C m in*’ opinions with those tnrmrrly advanced
•nd insisted on hv the President, it is difficult to determine
whether he advocates the present, because of an uhaiid.ni-
mcrit of the former, or as an expedient to meet emergen
cies which could not he met hv the former; either, howe
ver. is sufficient to show a distrust by hint of the efficiency
of the Suit-Treasury scheme, to perfect the objects pro
fessed to he attained by it. Anil so long as that system
cannot subserve ‘-public interest,” or policy, as well as
oauthor, so long should il l«i rejected.
And here, sir, is the end ol the “great measure of de
liverance and liberty’—here is the mighty question of“dt-
v,.rro of Bank and Stale,’ the great principles of the Ked-
«,,„l Constitution, thrown upon the mere “ policy” or “ in
terest” of the Government ! The President says that the
ilanks shall he used, as “ public policy” may require. Sup
pose that “ policy” should dictate a connexion of the same
■character as that of the lute exploded pet Bank system—
ns that a “ divorce of Bank and Stale”—is that an “ Inde
pendent Treasury” I To “deal with the Banks on the same
terms, as with private individuals”—does that look like
diss.lving all connexion with the Banks? W hat does the
gentleman from Houston,' think of these sentiments ? He |
£as declared that the supporters of such, are the friends I
or a “moneyed aristocracy.” Will he pur Mr. A ttn Buren
among the iiiimbi;r? Unfortunately, the resolutions were
offered here, before the Message was received. A\ ill the
gentleman approve or condemn the principles of the Mes
sage—I dure him to do either.
Mr. A’an Burcu has at length got right upon the subject
nf tha currency. No man in his senses should have over
•entertained any other principles than those set forth in the
extract I have just read. 1 have always sustained them,
and my friend from Muscogee will receive them us a part
of my own. In addition to them, I would require the pub-
lit; monies to he roll-eteJ in the hills of specie paying
Banks, hv officers appointed by the Government, disbursed
hv similar officers, and holding the collector tespotisililc
for tfie sufelv of the money, he might deposit at his pleasure
oil Iter in the vaults of n Custom House, or of a Bank. And
attcb principles, 1 will tell my friend from Muscogee, were
recognized the first year ol our existence under the Fede
ral Constitution, and that too v. ithout it name !
Mr. How A U It—Mr Speaker, the gentleman is sound in
),ia faith; I will receive him as a Suh-'l reasnry man.
Mr. MkkiWKTHKR—I seek no enlistment in such ranks.
What! I who maintain the use of Bunks on the parts of
Government, a» “public policy” or '* interest” may suggest,
to bo received among the advocates of ^divorce of Bunk
mid Slate’!! 1. ibis your boasted Snb-Tleasnry scheme?
the “ measure of deliverance and liberty,’' that with such
contimer.ls 1 cun lie received into communion with you !
Why surely, it is in truth, a farce.
But 1 will not reject the proffered association of iny friei d
Lrom Muscogee, and though 1 cannot, will not go to him,
jet I will gladly receive him, when he enmos to me. I feel
Jianored in the preference he manifests in his association,
■und indulge no vain hope, that tho present may prove
snare fortunate, than his recent one.
Ami now, since we who wore so far opart at the begin
ning. have at last unite.! oar destiny in one common lot—
should my friend from Muscogee feel, that in this contest,
lei has suffered unkindly. I trust he will permit me to solace
him in the hour of his grief with the reflection, that once
upon a time just like he, poor 1 ray was most cruelly bea
ten, for having been found in very had company.
THE RECORDER.
MILLEDGEVILLE.
Tuesday, February 26, 1S39.
1 hero has been n tremendous gale, or hurricane at Liv
erpool, which began or. the night of the Gill January, con
tinued the whole of the succeeding day, and is represen
ted as the most dreadful storm experienced in the course
of thepicsent century. In the city of Liverpool, to say
nothing of property, not less than twenty deaths had been
reported, by the coroner: ami from the number of people
injured, the number of deaths will he greatly increas
ed. 1 he loss at sea, and of the surrounding district, had
not been ascertained. At Liverpool, a large number of
Vessels were wrecked, among them three of the finest New
\orb packets: and the loss of lives, occasioned by these
wrecks, amounted it is supposed to several hundred. The
amount of merchandize in the throe Now-York packets,
amounted to upwards of three Million of Dollars, which
would mostly be lost. S lit, at a Considerable distance in
the interior, which had been blown by the hurricane from
the sea, was scraped from the trees in considerable quan
tity.
According to the anemometer of the Philosophical
Institution, at Ber».inghatn, the following calculation of
the power of the wind during the hurricane was made at
that place :—At 1 l o'clock, the pressure of the wind was
about 3 lbs. to the square foot. The wind gradually lose
till “ o clock, nt which time the pressure was 25 lbs. to
the square foot—the highest pressure according to the reg
ister was 30 lb*, to tho foot. The Humane Society of
Liverpool, immediately after the storm, received subscrip
tions to the amount of about 20.000 dollars.
Mr. Gholson, the Mississippi congressional representa
tive, lately rejected by the people of that Stale, has beet:
appointed by the President of the United State* to he Dis
trict Judge of tho United States for the District of Missis
sippi. This is following in tho footsteps of Gen. Jackson in
fact, nlthongh very far from it it) theory. The theory of
Gen. Jackson, if we mistake not, (und if we are mistaken,
will our neighbors ot the Standard or Federal Union cor
rect us.) was that the appointment of Congressmen by the
Government to office, wa* one of the crying abuses which
his Administration was to reform.. How fur the General
carried out his theory, cun lie ascertained by inquiring
the situutiou of utmost tivery thorough partiznu who
the honor of being defeated by the people. They were all
rewarded by the Government for their devotion.
As Dr. Duncan teems to be considered especially the
champion of the Van Buren administration in the House
of Representatives? and as wo notice that his speeches jire
circulated in this State, with notes of admiration by our
Van Buren cotcmpcraries ; and more than all, as we ob
serve, with surprize, strenuous efforts made by some of our
cotemporaries to wipe off from llie honorable member the
black spots of abolitionism, we feel it our duty to lay be
fore our readers such materials upon this point, as may at
least enable them to judge for themselves, without the help
or direction of any body. And the first recofd wo shall
bring forward, and for this week the only one, is the follow
ing: Mr. Stanley, a member of Congress from Norlh-Caro-
lina, lakes occasion in a speech which he delivered in the
House of Representatives, to comment largely on a letter
which this Dr. Duncan had Written to the abolitionists,
and in answer to their inquiries just before his election.
We shall, if posflblo, give tho whole of the speech, but
must for the present content ourselves with the following.
It will be seen that Dr. Duncan, in the House, replied to
ihe interrogatories in propria persona, as they were read
from tho letter referred to ; and really we- should like to
k now what our contemporaries, Lis admirers in this State,
will say to his replies, when lie declares in favor of legis
lating on this subject for the District of Columbia, anil de
clares tiis opposition even to the admission of our neighbor
Florida, into the Union as a State unless she will first
become an abolition State. We slmli wait to see, with
some interest. In the meantime to ourextrarts:
Mr. Speaker, I have in my comments come too near the
end of tiie letter. 1 hope I have not wearied the House,
though, impelled by my feelings, and excited bv frequent
inteiruptioirs, I ntay have occupied mote time than l am
aware of. Before 1 turn away from ibis subject, let me
read from the beginning of the letter the answers to the
first and second queries:
“Question 1st. Do you believe that Congress should main
tain, unabridged, the right of the people to petition for the
abolition of slavery and the slave trade in the District of Co
lumbia 1”
[Here Mr. Di-ncav, who was standing in front of Mr.
Stanly, answered •* l do.”]
There, sir, lie comes out liko a man, and answers that
question here on this floor.
Well, sir T uftei speaking in favor of tlio right of put tiun,
he says:
“ So long as I have * seat in Congress, I will receive and
present abolition and all other kinds of petitions, proper to
be presented. 1 will also move their reference'to the appro
priate committees, and do whatever else may be proper to be
done, tu bring the subject-matter Lelore the body in which I
may have a seat, lor its regular action. This far I would con
sider it my unavoidable duty; but as I am not interrogated
aa to the balance of my duty, it is not expected that 1 should
answer.”
A little of non-committal in this avoiding to answer
when.not interrogated. Bul then comes the second ques
tion; and I want my democratic colleagues to hear this

There is aptness and originality in the following remark

nuchs who have the-power to guard -without the w ish to en-

This citv continues to show lively signs of the revival
of trade. Boxes lumber up tiie side-walks, and carts
throng llie streets. Stores are in great demand. Every
nook nnd corner of Wail street, from garret to crllar, are
wanted. Up town is so encumbered with building mate
rials in many parts as to indicate that what is tip h -n

cheerful nnd happy. Tlieir sufferings they huve already
forgotten iu the rising visions of iiopr. The ciir, which a
year ago was but a sepulchre of the human energies, in
which were L-u.- led, if not the souls and bodies of men, nil
their powers of action, is now the glorious panorama of
coneelraled human life, developing all the high capacities
of mail! Pompeii is alive again! The men who were
but petrified, and stood up as stony statues, are living,
acting men again. Commerce has breathed into them
the breath of KG. That subtle essence of commerce, the
currency of the land, the Government now loaves untouch
ed. It does not bleed o* tu death to make us well. No
specie circular extracts the life-blood of trade. No hard
money nostrums are shoved down our throats. What,

when once made, no expansion can destroy. Ncw-York

worst conies to worst. They who loll on the luxurious

chant of years and years of practice, who has worked his
way along from the selling of a single herring in the street,
to the selling of the products of manufactures nnd agricul
ture by thousands or millions ol dollars at once; but I w ill
venture to sav, if these expansions are left to their control,
nnd no rash experimenting hand deals rudely with them,
when contraction comes, it will be but a gentle pressure,

SF.tOXIi ADDRESS TO TIIE FARMERS OF GEORGIA.
If we should see a young man who bad inherited a
valuable estate from his father, so lost to reason and judg
ment, as to proceed forthwith to mortgage it for cigars,
wines, su-.ierli equipage, and wasteful luxury,-vre would
pronounce such a- one imprudent in tlie extrt-nie, nud say
he must be ruined in ihe shd. No less fntirl has been the
course oftbe Georgia Pla iters. Ours has been a singular
lVirtune,-s*ivh ns-tins fallen to the h>t of no ether people in
tin—e United States, or p- riinps iu the wide woi Id.
The first settlers entered upon the soil of the Slate, nt
perhaps about the same price that the wrttlers entered
other portions of the Union; but the larger and better
portion of land lias been a free grant fin flic citizens, and
at such dlfierent periods as were most favorable to pros
perity ; for no sooner hud the lands between the Savannah
and the Oconee rivers began to be peopled to a little full
ness, than was granted the larger- portion between the
Oconee nnd Ocmulgee rivers, and grant after grant has
been made of lands yet richer and richer,- yc?better, and
better, until the last has been granted.
The land bus been entered upon by an industrious and
economical people. The soil and climate adapted to
growing cotton, the most valuable, as well as the most
exhausting crop, Unit earth can grow. We have rushed
on ward with all diligence to reap the rich reward, and
have increased "in wealth and luxury beyond all example,
and bevuiid our net, most hopeful calculations, iienre,
ne'poor man of twenty years azo, is to day frequently
fi.uiid the wealthy independent farmer, living in ail the
plenty and luxury that-earth can give. How long can this
state of prosperit y continue? is a question asked by every
man who loves his country or his countrymen. Well.it
is useless to shut our eves, for he that leaps from a preci-
'pice blindfolded jffirils as fatally as he that goes dow n wide
awake.
One source of wealth is sow forerer gonebv, no more
free granting-of rich lands—another source is fast coming
to a close, ll.-e clearing and cultivating-a virgin soil—the
poor man driven to his last shift—-no more hopes to draw
a rich lot in the West, to w hich be may easily remove and
commence the world with renewed energies—cheered on
in his toil by the prospset of many years of fruitful plenty.
Bat unless there is a very radical change in our plans of
farming,-wc must feel the gloom and dispondency of an
annually lessoning crop, with an annually increasing ex
penditure.

TRICES OF COTTON.
Augusta Market, Feb. 2t.
Colton.—The rerent intelligence frhin Liverpool to fine lUtb
January, has had very little or no effect in our market, and
we have no alterations to notice, further than that die finer de
scriptions are more sought after, and the lower qualities more
neglected than they were e n this day wuek. The demand
throughout the week has been fair, anil the sales to a liberal ex
tent, considering the prices paid, and the great scarcity of mo
ney at the present time. From warehouses, they reach 1700
hales, which were disposed of as follows: 14 bales at 14
cents, 13 at 14j, 75 at 14$, 241 at 15.121 at 15$, Ifi nt 15$, 448
at 15£, 79 at 15|, 474 at 15$, 154 at 16, GS at 1 6$ and 20 at 1C J.
We quote 14 a lfi|-ceiits Prime and choice lot* continue
very scarce, and there are none of the latter description of
fering—a strictly choice lot in square bales, we Lelive would
readily bring 16$ cents. Our stock of cotton is decreasing
fast, and our receipts are very light for thi; season of tiie
year. Of the stock on band, about oqe third i* held on plan-
ters account, the balance is in the bauds of speculators und
shippers.
Ctroctries.— There is nothing doing worth reporting in our
grocery market, and the only sales that have come to our
knowledge were a large lot of New-Orloans Molasses on the
wharf, at 38 cents ; and a lot of SJ bags fair Cuba Coffee at
13 cents, 90 days.
Exchange ontinues scarce, and a difference is still made
of half per cent, between city and country bills. Sight checks
are selling cut doors at 1 $ for city and 1$ per cent premium
for country notes. On Chaileston $ a $; iSavannah j a 1 per
cent, premium. Bank of Home bills, do not pass in this city,
even brokers refuse to lake them at a discount.
Liverpool, Jan. 14.
Cotton.—The demand from speculators in the early part of
the weak continued active, and several large purchases were
made at full prices; but the enquiry has since been moderate
and fine trade being the only buyers, and this chiefly for their
immediate wants, the market has closed without animation,
and former prices are with difficulty supported. Upland 7$
to 9d.
Liverpool, Jan, 16.
Cotton.—The sales on Thursday last were .7000 bales,
2500 taken on speculation ; Friday, 5000, 3000 on speculation.
Saturday, 4000, 2200 on speculation ; Monday, 4000,1500 on
speculation ; Tuesday 1500, and to day 2000. The demand
since last week has been t nlv moderate, the trade supplying
only their immediate wants. Speculators are still in the mar
ket, hut their operations are not extensive. Cotton is offer
ing in abundance at {d to $d per pound, decline of the last
fortnight's prices. The import of llie week, amounts to 26,-
030 bags.
Liverpool, Jan. 17.
Since our letter on the 12tli, the Cotton market has been
quite inanimate. The trade sre w ell supplied, and specula
tors have withdrawn. Prices are nominally the same.
