Saturday Morning;, November 19, 1850. Largest Circulation in the City!! BY TELEGRAPH. Transmitted Expressly for the Daily Morning News Arrival of tlic Cambria.—Decline In Cotton. Nkw-Yobk, Nov. 15, 3 P. M. 1 Received in Savannah, 3.15 P. M. J The Royal mail steamer arrived to-day with Liv- erpool dates to the 2d instant, being three days later than the advices bioughtby the Atlantic. The Liverpool Cotton Market hod experienced a decline of an eighth (Jd.) The quotations given are for Fair Upland and Mobile 6even seven-eights (7jd.,) and for Fair Orleans eight and one-eighth (8}d.) The sales of the week amounted to 40,000 bales. ghall the Fugitive Bill be Bepenlod, Resist ed, or Modifletl ? It is a well known fact to all who read the Northern papers of all parties, and watch the proceedings ol the conventions and public meetings in the tree States, that the almost unanimous voico of the North- ern people is in favor of the repeal of the Fugitive Bill, or of such a modification of its provisions as will render it inoperative for tho purpose for which it is framed. Not that it is not sufficiently inoperative now by force of public opinion there; but they desire that it may bo inoperative without tho necessity for its nullification, for which those faithful, order-loving, law-abiding communities have such mortal aversion. • The so called Union Party will not deny that this is the tendencj ot public opinion at the North. They know that the question there is not whether tho law shall be sustained or repealed, but whether it shall bo repealed or modified. No one can doubt that the lat ter Issue will be made—nor can any one doubt that the bill will—if Northern votes can accomplish it— either be stricken from tho statute book or so altered and changed in its character as to render it utterly Inefficient for the purposes for which it wus enacted. Now, in as much as the Union party in their plat form, have made “ aggressive legislation upon out;, rights ” in the “ repenl of the Fugitive Slave Law” on ultimatum, which they will “ resist ” even to the “ (/is olation of the Union," it becomes a matter of inter est at this timi to know what distinction they are disposed to make between "repeal” and modification of the Bill—between destroying its validity and eras ing it from the statute books. We linve no objection to any necessary nn'1 proper amendments of the bill that has not for its object the defeat ol the purpose for which it was framed ; bu we know that alterations—not amendments—arc contemplated which’, to ot* mind, nre quite, if not more objectionable than would be the repeal of the bill itself. Ambug these arc the tallowing, which wo find mooted in the Northern papers, with a unanim ity which indicates the settled determination of all parties to socuro their adoption : i «t. To apply the statute of limitations so as to de stroy, to a great extent, the retrospective operation of the taw. 2d. To give to Fugitives trial by jury in the plnce where the arrest is made/ 3d. To require the General Government to indem nify slave owners out of the public treasury for all slaves identified, but which from any cause nre not recovered. Now, these amendments we conceive would be “ aggressive legislation upon our rights,” and should be resist 'd ns promptly and ns determinedly as the repeal of the law itself. Will the endorsers of the so called Union platform 60 regard them 1 ‘If ,there is any propriety in laying down the repeal of the Fugitive Bill as a ground of resistance, the same reason exists for declaring against obnoxious amendments known to be canitemplated.. If the con vention are toconsiderthe probabilities of the first, they ehould also consider the still greater probabili ties of the. latter—mid if its action is to ha re refer, "nee to the one, it Ehould also have reference to the other. It is due to the voters of Chatham County that they should kuow whether their delegates, on either of the tickets nomisated, will counsel submission to such amendments, cr any other amendment sp utter ly violative of the spirit of the law, and “ aggres sive upo» the rights of tho South.” Will they en lighten the people or this head V SECOND DESPATCH. Havre Cotton Market. New-York, Nov. 15, 8} P. AI. The accounts brought by tho Cambria represent t he Havre Cotton market as calm. Very ordinary Orleans is quoted at one hundred and eighteen francs fifty centimes (118f. 50c.) New-York Cotton Market.—We have a droop ing market to-day. New-Yoek Election.—Hunt's official majority is 270 votes. The political nows by the Cambria is unimportant. Commercial Circular. A report of the market, in Letter Sheet form, may bo had at our office this morning, at 10 o'clock. 53P* Advertisements crowded out will appear on Monday. tZF The Proceedings of the Southern Rights Meeting in Cherokee Hill District were received too late for insertion this morning. Hon. Jno. Macphebson Bebbien arrived in this city last night by Railroad. By a notice in our paper this morning, it will be seen that he is to ad dress his fellow-citizens of Chatham County in this city on Tuesday evening next. Due notice will be given of tho place of the meeting. Arrival or Steamers—The steam-ship Gco r gia, from New-York, for Chagres, touched oft' our bar on Thursday afternoon, at 6} o’clock, and re ceived our mails. The Georgia brought twenty passengers for this c ty. The steam-ship Isabel, Captain Rollins, from Charleston, for Havana, arrived at Tybco at 12} o’clock yesterday, and received our mails from the steamer Gen. Clinch, Capt. Dixon. Eleoant Visiting Cabos We are indebted to Mr. T. O’Donnell, for a pack of beautifully execu ted visiting cards. Air. O’ D. is an accomplished pen man, and is very successful in imparting a knowl edge of his art to his pupils, who in the course of a few lessons with an ordinary amount of applications arc enabled to attain great proficiency in the use of that "potent instrument,” the pen. Penmanship.—if ihere is not an improvement inthechirography of our people shortly, it will not bo for the want of opportunity to make themselves masters of the art/ From Alessrs. Jenbee & Mil- lab, we have the pleasure of acknowledging a pack ot eleg-.ntly executed visiting cards, in various styles of Penmanship. These gentlemen have been very snccessful in teaching in this city, having produced some wonderful improvements in “ shocking bad bnnds.” Messrs. J.

When the K left, the schr was leaking badly, and it was presumed she went down 12 hours afterwards. BP Tho statue pf C*Ljiouy arrived in Charles ton on Tuesday, by the Southerner, and in charge of John W. Johnson, Esq:, who recovered it, Captaip Johnson, niid ins friends with the Statue, were ten dered pircc passage by the owners ol the Southerner, i and on his arrival in Charleston was declared by Council flic guest of city. The Statue has been removed from the Southerner apd placed in the City Hall, whereafter the necessary arrangements have been made, it will be exhibited to pubjic view. As we anticipated the agents did not allow this statue to be placed cn exhibition in New York. Another I Baltimore Murder. A row occurred la the drinking saloon of the Front street Theatre 1n BAltlmore on Monday night last, in which a young msn by the name of Aloody, was shot dead and another severely wounded. Several pistols were fired. Moody who was th e aggressor had been released from prison only a few days previous, where he had been confined on the charge of having partici pated in the murder of Mitchell, a few weeks since. This is the third murder in Baltimore within as many weeks. The press of that city is calling for stringent measures for the suppression of these disgraceful out rages. Choleba ik the West Indies.—The Cherokee, arrived at.NeV-York on Friday,brings distressing ac counts of the lavages of the cholera at Kingston, Ja maica, Twenty-five and thirty deaths a day were reported in Kingston. The epidemic was also unu sually fatal at fort Royal and St. Catherines. A pas senger in the Cherokee informs the editor ofthe N. Y. Post that it the burial ground of Spanishtown, the seat of Govertment of tho island, twenty-five bodies were left, during a single day upon the surface of the ground, it being impossible to induce any one to bury them. The Governor finally ottered their freedom to the convicts of tho penitentiary, if they would dis charge this dangerous oflice for the deceased. Some of them accep-ed the offler, but the most of those who did so ditd shortly after of the epidcmic- Several pbyiicians had died and the sick were suf feringfor want of medical attendance. It was hoped that New-York Would send out physiciuns by the re turn steamer., Thedtaeasohad been particularly destructive in the Lunatic Asylum in Kingston. Out of 140 patients, 27 died in one week. At the first appearance of the disease the petients lingered usually from twelve to fifteen hours, but the latter cases frequently proved fatal, in a quarter of an hour. Just before the steamer left intelligence was receiv ed at Kingston that the epidemic had broken out in the 27th regiment, stationed at New Castle, about eight miles from Kingston, in the mountains, and that fourteen cases had proved fatal. The camp is about 4,000 fret above the level of the sea, and was selected for its heajtbinesa and coolness—the tempe rature varying from 70 to 80 deg. of Fnhrenheit in the warmestseason It was supposed that the tirng of artillery might affect the utmosphere favorably, and all the vessels of war in the harbor of Kingston were kept firing all one day, but without any effect. It was proposed, the day the steamer left, to fumi gate Kingston, by kindling fires in each street. This was undoubtedly dune, with what effect we shall not learn till the arrival of the uext steamer. The disens» is spreading over the island. and car ries with it terror and distress. Advance in Cotton Goons.—The providencp Post, of Friday last says: “Sheetings, Shirtings, Jeon-, &e, nre held with the great firmness, at an improvement of} a }c. from the prices ot a lew weeks ago, and some descrip tions have been sold ot full }c. advance on the low est enles of the season. Printing Cloths are held firmly at an improvement of }u}c., but the trnnsac- tions have been light, buyers and sellers not hein" able to get together. We notice sales of Gl)xb8, ex- tea. at 5} ; 60x64 good, 4}; 56x60, 4}. At tho close, good 60x64’s are generally held at 5c., and 4} offered freely.” Lewis, Del., Nov. 10,9 P. Al.—Sumo pilots from Philadelphia landed this evening, and report having seen a large vessel ashore on Joe Flogger, with casks of wineand boxes of raisins tlontingnbout her. They saw no person on board, and think that all hands must have been lost. The vessel was breaking up. The gale on Thursday night, and the whole of Friday, was unusually severe, by which several ves sels at the Breakwater had bean severely damaged —nraoug them area brig with loss of foremast, sunk; brig Vincennes, from Boston, with loss of foremast; aclipoper Z Taylor, sunk, with top masts visible; Jen ny Lind, with loss of main boom, and Wave, with loss of jibboom and both masts, A chest with clothing, was washed ashore yester day above the Bcecop Light, and on examination Letter from the President. We received liy last night’s Western Mail an extra from the office of tho Georgia Citizen, containing the following communication from the acting Secretary of State to Mr. Collins, of Macon. The letter is pre faced by n paragraph ot editorial laudation of the President, for what tho editor of the Citiiin Calls “this noble and frank expression of opinion, in favor of the prompt and faithful execution of the laws and constitution entrusted to ilia keeping.” For our own part we can find nothing in the letter to justify the editor’s encomiums. On the contrary wo regard it, under the circumstances, as anything but satisfactory. It is a piece of special pleading, un. becoming tho Chief Magistrate of this Union, und so far from affording the South any assurance of an en forcement of the law in our behalf, by its tone is cal : oulated to aggravate rather than allay the just indig- tmtionof our people at the outrages and wrongs which are daily perpetrated against our rights. But we have no apace or time for comment, and we-sub- mit the document to the consideration of ourreuders Department of State, ) Washington, November 9th, 1850. ) Robert Collins, Macon, Ga. : Sir;—1 inn instructed by the President to inform you thatyour letter of the 2d inst., addressed to him, enclosing several slips from newspapers, in refer ence to the proceedings of a portion of the communi ty in Boston, on the subject of the Fugitive Slave Law, was received by him yesterday, and that he has given to the letter and its enclosures, a careful peru sal. You state, in substance, that you are the owner of Crafts one of the Fugitive Slaves ior which warrants of arrest were issued ill Boston, and call the Presi dent’s attention to the enclosed slips taken mostly from Northern papers, by which lie will perceive the manner in which your agi nts were received and treated for merely asking that the slaves be returned according to tne Lawsul tho United States. That they have been arrested under various warrants, as kidnappers, and on other frivolous pretences, and unreasonable bail demanded; nnd that your friends have become their sureties for more than lji20J)00. You also f ay, tllnt the manner in which the ollicers have performed their duty will appear by the slips; nnd that tho warrants now lie dead iu tho Aiarshul’s office. You then speak of the pernicious effect of such proceedings, and of their tendency to disturb the harmony of the Union, am of the great impor tance of having thelaw frith fully executed; uud,final ly, inquire “whether it is not in the power, and is not tUu intention of the Executive of the United States to cause that law to be faithfully find properly enforc ed 1" To this the President directs me to reply, that you cannot be more deeply impressed than he is, with tile importance of having every law faithfully executed. Every statute, in this country, praiedin nccordunce with the provisions of the comti.ution, must be pre sumed to embody the will of a majority of people of the Union; and ns such, isentitled to the respect and obedience ot every true American citizen; nnd the constitution which the President lies sworn to sup port has made it his especial duty "to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” He haa no thought of shrinking from his duty, in this or any other case; but Will, to the utmost of his ability, firmly aud faith fully perform it. But how is ho to cause the lnw to be executed? First, by appointing proper officers to till tbe va rious oiliccs nnd discharge their various functions with diligence nnd fidelity; and if any Bhnll be found incompetent or unfaithful, by removing them, where he has tho power of removal, — and appointing more competent and faithful officers in their places. And secondly, in extreme eases, "whenever the laws ot the United States shall be opposed, or the execu tion thereof ol structed, in any State, by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary cours of judicial proceedings,” or bj the power vested in the civil officers with the posse which the law authorizes and requires them to call to their aid, it would be his duty to call fourth the militia, nnd use the army and navy for the purpose of overcoming such forcible combinations against the laws. But, in either case, prudence and justice require that there should be more satisfactory evidence of official de linquency, or forcible resistance, than mere rumor, or newspaper statements ; aud yet these are all which have been-furnished in this case If any MnreUnl neglect to perform his duty, the law gives a right of action to the aggrieved party for the injury which he may sustain ; aud if he refuse to perform it. the statute has imposed upon him a se vere penalty. But if he refuse or wilfully neglect to perform it when this shall be satisfactorily made to appear to the President, then, in addition his lia bility to the aggrieved party, it would doubtless be the duty of the Executive to removehim from office, and appoint another in his place. But your letter contains on proof of the kind, and therefore seems to require on action. It is equally clear that no case is presented justifying H call upon the militia, or tho use of the army to execute the laws ; and tho Presi dent haa so much confidence to the patriotism nnd devotion to the laws which have always characterised a large majority of the people ot Boston, that lie cannot for a moment believe that it will ever be ne- cessray to call in nny extraordinary aid to execute the laws, in that community. Individuals may become excited, and mny in the heat of the moment, offer resistance to the laws, hut he has no -ioubtthat in such event, somuch to bo re gretted, that the good sense of tho community would soon rally tn the support of the civil authorities, and that those who sustain the law would trumpli: but he directs mo to nssure you, that if, unfortunately he shall find himself mistaken in this, nnd the painful necessity should arise, he is resolved to perform his duty by emplojfing all the means which the Con stitution and Congress have placed at his disposal, to enforce the law. As to the complaint that your agents were unjust ly prosccutad, and held to bail in unreasonable amounts, for pretended offences, the President di rects mo to say, that however he may regret any such injustice and incivility, he is not aware that l»e has tile power to remedy the evil. If tile complaints against your Agents be unfounded, the defendents will doubtless be acquitted, and if malicious, they have their remedy in nil action for a malarious pros ecution, But nil these are judical questions over which . the Executive can exercise no control, and the evil complained of, results from tho ncknovvl- e Igt'd right of every individual to prosecute any one for an alleged offence or violation of right. The President feels the importance of avoiding as far as practicable, all causes of irritation between the North and the South, and especially on the excit ing subject of Slavery. Were he permitted to ad vise, liewould suggest to all, the importance of'per mitting the Taws to take their usual course; and that every thing like intimidation and illegal or unjust an noyance, should be scrupulously avoided. Every ef fort should lie made to cultivate a fraternal feeling.— \Vn should bn a people of ono interests nndonesen- t ment, knowing no local division, and tolerating no sectional injustice. Our Union, so dear to the.heart of every true American, can only bn preserved by a strict observance of the Constitution, nnd fin impar tial administration of the laws I am. Sir, respectfully.
