* Your gi iof is genuine,' said the syBH,
‘ but you should have been prepared for
the blow which has struck you ; it was ne
cessary to the realization ot a fate which
has already been predicted to you.’
“ What! do you know—” exclaimed the
young widow, throwing aside hei veil.
“ I know that a high destiny has been
predicted to you.”
“ And this prediction—”
“Will be accomplished.”
The creole imagination of Josephine
Beauharnois was highly excited by these
two promises, at twenty years interval, of
a future crown. The Parisian sybil had j
confiimed the decree of the sorceress of
Martinique.

The most important as well as the most in

relates to the present condition of Spam. We
regret to perceive that affairs in that country
have recently changed from bad to worse. It is
to be apprehended that the constitutional gov
ernment, which it cost so much to establish—both
of blood and treasure—will be overthrown. Es-
partero, the excellent, intrepid and patriotic re
gent, seems to have fallen, all at once, from the
summit of popularity to the depth of disgrace.
Should Espartero fall, and with him the throne
ol Isabella, the friends of liberty will have
cause to regret the event. It is not long since,
as a foreign journal says, that his ungrateful
countrymen looked upon Espartero as “ the on

The people have become tired of whittling on
abstractions, and wearing themselves out on
quiddities. They find that such efforts will not
pay for the candle, and that losing sight of the
real interests of the country for such objects,
has only involved themselves and their State in
embarrassment and distress.

time has arrived when the people, casting from

To the Proplr of Georgia.
At a meeting of the Whig members of the last
j General Assembly, a committee was appointed
j to address you ; as members of that committee,
that duty has devolved upon us.
In order rightly to understand and appreciate
| a part of the legislation of the last General As-
j sembly, it is useful and proper that we briefly
I advert to a portion of the legislation of 1 lie last
j ten years, commencing with the condition of our
I a flairs when the present dominant party were
j entrusted with the State Government. * From
' this review, it will appear that the legislative his-
{ lory of our State whilst tinder the control of that
combination of citizens, who choose to call them-
I selves the Democratic parly, is strongly marked
with blunders and disasters, weakness and wick
edness, unsteadiness of purpose and vacillations
in policy, wasteful extravagance and timid tem
porary expedients, a disregard of the public in
terests in official appointments, and contempt for
the sanctity of private contracts and the public
faith. Their most recent demonstrations seem
to confirm these leading characteristics; there
seems to be an increased tendency in their policy
to substitute the will of the legislative majority
tor the constitutional barriers which fence about
private rights, and protect them from invasion ;
to squander the puirlic funds in accomplishment
of partizan ends, and then to supply the deficien
cies thus created in the public revenue, by the
most odious and wrongful sequestrations ol the
accumulated labor of particular classes of the
community who are believed to be weak, and
sought to be made odious, by a system rather

able to bear their effects; but in such a day as
the part of the writers, the address but re-echoes
j the opinions and wishes of the Whigs on this
1 subject. Says the address,
“ To support our General Government, duties upon
! imports nre properly regarded as tire most equitable
and the least burtbensome mode by which taxes may
be imposed. It is indirect taxation, and if judiciously
; laid, tails with equal force on a'! classes of file commu-

greatest repugnance !
These questions were put in a monotonous,
nasal tone, and to each answer she would re-
sjKrnd, ‘Very good,’ continuing to shuffle her
cards, and presenting them to the visiter with a
request to cut them with the left hand, 'i hen
dealing them on to the table, one by one, she
would run on with iter prophecies, with a volu
bility w hich it was almost difficult to follow, and
which seemed like reading from a book or repeat
ing a studied lesson. Iu this flood ol apparent
ly unmeaning words, one would be suddenly
struck with aluminous trait.
She excelled particularly in depicting the
character, inclinations and tastes of her visiters ;
it was not the physiognomy which guided her,
for site scarcely looked them in the lace ; a I i
her science lay in the various combinations o!
her cards, which rarely deceived her. She ne
ver failed to tell many truths respecting the past,
aud the most of those who have consulted her
declare that her predictions were almost inva
riably realized.
Among the most illustrious of her clients,
may be enumerated Barras, Tallien, David the
painter, Prince Talleyrand, Garat the singer,
Talma, General Moreau, Deuon, aud the Duke
de Berry. Many foreigners of distinction held
correspondence with her, aud nearly all the
ladies of the Parisian fashionable world have
consulted her.
If she has left any memoirs, preserved all the
letters which have been written to her, and re
gistered tiie names of all those who have had
recourse to her art, her papers will be worth
much more than the five hundred thousand
francs, which it is said compose her fortuue.
Mile. Lenortnaud will never be replaced. It

heads of the army, and the intriguers for office
j at tlte capital—their faithless, corrupt nature,
their mutual treachery, which renders them in
capable of trusting each other or acting in con
cert lor any time—their readiness to conspire a-
I gainst any government, or any comrade who may
j rise by superior inabilities above them, render
the prospect of a regular government or of any
settlement of Spanish affairs impracticable, we
fear, by any other means than the sword. It is
plain that the Regent’s endeavour to govern con-
j stitutionally by the instrumentality of a Cortes,
has hitherto signally failed.
Should Espartero, surrounded as lie is on all
sides by difficulties and dangers, with his mortal
foe Navarez in front, fail in striking one of his
old decisive blows at the hydra-headed insurrec-
5 tion, should he lose life or liberty in tlte strug
gle, it is not improbable that the victorious trai
tors will each full in his turo in the course of
the vicissitudes that will follow, until one man
abler than the rest to cope with liis unprincipled
comrades shall rise superior to the anarchy and
quell it.—Boston Atlas.
With the exception of the italicised words,
this is precisely the Whig creed of Georgia on
' the subject of the tariff’. A tariff for revenue,
, and this too for the support of an economical
j government, with only the usual incidental pro
tection which such a tariff will afloid, is just the
tariff' the Whigs desire, and such as they are
determined to have. They are opposed to any
attempts to sustain the government by direct
1 taxes on lhe people, and therefore demand that
j it shall be supported in the old way, by a tariff
of duties on the goods brought into the country
I from abroad. It is by far the most acceptable
| way to the people of raising taxes, and always
has been so ; and the protection to our own in-
tliis, when it is all we can do to make both ends
meet, we have no tithes to spare to promote the
selfishness of the demagogue, no time and no
means to squander on mere names. Practical
men who will be guided by the lessons of expe
rience, and who will not dare to destroy the pub
lic weal for the glory of an experiment, are the
men wanted for the times. We believe the peo
ple are determined to revolutionize the times on
this point—to go for their country first, and their
party afterwards; and we believe from all we can
hear, that tlte first Monday of October will be the
first act in this wholesome and necessary revolu
tion.
Iff will be remembered that the Whigs of the
ast Legislature appointed a Committee to ad
dress the people in relation to the public con
cerns of the State, its legislation, and the policy
generally by which we have been governed for
tiie last few years ; the power in the mean time
being wielded emirely by our opponents. In an
other part of our paper will be found the address
of the Committee, and to it we would invite the
attention of the reader.
the public faith by these people has been evinced
in pledging particular public funds by legislative
enactment to the security and redemption of
public contracts, and then diverting and appro
priating these funds to other and dissimilar ob
jects, or dissipating them in public loans. We
have but little cause to complain that the world
esteemed but lightly pledges which we were so
little careful to redeem.
During the long and disastrous reign of that
party, millions of public money have been ex
pended in a public improvement, not yet com
pleted, and therefore worthless ; and which they
are afraid either to complete or abandon. Other
millions, the accumulated savings of their pre
decessors during many years of prudence and
economy, have been consumed and dissipated by
them without advantage or benefit to the public.
The ordinary means for raising money for pub
lic uses were abandoned, and loans were resort
ed to as the means of paying the ordinary ex
penses of the government. These were the
principles w hich they carried into the State Gov
ernment; we propose to trace their progress and
expose their results.
In 1833, when these gentlemen, under the
name of the 44 Union Democratic Republican
Party,” obtained a majority in the State by the
popularity ofGeneral Jackson, and tlte unpopu
larity of Nullification, our finances were in a
most prosperous condition—our treasury was
overflowing—we owed no debts, and owned be
tween two and three millions of money, good
bank stocks, and other solvent securities lor mo
ney—our credit was good—our good faith was
spotless—our currency was sound, abundant, but
not redundant—our poor school and academic
Marriages in Ireland.—There seems to be
fatality attending the administration of govern
ment in Ireland. Every step taken by the ru
lers appears destined to increase and render the
maintenance ol Union and the preservation ol
peace more and more impossible. The griev
ances of the Roman Catholics, attendant upon
the domination of the Established Church, have
been proclaimed aloud for years ; aud now a de
cision has been pronounced, in lavor of the same
Established Church, which has thrown the
Presbyterians of Ireland—and they are more
than a moiety of the Protestants—into the ut
most alarm and agitation.
On the 7th July the Judges attended in the
House of Lords, and gave their unamimous
opinion on the subject of Presbyterian mar
riages, referred to them on a technical point ta
ken in the case of tlte Queen versus Mellis, a
man charged with bigamy. An Irish Protest
ant married a Protestant dissenting woman, per
■verba de prevsenti. in the house of a Presbyte
rian minister. He afterward came to England
and married another woman, first stiff alive.
Prosecuted for bigamy, his > isel objected
that the former ceremony was no marriage.
The Judges now decided that the contract
per verba de preesenti is only a contract lor mar
riage (down to the marriage act of 1827 indis
soluble betwen the parlies, though not since:)
but it is not a marriage, in order to which the.
contract must lake place in the presence ol a
priest in orders; the Presbyterian minister is
j»ot a priest in ciders ; therefore the former
ceremony was not a marriage. To allay the
alarm which this decision would create in I reland,
Lord Brougham declared that it did not follow
that the House of Lords w ould affirm it, or that
the Legislature would refuse to pass aD act to
provide for the emergency by an ex post facto law.
Oil the moLion of the Lord Chancellor the farth
er consideration of the subject was deferred," ‘Lord
Campbell emphatically declaring that however
reluctant he might tie to differ from the Judges,
lie should be still more unwilliog to declare the
marriages of Dissenters, Quakers, Jews, &c. ille
gal.—New York Commercial.

Carrying Deadly Weapons—The Albany
Argus, commenting upon the frequency of the
crime of, or attempt at, homicide, and upon the
censures lavished by the press upon Courts and
Juries, as lending too ready ears to the plea of
insanity, or any other mitigating plea, thinks the
censure not well directed, and would rather look
to the abominable and murderous practice of
carrying deadly weapons, as that which public
opinion and law should put down. The editor
says—
44 The true remedy lies in a prohibition of
the practice of carrying concealed and deadly
weapons. No man arms himself with a dirk-
knife, for instance, without meditating violence,
or without reference to some occasion when he
may put it to fatal uses. The fact of a person’s
having such weapons about him, ought to be by
lawpriniafacie evidence of an indiscriminate de
sign upon human life, either in self-defence or in
aggression, and he ought to be punished crimi
nally, and as severely hi proportion to the crime
of which they may be the instrument, as in the
having in one's possession counterfeit bills.
The deadly intent ought to be presumed from
the fact of possession- as Lhe having counterfeit
biffs is prima facie proof of an intention to utter
them. The law should make no distinction, in
point of guilt, between hint who carries about
ins person that which, if used, must result in
loss ol life or severe bodily injury, and liitrt who
has in his pocket that which, if uttered, results
in loss ol property. Besides, the mere possession
of the instrument of death or robbery may,
and no doubt not urifrequejilly does, lead to
crime which otherwise never would have been
perpetrated. The prevention of crime is of
course preferable to punishment, and we take
the liberty to suggest, that the press would do
infinitely better service to society, if, instead of
flings at courts and juries for not visiting crime
and violence with indiscriminate vengeance, they
would turn their attention to the practice to
which we have alluded, and urge upon legisla
tors the duty of prohibitory and highly penal en
actments against it.”

On the subject of a National Bank, we regret

tirely silent as to any substitute for it. This is
hardly candid. But the other day, the question
I was fairly and candidly trade by Mr. Calhoun’s

“you must either take tlie Sub-Treasury or a
j National Bank; there is no other practical plan
j for carrying on the business of the government.”
' And so say the candid of both parties now. We
i must take either a National Bank, which is Mr.
j Clay’s fiscal acency for the government, or a
j Sub-Treasury, which is Mr. Calhoun’s and Mr.
: Van Buren’s. But the address is as silent as
deatli on this their only substitute for a National
Bank. Surely this was not to have been expect
ed, in an address designed to set forth the promi
nent measures approved or opposed by the two
' parties- If the National Bank, as the address
■ says, is one of the four great questions which di-
| vide the two great parties of the country, cer
tainly the Sub-Treasury, which is the plan and
tlie only plan offered as .he substitute for a Na-
tional Bank, cannot be less another of the great
; questions which divide the parties. Why then
has the address sc singularly passed over, in en-
! tire silence, this essential subject of contest be
tween the parties? Whatever the reason, we
are by no means disposed to follow the example.
Whenever and wherever a Calhoun or Van Bu
ren man anathematizes a National Bank, he is
triumphantly met, even without discussion, by
the simple reply, "it is at least far better than

Cmim Bagging.
It is believed by those who have tried the.
article, that the bagging made at home from
our own staple, is not only as good, but belter
than the hemp bagging so much and so iong
used by our Planters. The Savannah Repub
lican some time ago, furnished a very satisfacto
ry test of this, in a case which occured under
its eye. It was that of a boat load of Cotton,
which was lefr wet and exposed on the bank of
the river for several weeks. Part of the Cotton
was packed in hemp and part in cotton bagging.
When examined, the hemp bags would tear by
a slight effort, while the cotton bags seemed as
stroug as ever. Here is one experimental proof,
which is worth any number of suppositions, of
the superiority of the article in question. In ad-
limited ouly by tiie discretion ol'tlte Directors of
the Bank. This was done to induce the popular
belief that the measure was intended to relieve
the people and not themselves from difficulties.
In this state of affairs, the political revolution
of 1840, which was scarcely less fortunate for
them than the country, swept them from the
public counsels, and the State Government was
committed to the Whigs. The Wltigs found
the treasury without funds—no revenue law in
existence to replenish it—the poor school fund
swallowed up iu the Central Bank and unavaila
ble—nearly a million of Central Bank notes iu
circulation, with nothing to redeem them but the
notes of its customers and the small remaining
portion of its capital stock—a public debt to be
provided for of nearly a million and a half of
dollars, and above six hundred thousand dollars
of that debt due, and pressing the treasury for
immediate payment—the three hundred thou
sand doliar loan of 1837 still unpaid and under
protest—and a general suspension of cash pay
ments by the banks. To add to these difficul
ties, and (urther to embarrass the government,
his Excellency Gov. McDonald recommended
to the Legislature to borrow enough mouey to
relieve the people from the cansequences of a
bad crop, and loan it out to them through the
Central Bank.
How did the Whig party meet these difficul
ties? They reduced the appropriations, and con
fined them to their legitimate and necessary pub
lic objects ; levied a tax to meet their appropria
tions and pay the debts left by their predeces
sors ; restrained the Central Bank from farther
issues of its bills; provided for the redemption
of those already in the hauds of the people ; or
dered the sale of such of the ungranted lands
as had been draiyn over eighteen years, after a
limited lime allowed to the drawers to grant
them ; provided for the sale of the Bank stock,
and the collection of the debts due the State,
taking out grants until December 1843, for which
reason many of the Whigs, deeming the public
faith implicated, were constrained to oppose the
act. What they did was chiefly in affirmance of
the policy of the Whig party. That which they
attempted aud failed in, was all their own. To
this part cf their career we propose now to refer.
It was chiefly characterized by efforts to replen
ish the exhausted coffers of the Central Bank,
without reference to justice or right, and to ar
rest the ordinary administration of the laws.
The depreciation of Ceutral Bank notes, re
sulting as it did from the most uniform and
obvious laws of trade, was attributed to Whig
brokers. It is suited their purposes to give the
Whigs a monopoly of that class of traders.—
Under the avowed pretence of abolishing the
business of brokerage, but with the real object
of compelling people by law, under heavy pains
and penalties, to receive a depreciated, fluctua
ting currency at a rate fixed by the Legislature,
they introduced, and a majority of the party
sustained, in its different stages through the
House of Representatives, that memorable bill
entitled 44 an act to define the business of bro
kerage, and to require brokers to take out li
cense, and for other purposes.” The definition
of brokerage contained in the bill included, and
was intended to include, every human being
who could by any possibility acquire a Central
Bank note. They defined it to be, among many
other things, buying or selling bank notes, coin,
gold or stiver bullion, "promissory notes, due bills,
drafts or bonds, or other obligations to pay mo
ney, of any description whatever.” It subjected
to its grinding oppressions every description of
citizen; the capitalist, and the honest daily labor
er were equally to be its victims. It annihi
lated the internal trade of the state, unless under
legislative license, to be issued only upon the
payment of heavy pecuniary exactions ; and vio
lations of its provisions were - punishable by
