were only sixteen monikers in their seal*, and

to the credit of this legislature that they hevo

to tho test of a striot examination. Examination'

Mr. Burke in nun -of hia cehibrated,speeches
remarked that “ the French KtWfeltoxtiU trereiAs

THE NEXT CABINET.
Speculation is rife ou this ssfbjoeL We think
It supreme folly to anticipate Jhe action efGeu.
df Aiuti sox in this matter and «o make a thousand
end one suppositions, nearly all of «4ich will
Joubtless prove to be inoorrect. Some Ed
itors seem determined that both Mr. Webster
suid Mr. Clat shall he in the Cabinet. For our
awn part, we do not believe that either of those
gentlemen would consent to become a Cabinet
Minister. It would add nothing to the laurels
they have already acquired in the service of their
country—end although we can see no impropri
ety whatever ia their occupying a position for
which they are eminently fitted, still we should
Jeel no slight regret ou seeing them leave the
American Senate—that Arena where their taL
cuts and patriotism have shone so conspicuously.
RALLY AT THE THEATRE.
On Friday evening last, the Tippecanoe Clubs
of Savannah made a grand rally at tbe Theatre,
for the purpose of manifesting their congratula
tions on (lie election of the Hon. John Macpher-
son Berrien to the Senate of the United States.
The occasion was graced by the presence of a
Sam Slice's Journey.—.4* soon as we get
done Inaghing, we will endeavour to infosw the
public of Sarn’i whereabout*. We left him at m
public house on fire, tumbling heels over head
with bis bed-fellow, with each a leg in one pair
of pantaloon*. 8am will certainly be the death
of us.
We have also received Poor Jack, by the au
thor of Peter Simple, which we will endeavot to
notice as sotmas we have found lime to read it;

"Judge Bxaat/;N—This meeting of the members!
of the Tippecanoe Clnhi of Savannah, and of the
friends of Harrison, Tyler and Reform, has tut- w,,ul

sen to represent the Slate ofGeorgia in the high
est branch of our Nntionnl Legislature, and that
your high talents, vnature experience and well
tried patriotism, ore duly appreciated by the peo
ple of this State. To you, sir, more than to nuy
other individual within her bounds, do we believe
that she is indebted for her emancipation from the
sbncklet'of a party which has long domineered
over her, imd trampled on her best interests.
When allwae darkness around us. n«.d not a ray
of light appeared to penetrate the gloom; when
not one single editor in the State had ventured to
unfurl Urn Harrison banner to tha breeze, you
commenced the then apparently almortltopelea*
work of reform, hy opening a correspondence in
his favor, with many «f foe leaders of foe State
Rights’ Party, and thus set the hall of Reform in
motion, which has roled on over every moun

Yoirr political •opponents seem to have been

ed to, at once, by all the Dunks that had met this
morning to take foe matter into consideration.
Nearly Urn whole win taken, and the balance

A committee from Philadelphia and Boston
were here to negotiate the loan, which is for nine

millions had previously been taken by thn Cnpl-
talists of Boston, end this million is in addition.
It Urepresented that thi* sum wilt he abundant &

publication is on our table again. We trust the
cause of its late discontinuance has been so far
remedied, that we shall not miss its regular visit
hereafter.
Vi as in ia.—We have at last the official vote of
this Suite. Van Buren’s majority is 1413. The
House ofDdegates of V«. by a vote <of 07 to 61,
agreed tego into the election of a U. S. Senator
on to Jay, hat it was lost in the Senate bt^a tie,
the Senate being composed of an equal number
of Harrison and Vab Buren men. The Charles
ton Coerier says there can be no doubt font foe
tie was caused by the negative votes of those op
posed to Tip and Ty.
Public Execution.—Francis Lawrence was

for tbe trerder of a roan by foe name of Ford.

and die Hon. William tt. Clowxxt, was elec

Census or South Carolina.—Tbe total pop
ulation in this State, by tbe Census just taken,
(says the Courier,) is 594,439, showing about our
natural increase of tan per cent in the last ten
years. In the statistical report of the Marshal it
appears that 30,000 lbs of sugar were produced
ia St. John’s, Colleton, during the year 1839—
40.
The Post Office Department.—The National In
telligencer, 'of the 28th ult„ announces the some

ciency in foe revenue of foe Post Office, "the
present Post Master Gen?ral, Mr. Niles,

COMMUNICATED.
The Tippecanoe Clubs of Savannah, after a
long interval of quietude from foe excitement of
our recent political conflict, held a meeting at
Log Cabin No. 3, on foe evening of9fo inst.
Mr. HAarKR, President of Club No. 1, was call-
ad to foe chair. The &i«ieiihg was truly one of
mutual congratulation, not characterised by bois
terous mirth, or loud and vulgar ebulition of
feeling. .
The ebject was simply to offer to our Senator
elect, the heartfelt congratulations of our party,
knowing, as we do, that his matured intellect and
unwearied exertions were principally instrumen
tal in exposing foe misrule and corruption of foe
administration, and in placing foe truth honestly
before the people of Georgia. Under Ute influ
ence of these feelings, the following resolution
was received with the most marked eufousiosmi
, Resolved, That a committee of four be ap
pointed to wait on Judge Berrien, at his house,
audio invite him to-meet foe Tippecanoe Clubs
of this city, at the Theatre, ou Friday evening
next, fur foe purpose of giving foein an oppor
tunity of congratulating him ou his election to
Ute Senate of foe United States.
The following gentlemen were appointed foe
Coinmitteo: G. B. Camming, Esq. chairman, J.
P. Stuart, Win. Olutslead, H. K. Preston.
After the applause which attended foe intro
duction of thia resolution had subsided. The fol
lowing was offered a ud unanimously concurred
in:
Resolved, That ■— — ho appointed delegates
to represout the County of Chatham, in tha Har
rison Convention, to be held at Milledgeville on
the 17lh inst., Ibr the purpose of nominating
Guvi-riior for the Stile of Georgia.
Resolved, That foe blank he filled with five de
legates, and that they be nominated by foe chair
man.
This wm a sin in tkrir eye*, not to be forgiven:
Irence their vimlentwpposition to your election:
Iteuco it was that they used every artifice to post
pone the election of a Senator, trevil foe next
session ofthe Legislature—thus endeavouring to
deprive the Slate of her due and legitimate weight
in the Senate ofthe United State* rather than
that you should be elected. You who hy your
untiring and well directed exertion*, lied kindled
a *pirit in foe people of this State, which has
prostrated their party in the dust, and which lupi
wrested from their nnworfoy hands, the power
which they have so much abused. How they
have used their power, let the Central Bunk, and
foe present conditio* ofthe finaucea ofthe State,
hesr testimony,
We rejoice, sir, in your election to the Senate
ofthe U. States, because it is one of foe impor
tant results of foe glorious victory achieved by
foe Whig* of Jus State. We hail it with pleas
ure as an indication of the virtue and tntclfigeoce
ofthe only true democracy of number*.
Again, sir, in foe name of foe Tippecanoe
Clubs, I tender you their sincere congratula
tion*."
After which foe Judge arose, evidently under
foe influence of mingled emotions arising front
the raspulsesof a mind highly cultivated and nat
urally sensitive. Notwithstanding foiseutbarass-
ment, he soon convinced bis hearers that he was
in his happiest vein, and with his nsnal felicity
of thought end perspicuity of expression, en
chained foe attention (for an hour) of foe largest
assembly that we have ever seen collected in the
good old city of Oglethorpe.
He dwelt with much etqphasis on a principle
which is universally recognised by Ute Whig par
ty, viz: that we now desire foe absence of politi
cal strife, we ere for peace, let us remember we
are all Americans and have a common interest in
foe welfare of onr whole country nnd in foe pros
perity of ell our institutions, let us all unite in a
strenuous effort to put aside forever tins petty ar
tifice* qf electioneering and resolve to canvas*
foe measures of foe next administration fairly at J
honestly. He admonished us, however, never
to fbrgel our Tippecanoe Clubs, and to be pre
pared tor reorganization, should circumstances
render it expedient.
Judge Law was next called on. He address
ed foe meeting in his usual happy and persuasive
manner. He reminded us uf foe long political
campaign that had just terminated, and dwelt
emphatically ou foe foct that such an overwhelm
ing majority for our candidate must have been
produced by foe spotless purity ofhia character,
which the intelligence nnd virtue of the Ameri
can people wonid never fail to recognise. The
Judge hoviug concluded,
G. B. Cummino, was next called upon. Ho
promptly answered the call, and it was soon man
ifest that we had yet renewed sources of intellec
tual gratification for our Whig J ubilees. II e ad
dressed foe meeting with certainly not less inter
e*t than his predecessors and in hi* own pecu
liar style, combining intelligence with mirth. If
I could say any thing varying front my high esti-
tnation of these spechees, it would be that this
gentleman was eminently calculated to close onr
Whig Juhilee. Mr. Cummino having concluded,
the meeting adjourned.

Many members, no doubt, were induced to vote
for his pardon by the importunities of his mother,
who has been present in foe lobby nnd gallery nil

duct have said to her son in the beautiful lan
guage of the poet—

'Destructive.Fire.—It is with great regret wa
iiuiinuncu the destruction hy fire on Saturday
morning inst, of the greater part of the -building*
of ilte -Fcdericksburg Union MniirifacttiriHg
Coinpuny.’situated Apposite to the Rail Road
Depot. The building* uccwpied three side* of *

Foundry, and the front buildings used, as a Finish-
ing shop, are entirely destroyed. Thn eastern
range, in which were the Ulnckstnifo shop—the
ware room and ofiica, is uninjured. There was
insurance upon the buildings,in the M. A. Society,
to the amount of $9,600, nett, and upon tho ma
chinery Mild pntjerus, iu the /Etna ofiicH. of Hart
ford, Connecticut, to thn sum of $10,000. The
loss of the company, however, will he very heavy
notwitlistanding. There was infoe finishing shop, 1
nearly for delivery, car wheels nnd other work
for Rail Roads, to the vidua of $5,000. A Loco-.
motive Engine, of excellent workmanship, and n
new high pressure Slenttt Engine, were also iu
the building. It is hoped the injury which they
have sustained will not prove very great.
The loss is u serious one lo our community,

several persons did not return all they made, but
with all Ute humbugs and scarecrows that were
mndA use of to induce them not to give any ac

The Austin City Gazette confirms foe ncconnt
given by Mr. Dwyer of the escape of Col. Jotdan
and itis brave followers, and of bis return to Lo-
redo. He succeeded in penetrating full 300 miles
into tlin interior of Mexico, and would doubtless
have fully accomplished the cud in view, had it
not been for the bn*e treachery of Co). Lopez
nnd a par$ of bis pretended Mexican allies, who
deserted them in tite hour of dunger, and en

DECEMBER 7.
Jmportant)to Commerce.—By the Bchr. Robert
Mills, arrived last evening from Matumoras. we
have been informed that the Mexican govern
ment ha* permitted the introduction of tite arti
cles which were lately prohibited.
Thescbr. Emblem muled front Matamorn* for

Important Arrest—For some time past, the
log* of slaves iu this city Iiub been increasing in
frequency, and many vuluable one* have been
conveyed itway by some unknown agency. Zell
nnd Ridgely, most active and vigilant ofliccrtf, be*
coining cognizant of this, determined to ascer
tain the mode of escape, nnd terminate tho evil.
They sugpectud it was effected through a system
of abduction, carried nn by tite agency of free
blacks, and they kept a sharp look out at the rail
rood depots. On the morning of Sunday, 2Ullt
of Nov., Mr. Zell was ut the depot in Fruit
street, when u free negro mimed John Robinson,
procured u ticket for Philadelphia. Mr. Z. dis
covered something suspicion* in the fellow's
manner, and resolved to iteep an eye oil bint.
Ho got into tho car appropriated to tho accom
modation of negroes, just wlnm it was about to
start, nnd Zell took a place in front with the
brakesman. When near the fool of Gayst., lie
saw a black whom he knew lo be a slave, nnd
Robin«oii hastily nstisted him into tite car. lie
continued on the car till breached Canton, when
he arrested tite slato, who belonged to a Mrs.
Hanna, but Robinson was not to bu found, and
the curs went off without him. Me, however,
kept a sharp look out for him, nnd ou Friday Inst
succeeded ill arresting him. The prisoner was
taken before Justice Miltenbergor, where lie wu*
identified us the person who purchased tlio ticket
u* niqritioned above by Mr. Rochester, lliougunt
who sold it to him.
The free papers found on him ware also the
twmn produced »\ the raft road office; and Mr. U.
further recognized him as quo who within it short
period purchased, ntdifibrent times,several ticket*
at the office. The examination resulted iu liiscam-
initial to take his triul nt the Fobruury term of tho
City Court. By dtia arrest,good sc/vice has hueii

Manddyi the excitement had subsided, ind fur sever-
