or seven past—in consequence of which, tho
wheat crop will not produco more than half

from Burke County, Gr., of July 1, appears
in the last^AuguataChronicle:—
“ Tho Com Crops are unusually fine in
this County, atfd also in Hcriyen county, and
in the nelghboiing parts of South Carolina,
whore 1 have lately been. The Cotton
Crops ore quite indifferent—tho planters say,
much worse than for several years past, and
that, if the rainy weather continues much
longer, a considerable portion, at least, will
scarcely be worth preserving. Both-Corn
and Cotton, generally,, aro terribly overrun
with grass— eo much*so that, though every
possible effort is struined to the purpose, it is
round impossible to get it under without
much injury—and numbors havo been obliged
to throw away a portion of tbeir crops to en-
ablo them, to 6ave the other. The fruit
crops, generally, will be very large and
fine.”
“ What on extraordinary chango baata

sively hot that men and horses frequently
fainted in the fickle ; and I have heard of
two instances iu which both havo died —
And now, fop the last two days and nights—

Manuxactuiwb.—Wo are happy to see
from the last No. of Mr. Roguuel’a 14 Free
Trade Advocate,” a sufficient number of
subscribers to pay tbo^expences of pbblica-
tion, has been obotsined and this interesting
Journal is therefore to bo contined. We
hail this event as propitious to tbo success of
free and liberal principles.
Tho present condition of the Manufactur
ers decidedly proves, that the “ American
System” has been carried to a ruinous ex
cess; and that the Tariff has had the effect,
of over doing the production of goods In our
country, and of encouraging the smuggling
of foreign articles. Tho Manufacturers iu
Massachusetts, in Rhode Island, and in Phil
adelphia, aro suffering from both these
causes.
The “ Free Trade Advocate” of tbo 13th
ult. states somo
“ Particulars rejativo to tbo state of tho
cotton manufacture in Philadelphia aud its
vicinity, as communicated to us on the 2nd
ult. by a friend, who himself the proprietor
of a factory. He slated, that bo had lately
slopped his works, which are for spinning
cotton, and dismissed all his hands, in num
ber near forty men, women and girls, in con
sequence of the low price of cotton yaru
which had fallen within a year from twenty
seven cents per pound (for number fifteen,)
to nineteen cents. He stated, .that to make
a pound of yarn it requires one pound and
about onq eighth of raw cotton, 'which at
the present price of cotton, ten cents after
paying wages, loaves no surplus for the wear
and tearot the machinery, and for profits of
capital. Ho also staled, tiiat a very great
number of the manufacturers had been
ruined in this city and suburbs , aud expros
sed bis opinion, that four thousand looms were
now idle, which had been employed within a
year past. He recounted to us tbo particu
lars which had led to this catastrophe, as
follows: Prior to the passage of the last tar
iff law the spinnofs of cotton were in the
practice of demanding cash from the weav
ers, for the yarn This practico obliged the
weavers to confine the extent of their trade
to the amount of tbeir capitals, as far as the
purchase of yarn was cencorncd, but, about
fifteen months ago, say March 1828, the
quantity of machinery in opearation in differ
ent quarters, was bo great bb to produco
moro yarn than could find a cosh sale.—
Tho result, that the competition of tho spin
ners led them to offer credits to the weavers,
nnd this naturally led the latter into over
trading. Some of these weavers bnd from
forty to fifty looms, others less. and not con
tent with confining themselves to iho limits
of their own wulls, they extended their busi
ness, by lurntsliinp yam for out-door weavers,
that is, for those who have a' single loom in
their dwelling homes, and thus some ol them
would tako up ten or twelve, ot even sixteen
thousand dollar, in the course of the fnir
months for which the credit was allowed.—
Some of these out door weavers, too, finding
that credit was easily to be obtained, bIbo
bought yarn upon time,nnd by thus convert
ing themselves into master manufacturers,
took upon themselves the risk belonging to
tbo trade.”
The 4 Advocate” of the 20th states etao.
that “ The operations of a largo cotton spin
ning establishment near tho Gloho Mills, in
the Northern Liberties of tins city, wore eus-
pepned on tho 13Ui iuet ami tho persons
e’mployed. amounting to about four hundred,
discharged. We learn afro. that the pro
prietor of another large Cblahlislimr.nl in the.
vicinity ot Philadelphia- have notified their
hands, that a reduction o? wages, most be
submitted to or the works he suspended.”

We take the following article from the Nia
gara, Upper Canada. Herald, of June 18,
just as it Blands. A gentleman from Niaga
ra informs us. that there are circumstances
connected with the fiuding of the body, that
do away the belief, in a great measure, that
it is tho body of Morgan.—Buffalo Journal.
The remains of Jtlorgnn found.—Wo have
just been informed, in a manner to leave no
douht upon our minds, that the body of Wm
Morgan, so long the subject of newspaper
and legal investigation in tL : State of New
York, bas been found in the sand on the
beach neat Fort Niagara, by some Boldiers
of that garrisson. What more strongly for
ces the conviction that it is the body of the
ill fated Morgan, is, that some heavy weights
were found fastened to bis remains by a rope.
An inquest is to be held this day upon the
the body, the result of which is anxiously
looked for*
The Committee is deeply imp
a due sense of the great importance of the
subject, believing that a -strict observance
of tbo Sabbath day is asacre'd duty enjoined
upon us by divine comnfand. and that the cor
rect performance of this duty is calculated
(o lead to the moat beneficial and happy re
sults, cannot but view tho ordinance alluded
to as injurious in its effects, and destructive
of tlie best interests of the community in
which we live. *
That the Sabbath should be observed as a
day of rest, is a proposition which cannot, at
this day bo disputed. Religion commands
such observance, and independent of any di*
vine law, the wants of the labourer humani
(y to the servant, and even the interest of
(he master enforce such commaud. The
universal usage of civilized society sanctions
tho practice of withdrawing one day in se
ven from the'Common pursuits of business.
There Bhouhl then be some Btrong reason for
abolishing a custom, the propriety and ealu
tary influence of which, all members of a
community admit Tho advocates of the
present ordinance must of course rest theii
argument and conviction on tlie absolute ne
ceBsity ofsiich provisions qbit contains—al
though by some it lias been and may be
urged that the poorer class of white persona,
who generally recoive their weekly wages on
the evening of Saturday, necessarily require
a short time no Sunday morning to, procure
the usual food for their families, an argument
which cannot with a candid mind bear any
weight, so long as a public market is kept
open. The only serious ground upon which
the ordinance rests, is the necessity of afford
ing to (he slave population, inhabiting the
plantations adjacent to the city, an opportu
nity of selling and purchasing on the only dny
in the week on which they are not engaged
in their master’s work.* It is contended that
humanity, as well as policy, should prompt
us to extend to this class of people such priv
ileges as ore in fact, though not in letter,
extended to them by this ordinance. This
argument in fact has defeated every applies
tion. which has been hitherto made to repeal
this ordinance.
Tlie planters in Ihe vicinity of the city and
county have by their written agreement,
consented to allow a portion of iheir slaves to
visit the city of Savannah in weekly rotation,
in order to obviate the inconvenience nt pre
sent resulting from their trading on the Sab
bath day, provided the said ordinance bo re
pealed, and the present memorial is based on
this agreement of tlie planters.
Would it not now appear that the plea of
necessity which has been hitherto urged,
and with so much force and success, can no
longer bo supported. Bot if this, written, a-
greement of the planters thus deliberately
entered into, is not considered ns reasonably
obligatory on nil owners of slaves, and if it bo
even fenred, that opportunity of traffic on
some other day than Sunday, will not by all
be extondrd to their slaves, and even if it bo
further admitted that those people should
linvesomo day to trade,is it not worthy of con
sideration, whether Ihe right granted to the
shop-keepor under this ordinance, does not
in piactice. really work an injury to the slave
ns well as to the tnavtorf Is it not also pro
per lo inquire whether this body, a corpora
tion oeriving all its powers from Hie.Legisda
turp v shou’d pass and enforce a law, which in
spirit is calculated to defeat onoenadod by
the supremo.authority of tho State. These
considerations ^n tho view of the Committee
are of the first importance.
This ordinance allows to the shop-keepers,
principally retail Grocers and venders'of spi
rit nous L'.quors, tho right to keep open their
shops until the hour of nine o’clock, A. M
on Sunday. Admit that the negroes with
whom the traffic on Sunday morning is al
most entirely carried on, have teund a mar
ket for the products of their private labor,
and roecive the money with which to make
their purchases, what in’faitdo they gene
rally purchase at the shoptp More than onq’
half of their money is expended in ardent
spirits. Can any one doubt that tho chief
profit of the shop keeper on such occasions,
is derived,from the sale of liquor. Let him
walk the streets on Sunday morning, between
Iho hours of 8 and 9 o’clock, passing tho re*
tail shops, and ono month will not pass, be
fore he will 6ee nnd acknowledge the fact.
Examine, the infoimation docket - for any
number of years, and it presents to the eye
more iuh rmations and convictions for the of
fence of “Cntirtaii'ing negroes ou {Sunday”
after tbe.bour ol 9 o’clock,' A. M. than for
any other offence. .The temptation of the
shop keeper to continue trading after nine
o’clock, is great, so great is the-profit as to
enable him to carry on his business to advan
tag*- after paying occasionally a fine of five
or ten dollars and costs D^es it add to tho
comfort of the slave, eveu when ho is . pur
thi.Miig articles of clothing or provisions to
allow him the opportunity of purchasing Dnd
using to excess ardent Bpirits. Is not the
evil of selling them liquor and allowing them
to tipple at the shops greater than any bene
fit which results from ullowing them to traffic
on the Sunday morning.
But does not this ordinance afford to the
shop keeper a temptatipn, and an opportuni
ty to violate the act of the Legislature, which
declares that if any person shall keep open
tippling houses on the Sabbath day cr Sab
bath night, he or she shall be indicted and
on conviction sljftll be fined and imprisoned
nt tho discretion 4 of the Cmrft.—5f/i Sec. 9th
Division Penal Code l rince's Digest, 365.
A conviction on this {Statute occurred at
the last session of the Superior Court of
Chatham County, it having been decided by
the presiding Judge, as well ns by his two
immediate predecessors, that the ordinance
alluded to waB violative of the Law of the
State.
The .longer continuance of it is therefore
oppressive and unjust, since it lulls persons
into false ideas of security, and they uncon
sciously incur the penalties of a statute, con
sidered and decided by our Superior Court
as of paramount authority.
The Corporation allows the shop keeper
to keep open his shop, and although express
authority is not given to sell liquor, it is a
notorious fact that no one has ever been call
ed on by the Corporation to answer for the
offence of keeping open a tippling house be
fore nine o’clock, A. M. although they have
been constantly fined for doing so after that
hour. In the instances in which prosecutions
under the State law have been instituted,
the defencahas been in trulh a josiififcation-,
under the law of the Corporation, end this
defence has been successful, until (he last
term of the Superior CQurt of tho County.
Au ordinance which thus holds out the
temptation to violate a law of the State,
which is universally admitted to be a wise
and wholesome law should for ibis very rea-
son. if other reasons wore wanting, bo ex
punged from the Statute Book.
It ha£ been urged that if this ordinance is
repealed the shop keeps will remove into the
country, in the neighborhood of plantations,
anil carry on a trade with ibe negroes,' great
ly to the injury of their owners. -If any in
jury is to result from a shop in the country,
the same must result from a shop in town,
and while we admit the fact that iu both in*
stances injury will result, we say that the
Bhop«kceper in the country, can be effectu
ally broken up, by the enforcement of tbe
State Law, while tlie one in the city may
even yet, before an ordinary jury, justify his
acts ufider this ordinance.
. When p large and respectable number of
citizens apply for tbe repeal of tbis ordinance,
and when after the fact is n »torious, that this
memorial has been carried over the city, and
seen by many, no counter memorial is pre
sented, we incline to the opinion that this
measure iB desired by the majority of our
constituents, and even if we had doubsy of
the policy and propriety of-grunting their
request, we would be willing from respect to
their ppinipns, io boo by the repeal of the or'
dihance, whether good or evil would result.
But believing that this measure will prove
a benefit to tbe slave, as well as to the slave
holder, we are decidedly of opinion, that the
prayer of the petioners opght to bo granted

The Distress in England ~The ac
count received by Iho Silas Richards, repre
sent the sufferings of the poorer ctesscs in
Great. Britain as in no decree ribated. and
the general state of trade.as*ex'eedingly do
pressed. Emigration was increasing-— par
ticulnrly to th.* Canadas, the United Stales
and New Holliud. The following para
graphs from the Glasgow Free Press and Li
verpnql Chronicle, may Berve as a specimen
of ut^ny others which it would bo easy to
quote :
Glasgow, JTay 20.—The most desponding
accounts of the state of trade, still roach us
from all parts of England, and in to-day’s
shoot it will b.o seen that failures have again
commenced among the Country Banks. A*
the whole of this arises from the mad attempt
to raise a depreciated paper currencey to the
standard value of one of,gold, without at the
same timo reducing the public burdens in
corresponding proportion, it is now becoming
evident to every ouo that MiniBtcrs cannot
much longer persevoro’ in thus forcing ruin
upon tho honest, industrious, and enterpris
ing part of the nation. Either they must a-
gain let out the Small Notes, or tranafei to
the shoulders of the rich a vast amount nf
those taxes that pross upon the middling and
laboring classes of tbe community. Stand
still they cannot, and therefore the public
may look forward with confidence look for
ward to some important change at do great
distance.

Contempt » f Ciiun.».—We learn by a
statement h) John Ward, in tho St. Louis
Beecon of Moy*23 that he was called be
fore the Grand Jury during tho session of the
Circuit Court ill that District, and asked by
the foremnn, “ Do you know of any per
son betting nt faro in this county within the
latd year ?” Ward replied, 44 1 do.” The
foreman then requested him to name the
pei^-on, without- naming himself; which he
reuieed to do, saying he could not do so with
out implicating himself. The Court being
applied to, ordered Ward to answer, but he
still refusing, the Judge (Carr) ordered, on
the 26th of March, that he should be com*
milled for contempt of Court, and here
mamed in jail until the 14lh of April, when
he was brought again before tbe Grand Ju
ry. and asked! “ Have you ever seen John
C. Smith, or Dudley Kimball bet or play at a
faro bouk or table, in this county, ot any
time within the last year ?” To which Ward
replied, “ If I have seen any such gaming in
this county, at any time witbing tbe last year,
I was a party concerned, hoth as a belter
and*keeper of the tablo *, aud he refused to
mokoany other answer; whereupon the
Court ordered him to be 44 committed to jail
for thirty days ” and pay a floe of one hun
dred dollars,” nnd 44 stand committed until
the fine and costs be fully paid.”
Important from Colombia.—We learn
from the passengers w ho arrived this morning
iu the schooner Chatham, iu a very ghort
passage from Porto Cabello, that a short time
before (heir departure, a proclamation was
received from Bogota read in the streets of
Porto Cabello, stating that war had been
again declared by Colombia against Peru.—
A frigato and two sloops of war lyingat Por
to Cabello. and another frigato was expected
daily. The whole would be put into ser
vice as soon as provisions should be received
from the United States, which had been or
dered some time previous. The gentlemen
heard tho proclamation read, yet we cannot
but hope there is some mistake about (be
matter. N Y J nf Cqmmrse,
