John Powell, of Coweta county, do
certify that, during the last war, I was an
inhabiiant of Jefferson county—was not
only personally, but intimately acquaint
ed with Judge Wm. Schley—that we then
differed in politics, but yet I never heard
an insinuation thrown outthatJudgeSchley
was opposed to the war after it was declar
ed, or refused to join in rejoicing for our
army- and naval victories—but on the con
trary, went heart and hand in giving all
the assistance in his power to carry it on
to as honorable termination.

olutions adopted at our Anti-Abolition

“You will see that friends ofthe Ad

The extract of Col. Gamble’s letter to Judge
Schlep, which we recently published, was co
pied from the Standard of Union, though we
had the original letter before us. We forgot to
say, that the Standard of Union professed to.
give the extract according to copy precisely,
which he did, as far as we examined it. As
the Sentinel had called for the whole letter, it
was given to us.for the purpose of giving it to
the public ; but as it was rather a history of the
exploits of Col. Gamble, we thought it due to
his political friends to allow them the benefit of
the publication. Besides, as we had no author
ity to correct for the Press, we were loth to en
counter public criticism by giving the letter as
it waswritten, punctuate,!, capitalized and all.
Errors enough occur in our publications of an
unavoidable nature —we did not wish to be wil
fully incorrect by following our copy too sla
vishly. The Colonel may have a system of
Penmanship of his own, like the late Thomas
Grimke, who would not suffer his punctuation
altered by the Charleston Courier. When
Congressmen set us the example, we ought to
be careful of deviation.On this account,we have
hesitated some time about the propriety of al
tering the spelling of Courier to Currier, as it
has been sometimes so franked to us ; but as the
Sentinel sticks to the apostrophe, we hope we
shall be pardoned for similar obstinacy, as we
may probably have better reason on out side.
We have never known so little excitement
in Richmond county about an election. What
is the meaning of it? Whence does it result?
Does it flow from the >ame cause, as that which
has driven the term nullifer from the pub
lic vocabulary ? Is it a ruse de politique ? We
have very little doubt our opponents, by lulling
us with the syren song of peace, intend to steal
a march on us. There is much suppressed
feeling among them—a subdued energy of ex
pression, which deals in low tones but emphatic
phrases. Let our friends look to the matter.
Besides despair of success, to keep us quiet and
unexcited is the secret but principal cause, tnat
Gen. Walker has no opponent for the Senate,
while every man of the party is privately stim
ulated to do his best—-.to be active—go to the
polls and carry every one within his influence.
—Let our friends look to their cause and stand
by their principles with half the zeal of our op
ponents and we shall repeat after the election,
“ Victory has again perched on our banner.”
“ We have again met the enemy and they are
ours.” We shall be certain to have the mis
siles ready that are to do their business—Don’t
be alarmed, gentlemen; they are only paper
bullets, and will be lodged in the ballot box, not
in your bodies. Our friends will not fail to
load their guns and charge to the muzzle.
Monday week is the election. Our friends
should be attending to the matter, Let us not
be unprepared. Rally our forces and be ready
for the field. We have wily antagonists—ex
perienced tacticians, and who have grown
wiser by frequent defeits. We forget what
warrior of old it was, who said he had taught
his enemies to beat him by repeated victories
over them. Let us not be worthy of the same
fate by carelessness and inactivity. Our laur
els must not droop—nor our standard drag the
earth,where they have flourished so greenly,and
waved the proudest in the field.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE GEORGIA COURIER.
My Dear Sir. — I have just picked up a file of
the State Rights Sentinel, of the .Bth Inst, in
which I discover a letter purporting to be from
a Minister of the Gospel, dated Mount Pleasant,
17th August 1835 under the initials of J. H. T.
K. addressed to his brother of the Sentinel, in
answer to one from said Editor requesting the
Reverend Gentleman’s “ideas relative to the
two political parties in this State.
It appears in the fiest place, that it is with
much reluctance that this Minister of the Ever
lasting Gospel has been induced to come for
ward and give his humble opinion in matters of
such vast importance, and magnitude, to our
whole Country. We certainly owe him much
gratitude for the noble and disinterested man.
ner in which he has suffered his weighty opinion
to be submitted to the public. Listen how wise
ly be reasons; “ I am a Citizen and hold myself
a real patriot, a true lover of my Country, and
when our dearest Rights and interests, are held
in doubtfull suspence, I am not certain that si
lence is any longer a virtue.” (Good.) You
will here perceive that this pious Minister, this
most disinterested divine, this most meek and
lowly follower of the blessed Saviour, has con
sidered it to be his bounden duty to be the true
political “ exponent” of the principles held by
the two political parties.—lt is indeed extreme
condescension for one so high, one who occupies
such an exalted position in the estimation of the |
immaculate Editor'of the S. R. S. should deign
for a moment to calculate the value of the Un
ion. This wiseacre ofthe sacred desk, this holy
apostle of State Rights, as he would wish him
self to be considered, has actually condescended
to come down from his lofty station, and inform
us poor, unintelligent Union Men, that we are
in the wrong. He tells us that “the Union par
ty appears to think that the better and safer plan
is not to interrupt the Federal Government;
but suffer it peaceably to parsue its course; and
that the different States throw themselves,
with all their interests, into the bosom of the
Federal Government for safety and protection,'*
Where,my fellow Citizens, did this most right*
eous Judge become possessed of this important
information! he must be gifted with an equally
prolific immagination with his friend, aud per
haps dear Brother, Bob Short, to have come to
this sage conclusion. — The Union party never
have for a moment acceded to such princilpes.
No! they would not “exhibit to the world the
phenomenon of the creature governing and pro
tecting the creator; and would te the last to al
low the General Government to assume one
single iota of undelegated state Sovereignty; if
is their life, their health, their very existence;
and in October next will exhibit it self to the
world in all its moral grandiue, in the election
of Union Men to Congress and the State Legis
lature.
We are Union Men and glory in the name.
We will support Union Men, and such alone,
who are jealous of the Rights and Sovereignty
of the States.—Again he says, “ I am persuaded
it is names under which the two parties exist,
that has in a great degree gulled the people.
We all desire Union and devotedly pray for-it*
perpetuity. « . ' . • ■ '
Why then, I ask, will not the Rights ofthe
states be as well preserved, the property of Un*
ion as lasting, in ihe keeping of Union Men, as
in that of the Nullifiersl Hear "hini again?
“ Look about, and you will see al once what I
say about the name, to be true.— Clark Men now
bear the sway—fill all the offices, apd hold,near
ly every appointment within the gift of the
people ” Why should it not be sol Are they
not equally honest, patriotic and sincere? I an
swer the question in the affirmative—they are.
But sir, I cannot conecide the point that the Un
ion party consist only of Clark Ven.—No! for
from it, we have indeed many Troup Men a
inong us, whose honesty, integrity and patriot
ism, dare not be doubted. “ Look at our. Co
ngress men now and what they were once ! The
talents of all whom we now send, put together,
would Scarcely measure up any one of those
who are now left at home.” Well, look at the
whole of them, examine them minutely, and
what can you find exceptionable, only that they
love their country, and would rather ibeshould
prosper and be happy, than that war, anarchy,
bloodshed and revolution should occur, — which
would be the necessary consequence, if the ill*
judged measures of these pretended lovers of
their country should be sustained. “ Look at
the man who is now nominated tor Governor,
by the Union party ; is he not a staunch dark
er ? Yea, worse, is he not an old-side Federal
ist? Will not these facts prove that the people
have indeed been gulled by a name ?”—Gulled
by a name ! Yes, indeed, they have strove to
gull us by a name, and that name “State
a name which they wish to be peculiar to them
selves alone, for the sake of gulling the people.
Yes, the Rev. Gentleman says, our nominee is
a “ darker,” (and of course not a Trouper.)—
Admitted ; both names have long since become
obsolete; and all good men, of both parties,
have united together in the support of our glo
rious Union. As for his charge against our
candidate of being an “ old side Federalist,”
we throw it back in their teeth. All we wish to
know is that he is now, as he always has been,
a true friend of his country, notwithstanding
the foul slanders which have been circulated
against his character, by a set of ignorant and
self-interested politicians, together with the vile
vituperations of a few hypocritical clergymen,
who, to accomplish their ends, would gladly
see this fair fabric of our Union dissolved into
ruins. This man of the sacred desk goes on to
say —“ But last, and worse than all, every man
in all the South voting for Van Buren for Pre
sident, and holding to the doctrine that the
sovereignty belongs to Congress, is acting and
voting against the best and dearest interests of
the South.” The Union party of Georgia, in
the coming contest, in our state elections, have
nothing to do with the Presidential question;
nor do they hold the doctrine, that sovereignty
belongs to congress;—ror yet do they believe
that the coming State elections have any thing
directly to do with Van Buren or the Abolition
ists, —unless the State Legislature should think
proper to pass some laws and resolutions more
effectually to suppress the incendiary operations
of the latter ; but this the Union men do believe,
that it is essentially necessary to the preserva
tion of this Union, and the well-being of the
whole community, that the principles which
they hold should be sustained. To this intent
we recommend all lovers ol freedom and true
friends of their country, to lay aside all preju
dices and prepossessions, and sacrifice all pri
vate partialities, for their common country's
goodfor, as the Judge’s correspondent says,
in the language of the Father ol his Country,
" United we stand, divided we fall.” To this
sentiment, of course, we all most heartily re
spond. Then, go forward on Monday, the sth
day of October next, and vote the whole Union
ticket, and all may yet be well.
A UNION MAN.

Extract nf a letter from Liverpool dated, Aug. 7.
“Since our last circular, on the 24th June,oor
Cotton market has offered little worthy of notice
the supplies which then came m freely, were
soon stopped by contrary winds, and the trade
showed little disposition to relieve our dullness
by a more extensive demand. They have since
then continued to purchase sparingly, probably
with the expectation of succeeding in reducing
our prices, but they have been met with great
firmness by the exporters. It was only in the
ordinary and middling descriptions of Ameri
can Cotton, that a redaction to any extent was
