Constantinople, August S.
Conspiracy in Tcreey.—A report has for
gome days circulated tn whispers through the
capital, and the uncertainty respecting it increases
the general anxiety. The report is. in substance,
that nn insurrection was discovered just on tho
eve of breaking out, and it was suppressed with
appalling severity. A certain Ser Kedile, of the
class of the Ulemas, well known by the part which
he acted some years ago ns the sultan’s favorite,
has been here for some time, though the intrigues
of the seraskier pacha succeeded at the same time
in getting him removed from tho capital, by his
appointment to the post of pacha of Trikala. In
the sequel, Ser Kedile was sent to till an impor
tant post at Adrianople, and some time ago sum
moned by the sultan to Constantinople. Chose-
rend Pacha, and his numerous parties in the army,
took this ns a signal for net/ intrigues, which,
ihongh at first aiming only nt the overthrow of
»Ser Kedile, are said to have taken n more crimi
nal shape, lloiv far the matter proceeded, and
flow it was discovered, no body knows; it seems,
however, that all the measures were ordered by the
sultan himself, and (hat lie likewise acted asjtulge.
So much only transpires, that a number of offi
cers ut high rank, among whom are generals and
colonels, and other persons in office, and Ulemas,
have suddenly disappeared, and, as il is said, with
in these lew days, their bodies have been taken
up nut of the sea, lied two and two together by

Lower Canada—The Crisis.—We are in
possession ol the Quebec papers of Saturday,
and Montreal of Monday. The House of As
sembly, after an extended and exciting debate,
has adopted an answer to the King's reply to the
address of last session, which bring9 tho difficul
ties between the popular and conservative branch
es of the Government to a crisis. The address
does not allow the Minister's assumption that their
proceedings in the last session arose from misap
prehension, hut persists in all former demands,
and in the resolution to withhold all supplies, and
to cease the exercise ol all legislative functions,
until those demands are granted. Among these
demands are some to whit'h the parent Govern
ment can never assent, at least not until the Con
stitution of that Government shall haw undergone
a radical change. Of course Lord Gosford has
no other alternative but tn dissolve the Parlia
ment- The Quebec Mercury adds, of the answer
of the House:
*• It clearly shows that no good can result Irom
the authorities in Downing street continuing to
handy words with these agitators ; they must act
vigorously and promptly, lor greater evils will a-
rise from following a system ol insinuation, par
ley and base truce," than from a manly resistance
to the involutionary spirit which is now arrayed
against the Government and Constitution as it at
present exist*. The address concludes with some
favorable expressions towards the Gorernor, per
sonally, which bis Excellency can hardly receive
as a compliment, coming, us they do, at the tail
of a tirade against the measures which Ills Lord-
ship's friends have adopted in regard to this Co
lony."

Take the question of Slavery. What has he said
or done to attract to himself the commendation or
good will of Southern plantersT lie was in favor of
the Missouri restriction—that is attested hy his arts in
the Senate of New York, f 1 c entertained the opin
ion that the fr^e negro and mulatto wa* entitled to
stand hy the side of the citizen at the polls, to ra\*e

authority with n declaration in effect, that it would he
inexped ent mid nnju«cta esorcise the (tower. But if
Southern rights might rest secure in that ounce** on,

We have alluded to ono Instance of a ctiRnae of opin

Nor is the change from the affirmative to the negative

maintains the power of internal improvement tn any

power being plenary, the only limitation to which the
other is subject, i9 that it must he second, not first, in
the ordar of time. One so variable in Ins opinions..
and loose withal; who, upon the occasion of the ad
mission of Missouri, was arrayed in fierce hostility to
Southern rights, interest and feelings, and who, upon
other occasions since, has avowed opinions to the
last degree unpopulai and unsafe in 1 hia omnmnni*

They denoted a party numerous and powerful for in
telligence and character. But not merely the party
so culled, hut every unit of that party, would have re
sisted the deduction of these doctrines from their text,
as n downright attempt at the interpolation nf the
grossest heresy. N«y. if one of auch loose faith had
been found in its ranks, he would liavo been condemn

Ins portion. It is an offence to the manliness of the
country, to expect to overcome its steadfast and che
rished sentiment hy the simulated use of favorite
party designations. Can the object he, first to bring
the terms into contempt a* a preliminary to tho mini*
liilation of the realities they denote l Democratic re
publicans! You who look to the venerated Jefferson
ami Madison as your great originals, and desire to
preserve their terms in the sen to in which they illus
trated their doctrines—nay, you who would not sur
render your mother tongue to the demands of an artful
innovator, resist the shallow artifice to enlist your pre
judices against your rights.
Judge Write appears before you not at Ids own
instance—still less at Ihe instance of any high 4 func-

moral firmness nnd devotion to principle—unostenta
tious nnd useful life, thorough knowledge of public af
fairs, and acknowledged ability to conduct them to the
signal benefit of the whole country. As our Chief
Magistrate, his administration would ho distinguished
hv republican simplicity nnd economy ; the virtues of
former days would once more regain their ascendan
cy, and with their restoration, sycophancy, intrigue,
venality nnd violence would be expelled from Ihe pre
sence, of the government.
Sad experience ha* taught a lesson of caution and
distrust, in regard to the professions of public men;
and so far from desiring to weaken its force, we would
urge yon to exercise a spiril of severe and rigorous suspi

cordance with your standard, be decided. Your motto
should he, " not words but deeds.'’ Doubtless, you
dti^ire the government to he conducted with simplici
ty and economy—to he just and inqwirlial in its acts,
open in it* policy, and above nil, free from even the
suspicion of cabal, end that lest and vilest opprobrium,
sycophancy nnd servility. Judge you then between
Jndga White, whose virtue, to# severe fur the meridian
of Washington, brought upon him tho wrath of nn im
pure coalition, *nd Mr. Yen Bureti. who is nt once tho
head and instrument of the '’ompact force of placemen
and officials. Judgeynu between Judge While, whose
course through life has been simple and consistent,
mid identified with yours upon the great question
which agitated #ur country with fuerful throes, the ed-
misMtm of Missouri; and Mr. Van Ruron. who upon
that occnsiuu was among the most determined of your
opponents, and who, as often «s he lies changed his
opinions, .icvur passed from the stronger to the weak
er side. Judge you who will administer the govern
ment with economy : ho who has concurred in its ex
travagance, slid whose adheiviils ere the favored oh-
jncu ef profiiMd and wasteful expenditure, or the un
bending Senator who resisted Ilia illegal appropriations
of public money, or stisightway was proeenbed hy

distracted and divided.
lu thi* county, forming u Congressional district, re
presented in the National Councils by the Row Mr.
Muhlenberg, the party is divided, and really and truly,
1 expect ho will lie beaten. If not, his majority will
not exceed 200. which two years since was 2,700.
As for the Mlector.il ticket, there is nit a itoubt of
What Inis Harrisons success. Rely on wliHt 1 tell you, there is
nut a doubt of Harrison's success.
The disorganizing conduct of Y in Durenixm

FROM THE BALTIMORE CHRONICLE.
A S TO l’ N DING T)I S C JLO S IJ R K.
We published a few day* ago nn article from the
New-York Daily Advertiser, charging n lawyer in tlmt
State, who was just sotting out in his prefersiou. uilb
having persuaded an honest, but less intelligRiit Dutch
neighbor, wlm was embarrassed in Ilia pecuniary mat
ter*. lo make over all his property to him. hy the con
fession of judgment or otherwise, when note cent was
due so that he might, by thus creating a nominal debt,
get clear nf his creditors, under (he two third act ; and
tolling him that subsequently lie could have his
property restored to him, on payment to the said
lawyer of e sufficient sum for bis part in the transac
tion.
The propony was made over, and the iniquitous
scheme consummated, and when the poor misled
Dutchman applied lor a settlement, he was threaten
ed by his lawyer that if tre.r he mentioned tho subject
again, he mould put him in the Slate's Prison for Per-
jurt.
This i* Hie eluuge; and the Advertiser offers to prove
that this Lawyer is Martin Van Bur ex. and to
furnish "names and dales and oir rum stances," if it
he deemed ueccssiry by Hie editor of the New-York
Evnning Post, (a Van Boren paper,) srida pledge giv
en that if it he proven to bq true, Ihe editor of the
Post will not support Mr. Van Boren forth# Presiden
cy. The Post hesitates to give the pledge, and
the Advertiser again reiterates the charge, and
gays:
“ We renew onr offer lo the Editor of the Evening
Post, to furnish him with the name of the mean and
in famous rp.TTiFOc.GtNO Presidential candidate, who
perjured himself! and suborned another to commit
(unintentionally) perjury—who by this means de-
FRAUDF.D Ills NEIORROR OF 111* GOOD NAME AND OF IMS
property, nnd who llieu threatened to have him
indicted if ho uttered a < cmphiint. But. the (dodge
in return which wo require must lie a substantiality—
something nhich is tangible—something which a-
niounts to more than the Post’s •* equivalent”—some
thing more than his violated faith given to the Loci
Focos, am! something that is more definite than a pro
mise to no any time between now and the end of eter
nity. W henever such a pledge is given, we promise
10 change the politics of the Post in a day. nnd pro
duce a metamorphosis as great, though not more pal
pable. as that which his former L»ro Foco organ lias
nndorgone within a few weeks; tea nr nav we repeat,
Mr Luitorf
In the mean time, we will sny to our Whig friends,
that we are in flu isi ku ry no fear, tavor or af
fection for the Presidential pettifogger. Our silence
on the subject of the names arises from the respect we
entertain for the living witnesses of the infamous
transaction, and because ws will not drag a. circle
of tiie sufferer’s friends before the public unless
in our opinion the common good demands it at our
hands!!!
And s'.ill t!io Post evades the question, thus eviden
cing ils fear Ihnt the charge is rrue, and yet lacking the
independent honesty to denounce a man who would
be fftiilly nf such n crime.”
We hope, for the sake of humanity, that the charge
11 not true, or that it may he softened in some of its
more important features, and yet it would appear by
the following extract from the Advertiser, that il is not
now lor the first time published, hut that heretofore Mr.
Van Ruren has been successful in preventing its gene
ral propagation:
•* For our friends at a distance we will sny, that in
making the statement ill the case of tho mean, misera
ble pr.TTiFor.aER who first perjured iiim*elf, de-
fracded ms neighdoR of his property, nnd then
of his good name, we did not mean to have it under
stood that we are or were the *ole depositories of the
knowledge of thecaa* Neither would we hare thorn
infer that it is mw. It is almoflt ns old as the history
ol ihe rise nnd progress «f the intriguer referred to,
and in this city, and Columbia enmity, it is almost ni
well known as the Magician himself.”
Under these circumstances, it becomes the friends
of Mr. Van Btiren to clear him. With such a charge
renting on him no man coaid think of supporting his
election.
From the Woodviflo (Miss.) Republican.
Something worthy of notice.—A very zealoas Vun
Bnren man, (an offle#*serker, if notan office-holder,)
of Attala county. Mr. a ho visaed thiv place re
cently. said that the Board of Police of that county
had loaned him ‘[nf the throe per cent. fund,
arising fVorn the vale of public lands, which was distri
buted nmonif the counties at the last session of the
Legislature,) to enter lands, to create a permanent
fund for tho establishment of a “ Y r an Bnren newspa
per,” in that soctiou of the State.
He status also that it was the intention of the party
lo create Ntieli «n amount as would enable them to
publish the paper rithout charging any tiling to sub
scriber*. And further, that the lands which he had
enteied were now worth 12,000 dollars. This is the
use which the Y'sn Buren part? think fit to maka oft he
money granted to the counties by the Stnt«, for
purposes of internal improvements! What has been
done with the United States funds, since they have
been in the party banks, we may infer from tins cir
cumstance; (lot the majority iu Congress positively
refused an investigation into the subject.) It seem*,
however, that corruption has now grown hold and
mighty, seeking no longer concealment, hut stalk#
aboard in open defiance ol the public virtue nm] integ-
ilty of the country.
Remark able Know Utorm.—Tho New York Com
mercial Advertiser says: " A latter from a friend in
Hkenattelea gives an aceoiint of one of th# most ex
traordinary snow storms that swr oesurred in any au
tumn iu this .State, On Wednesday morning it com
menced snowing, and it continued to full profusely du

The result of the recent Congressional election,
much more Invor&hle to tho State Rights party than
was anticipated hy ourselves, or indeed hy our most
sanguine political aasociates, while it sanctions the be
lief that tho complete triumph of the party with which
vre accord cannot he much longer protracted, thus giv
ing ns every encouragement for perseverance in what
wo deem the good old republican cause, yields us more
over additional reason for heartfelt rejoicing in the okr-
tainty which it firings with it, that in the great effort
now making for the ascendancy of the South, in the
6ncce*s of her own candidate for the Preside
Georgia, ns ever, will he found true to the South and
to herself. Unless something extraordinary, unfore
seen, and wholly unanticipated, occurs before the first
Monday In November next, Marlin Van Buren must
be defeated in Georgia. We believe this lobe the
belief of even the friends of Mr. Van Buren them-
selves. At leasi it lias been tacitly admitted to us hv
many of them with whom we have conversed, nnd
who are above prevaraention upon this as all other
subjects.
W« know that the gentlemen ot the Union party
opposed lo Mr. Tan Bnren, and who will as certainly
vote for Judge White ns will any members of the
While Electoral ticket, cither voted against our Con
gressional ticket, or gave blank votes in tho late elec
tion. We consider the recent result as exhibiting the
true power of the local parties of the State, with the
exception of such Union White men, as inny Imve
thrown an ay (heir vot*-9 from dissatisfaction with the
position of their own Congressional ticket in relation
to Mr. Van Buren. Such.being the fact, (ns w<* pre
sume all candid observers will In* willing to olio*— 1
when we add the supporters of Judge White of tne
Union party to the entire vote of the State Right* par
ty, he most be a most incorrigible unbeliever indeed,
who double for aa instant the signal dofoat of the New-
York cundidale, nnd the complete triumph of Judge
While, who, identified ns ho is with all thul is pecu
liar in Southern feeling and interest, and jeolonaly
alive to nil that would disturb our repose, or mar our
prosperity, may emphatically he called, as lie in fact
will ho proved to he, the Southern candidate lor the
highest office in Ihe gift of Dispeople.
Georgia has done nobly upon the present occasion :
she will do more nobly still a few weeks hence.
It has been with much pleasure wo have reinurked
that the miserable negro tale, with which our neigh
bor of the Standard Iris recently edified its reader.*,
has met with a most uncordial reception even with
our cotemporariwof its own views nnd politics. Out
of the Stm# the story has passed, we believe, without
re-pithlicaiion and without remark. Within tho whole
range of Georgia, even the bitterness of parly strife
has not gained for it, so far as has mot onr eye, one
single indorser ; whilo several of our ablest Edi
torial opponents have thought it due lo themselves
and (heir party to discredit the ” awful disclosures”
tans ceremonie.
We again recur to this affVtr, not to trouble onr-
selvea and onr readers with its refutation, hut with Clio
desire of offering our tribute to fhe press even of our
opponents for their course of dignified self-respect in
this matter. And we would tnke advantago of th#
occasion merely to hint to our neighbor who continues
to embellish the columns of its journal with this bright
discovery, that if the time has not set come, it will
very shortly, when they will find a more necessary and
far move nseful purpose for the ” expunging process”
than the very foolish object for which tlmt illustrious
doctrine was manufactured.
We have noticed recently a most disingenuous
eff#rt, by almost the entire Van Buren press of this
Ktato. to connect the name* and fortunes of Jod^e
While nnd General Harrison together. With the
perfocl knowledge which the editors to whom wo
filicide, possess of the fact, that the cans# of General
Harrison cannot, by any circumstance whatever, he in
th# smallest degree associated with the success or the
defeat of Ihe White Electoral tickot in this Slate, yet
do (base partisans belabor thoir brains lo hutch up
some fancied or pratended connection betweon them,
in Ihe very face of truth and common sense, in the
futila hope tlmt Hi# people of Georgia are inch gull*
as to ho deluded nnd deceived hy sueli pitiful non-
•arise. They will loao their labor. The people of
this Htale, whatever may he thought of their credulity,
however slightly thoir iiiidanttimding* and good a«uiso
may he appruciated hy these their would he deceivers,
are not III# dupes limy are reckoned for, as they will,

the reach of it-• sinister influence.
| The people of Georgia in view or the perilous situ-
| ation of their dearest interests—more perilous than they
j have ever been before since the formation of the Go
vernment-while they feel thin their property, their
iptiet, Ihe peace ol the domestic hearth, and Ihe safety
of their wives and children, tire all invaded by the fu-
riotis, determined and combined assault of ignorance
fanaticism and depravity, have no desire lo choose
f'r thoir Chief Magistrate, a candidate from either
New-York or Ohio, tho very hut-beds of Abolition-
ism, from whence has issued a perfect inundation of
! incendiary publications, which have deluged even our
own Southern country. They Imve no partiality f 0 r
either the New-Yorker who yields the Constitution
our enemies, or the Uhiouti who, we fear, partakes
likewise iu the spirit of his people. They desire to
elect the mini w ho will, to the extent of the Ext-.u-
tivn influence, protect us iu our dearest rights, because
he is one of ourselves; whose constitutional principles
are wholly with us, ami wlm is entirely with us in feel
ing ; who is in no danger of being misled hy a mistak
en philanthropy, because liu works his own hands,
and feeds end clothes hie own people, and cannot bo
blinded hy any arts, how ever plausible, asto what both
justice nnd hutnaanily alike demand at his hands.
liciiH I, \VntfK is tbe candidate, anil the ONLY
CANDIDATE uf our party in Georgia. Ilo is the
true Southern candidate, iduutilied with the South
in all her interests, which are now, have been, and
are destined to he so recklessly assailed. He will
stand or fall with the people ol tho; South for lie is
one of ourselves, nnd his own wife and children must
he the participants of tho weal or woo of the South.
We have no safety lor Ihe peruiaiience of our poculi-
inr inlerests in the success of either the candidate of
Ohio or New-York; while Hugh E. White will ho
found in the van of the champions of tlm South, and
Id fate decide against us, ou the last rampart in
defence of Southern rights nnd Southern institutions.

may be before you and the people in time. It will af*
ford me pleosuro, el all times, to he distinctly under*

approaching Presidential election.
I beg to say, in the commencement ot this answer,
that the fairness end candor of continuing the csc of
Mr. Webster’s name in the present canvass, is noi
very manifest. That gentleman has fairly, fully and
publicly wnhdruwn from the contest, al least three
mouths ago. I shall not, do not, nnd cannot consider
him a eandidaio for tho Presidency.
You apuear to have been prompted to make your
enquiries Irom the fact that “iho Republican Herald
lias declared, that it hud sooner see General Harrison,
or <inu other candidate, in the Presidential chair than
Mr. V an Buren. I am usuhseriher to that paper,and
agree with it generally but I have neither Iho wish nor
ihe power to control or influence il# course, and do
not consider myself at all responsible for its opinion
whether they ha deemed right or wrong.
Your first enquiry is—•• In order that our Represen

you compose, be successful, may know the autiro
wishes ot e mnj irily of the people of Georgia on thi#
