COMMON SENSE TO EFFINGHAM.
Candid attention and common sense huvo been
requested by Effingham, for his remarks on tho Con-
ventions hold at Augusta. It is proposed to look at
them through those mediums. If in the examina
tion, Effingham should think ton much enndor is
exercised, he mu*t consider that the subject is of jn*
terest and importance to the whole South, and espe
cially to Suvannnh—tho city holding the most prom
inent natural advantages on tho southern coasti
suitable for commerce. Hence, even if ho hud not
himself nttomptod to divine the socrot springs of ao-
tion, it might not be improper to investigate closely,
those of him who assails a measure of such general
intorost. In accordance then, toilh common tente,
th- circumstances which gave rim to the Conventions
will bo slated, and ate as follow*:—Somo of the
Banks ef Savannah offered to dUcmint paper of
longer time than usual, to those homes, which ware,
or would engnge in tho Importing business—and this
was published in the Georgian, during tho winter
of 1836 and 1U37. On July 6th, 1837, a compara
tive vlow of tho trade of the North and Smith wn»
published in tho Georgian, and copied immediately
by other papers, In ami nut of the Slate. Tho Rich
mond Enquirer gave extract* of the atktLtice, and
calling public attention to tbpm, remarked, that Vir
ginia imported too little. The Washington Globe
nl.ro, ri-fi-rred to them with some remarks. On July
21#t, several wealthy and enterprising citizen* of
Athens, in nut- own State, and most of them o( the
Union party, had 11 nun-ling on tho subject, nnd ad
dressed a circular to citizens of the several Soutliurtt
nnd South-Western States, calling the first Conven.
tion. Here there can be no masked object, on tho
part of Smilh-Cnfnlinn politicians, for up to this
point, they had inudu no entrance upon the stage.
Affain, in accordance triih common-tenie, it is
asked, whether doviring thu mode nnd means of
promoting a direct trade, botwren the Southern
Stqtes and, Eurepa, L not a political, ns well as a
commercial subject 1 If so, may not the intelligence
And nid of-politicians, as well ns merchant*, be nu-
censnry for mature deliherution and offleient notion?
)Tnu may say,.tho otto to operate upon tho poople,
while the other did upon the prnduco and mcrolinn-
disc, and both lit preparing tho'(optical and com-
tpercial arrangement*, nenessary for the successful
issue.. Are not nil clnsso* nnd pursuit* interested ?
And again, in aecordance with common sense, it is
asked, what characters In this country, are usually
the forward nctors In overy public assembly, from
Cmigrosa down to tbo merest v)llitgo mooting? And
what difference, if nny, between tho.actors of thoso
aMcmblies, and the nctors at tho Convention held at
Augusta? Are not politicians and lawyer* tho usual
public spankers am) actors In ovnry American public
meeting? Due* Kffmglvim know, that the politi
cian* and lawyer* who took tho speaker's part in tho
Convention, delivered their own opinion* ond senti
ments, without the aid of tho merclmntii to finni
thosa opinions? If he docs not, he .can he informed
by members of tho Convention and Committee, thnt
the merchants nut only gave them verbnl, hut writ
ten data, for those •perches—and tho resolutions
which Gen. Hayne, ns Chnirmun, reported, were in
some grent degree, digested and arranged by mer
chants. The matters detailed In those resolution*,
had been, months before, subjects of conversation
and consultation hotwcon merchnnti and othors—all
Georgians, and probably all Union nien too. Thn
principal advocate of the resolutions, and speaker
In the Convention, was a Union man of Choriestoh;
and he premised hi* address, by saying, that ha
thought it proper to state, that ho was a Union man,
and had contondcd manfully in its cmiso, against the
reporter of the resolutions, and others of tho Con
vention. That thoir difference had been more in
the mode of nction, than in opinion as to tho effects
of tho acts of Congress 5 but thut in the proposed
objects of tbo Convention, they met and wont heart
and hand together; 1
Judge Longstreet, as a Georgian, opposed in po
litics, rose es the spenker scaled himsolf, Hnd greet-
ing the opinions and sentiment* expressed; stated
tho convention would, he hoped, provo tho grave
of aouthern dissension. It teems not,’/or Effing
ham'* " t*?»Cf U etillfor teat." Farther l—in ac
cordance with common tente^rif Charleston is dis
posed to concentrate tho business upon herself, is
alio wrong ia trying to do so?; Cannot Savannah
try too f Does not'Effingham'-^ry to engron all
thn business he can, or at much ai he, thinks he can
execute with effect ? Fow places, ns well as men,
I fear, can he found *0 disinterested, unless want
ing in proper energy, os, whilo laboring to eflVct a
measure, not to try in its caccutiiti to improve
their, own condition. It is true a d-Iegnte says,
the moat prominent of the Alabamians observed,
" that it seemed aa -if the Charletltnian*, from
their numbert, had come to take the whole trade}
while the Sovanniant, from their email number*,
eauld only watch them." Georgia and other atatt s
had dolegatea there to protect, if necessary, the
interests of their respective states. Were, not the
delegatus of Georgia competent to the task assigned
them? If thoy lacked, it was only in thnt admira
ble combination and concert of action which shows
Carolina, trAeneerr her intcreete are concerned,
acting ae one all going fur Carolina—all for
Cliarloatoni—and.it maybe added, all for the south.
She had her statesmen ind lawyer# aa well ni mer
chants there—her thinkers as"well as speakers—
every will and every tniad concentrated for the
good, fire1,-of Charleston,I South Carolina if road,
and the south l\m third, though not the latt. Ia
not this what Georgia would*wls)t and desire of her
citizens T And should not each citizen desire such
devotion for his own state t le CahUna expected
to act contrary to the principlee and feelinge im
planted iii curry human breast 1 .There were ob*
jeetipn* to Mr .-King as president—being neither a
merchant nor long a soutltcrnef—others were ex
pected to occupy, the. sesj,- And ‘were sought. Gen.
McDuffie'(not Gen. Hayne) nominated Mr. King.
Suppose ML King has booii injudicious in tha ap
pointments of committees; or 6ren carry tho sup
position so fur aa thut the appointment* wete made
to suit his own viowtr*why.then, Ae.shuuld have
been assailed, and not the objects of the convention.
Shull the interests of a whole country be sacrificed
because one titan .may have been injudicious, or
may have mode public ideas—probably not inte-
resfs—bend to lils private views? No one can bo
to much of a novice at. to expect tbo former of Ca
rolina, or approve the latter (aa Imagined) of Mr.
King. Why then should Effingham endeavor to
throw suspicion upon the movements of the com*
mercial conventions held at Augusta? Will not
tuck a course paralyse the moral effect of those
meetings upon the trade of the south f Ay. and
more too—embroil them again within themselves,
with one another, and with their northern brethren.
Thus much does the common sense of some of tho
people of Georgia answer to the question of Effing
ham. As yet »nm« candor is due to his remarks.

AUGUSTA CONVENTION, No. III.
In my Inst communication I examined the or
ganization of the Convemitn. I now propose to
take somo notice of the proceedings. And first ih
order is "the Report ofthe Committee or'31."
We have heard much of the transcendent talents of
thn Chairman; it has been a fruitful thome with
every one, until, like Olympian Jove, he has been
mode to bolievr, ibat without him thoro could be
no thunder. Y,
I will examine this wonderful production of "tho
best of hearts, and the best ofhoads."
I recollect having read, some four or five years
since, sundry llttlo Trade, which were called,
"Nullification Trade," nnd which, whatever might
havo been their paternity, were circulated with
great industry from the Palmetto groves of Stono
and John's Island, to tho Chestnut-covered hill* of
old Pendleton 1 were tluust into every house end ca
bin, from tho stagnant pools of Wacfiamaw. to the
sparkling water* of the Blue RMgo. My memory
is not very good, but it strikes me, thnt the princi
pal argumants of this wonderful report—I hnvo read
before;—thut a large part of it is a mere repetition
of thread bare tropes and figures, that havo former
ly danced thoir hour upon tho stage, and been de
cently inurned—but, it socmt, like unquiet ghosts,
they cannot be kept in their graves Again, on tho
waving of tho conjuror’s wand, they nro made to ap
pear, and—" Unequal action of the Federal Gov
ernment" Hundreds of millions of ret»«nu«
drawn from the South and expended at the North"
—" Colonial vassalage"—nnd " American Sys•
tem"—are made to sport before the eyes of the
morehnnts—God bless them—in all tha vgriod huos
end colors uf the Koleidescope.
But there nro some things which appearnrifinah
A Southern marine. I quote from tho report. "No
southern ( man can be lusonsiblo of tho vital impair
titnce of securing a Southern marine, which, in the
futiirer.hnngesnndchancos to which ourenuntry must
bo sooner or Inter exposed, may bo essential not on*
ly to our prosperity, but to our vary existence."—
In pence prepare for wur, 1* llie old mnxlm :—and
if this docs not calculate upon a rupture uf tha U*
nion, what docs it moan ?—Again, I quote from
the report," Now, con Anything ho conceived more
annntiiral—more out of tho tmutiland proper course
of business—than thnt our cotton, which i* to be ex-
rhonged for tlm manufactures of Knglund, should
be firet shipped to Nuw-York—there* sold to thu
New-York matchant—hy him transhipped and sont
to England, there to ho sold 11 ml converted into Bri
tish goods—which good* are to be first imported In
to Nuw-York, and from thence forwarded to Charles*
ton, there to be sold to the Carolina plitntof, and
paid for in hills nt 6 per cent." I sny, it would bn
unnntural if it were trod—but the picture hns no
resemblance to truth—nnd, with Its wont of truth,
nil tho cobwebs woven upon it must perish.
From thn 1st nf October to tho 7lh of April, of the
present season, the export of cotton from Charleston
to Great Britain, direct, 9 .* 89,544 bales*»-to New-
Ynrk, 20,411 bnlea—ond in.tho corresponding po-
Viod of hist year, tho export was to Grout Britain
(M.9QU boles—to New-Yorkoniy 7005 bales, a quan
tity not mure than required for thn Northern cotton
mills, who receive their supplies through New York.
The increase to Now-York tills season has been
occasioned hy tho unsettled state of the currency,
and the scarcity of European ships. The propure
tion of last yeur bears a close comparison with a
series of years. . -'
Those specimens of tho report, benr atnpl* evi
dunce of thn hand of tlie politiciun, laboring to ot-
liihlithhi* favorita theory, but not the least so vor of
the practical merchant, calculating with unpretend
ing seriousness, tho bast means of currying out his
pious, of buying in the cheapest market, aud selling
in tho dearest—of estimating tbo wants of a coun
try, and Ida ability to supply it.:
It is woll known, that thu great business of Sn<
vunnnh is a direct export trade with Liverpool, nnd,
l bcUovw, this trade was on a very satLfuctory basis
until tbo rovulsiun of last year, from whioh it liu*
already, in a groat measure, recovered. But the di
reel impart trade we have only been ublo to niunugu
III heavy articles. It Is this trade we feel the want
of—it is this trade that has rontered in Nuw-York.
Thu infinite assortment of all things uudur heaven,
necessary to make a country establishment of good*,
fitted to every want ofthe people, we have not been
able to rommnnd. Leading articles wn may im
port—but while New-Yotk and Philadelphia offord
supplies of overy thing, whether of necessity or of
fancy, front Japanese Coral, China Silks, IMtian
fans, Cashmere shawls, Turkey carpets, Russian
feathers, German laces, Dutch toys, Swiss muslins,
Italian fiddles, to the infinitissimal varieties, from
Franco and Grunt Britain, fur the present we must
be content to see our dealers go thurc fot apart of
tbeir supplies.
But can we do nothing to promote the commet*
dial importance ef our Southern citios ?-r-tn cncour*
ago a growing cummercc ?—to carry the produce to
market, and get our supplies directly from the ma
nufacturers ?' I answer, yes—but it is necessary to
go to work properly—to discard all this political
farngo—to let our merchants take the lead in the
business they most understand, and give them our
aid whore it can be made available.

BANK CONVENTION.
This body adjourned yesterday tine die, the Ma
ryland delegation having withdrawn on Saturday,’
and several other delegates returning to their homes
on the snmo day.
There wa* no difference of opinion In -regard to
the high obligation of the banka, to resume Specie
payments, the moment they could dn so with safety,
without apprehension of a second suspension, and
with a don regard to the business relations of the
whole countty. The only question agitated, related
to the naming ef a precise day, for a general re
sumption.
Now-York, not only from the requisitions of the
law, hut from ita own position and strength, desired
the shor.-est timo, and Mississippi the longest. Ori
ginally, four propositions wore informally enter
tained, naming the 10th of ?/Iay ensnings the 1st of
October, the 1st of January, and the 1st of April
next. " The committee reported in favor of the 1st
of October. - The New-Yerk delegates moved Jo
strike out the 1st of October, and insert'the 10th of
Mav. Tho ayes upon, this question were, New-
York, Indiana, Miasonri, Illinois and Mississippi.
The final vote, fi,r. naming the Is* 5!mday fn.Janu
ary for resuming, was as follow*:—Ayr#;- Maine,
Vermont; Massachusetts, Rhode'Islard/Connocti-
It is understood thnttKoNe\v Eng!rind .delegations
avowed themselves ready to resutno willi'Ncw'Yark,
provided they could be' satisfied .that 1t was best to
do so, irrespective ofthe situation of tho bonks ef
the south and west.' But of th’* frict tlwy were rut
•utlsfied—their opinion being that the business rela
tion of the whole country oughtfirst to be so fat ad
justed. ns to tumble tho banks of tho noion lordsume.
simultaneously.' Tile Connecticut delegates from
.lire first ovowril their readiness to resume with New
York, provided thebohksof thn latter would ri*»uro
them that their cltmosiuirs were tri be paid In s|»orie*
Tho fund* uf the Connecticut banks fo ing mostly In
Now York on deposite, they should of cohrse look
to th» New York banks for the mean I uf sustaining
their own resumption.
It Is not to be denied, however, that thn eastern
delegations were disposed rather to favor the views of
the Philadelphia end Baltimore hapks, than thqse of
New Yurk. In a free conversation with several of
those du?egat«t, they frankly avowed that their inter*
cals and sympathies were w-iihriii!ad«dphio and Bal
timore, for too roson that wldlp^ the course of tlio-
New York banks, during the yeur oust, hud in a
measure dosed New York against them as n mar
ket, the opposite policy of Philadelphia nnd Balti
more had opened those cities as markets for their
manufactures. '
Tito proposition that has been adopted,however,
does not fetter the operations of any' bunkwhatso
ever. • Any and all are at liberty to resume nt plea
sure, at any moment,' and without farther consul ra
tion with any. Those uf New-York, it will bo seen
by tho following proceedings, will resume, in obe
dience to the law ofthe State, on tho 10th of Muy.
New-York, April 16, 1838.
At a meeting of the delegates of the city and
countty banks of the Stato of New-York, lurid in th|s
city, this day, the following preamble and resolution
were unanimously adopted, and ordered tube'pub
lished t • .
" Whereas, the law which legalized tho suspen
sion of specie payments will expire hy its own lim
itation on thu 15th oF May next, and whereas the
effects of a resumption are considerations which
more property pertain 16 the Legislature thun to tho
bunks: therefore, without attempting to foresee
whai the effects mhV he, brit hoping that they may
not be injurious to the commerce and industry uf thu
state, and with a determination to render to those in
terests all the assistance which shall be found com
patible with a discharge uf our legal obligations—
Resolved, Thut the banks of this Stuto he re
commended to resume specie payments on or before
the 10th day of May next.

will not carry passengers. Sho is a bountiful -team

will he recollected, propelled’by Mr. Howard'* pn-
tool v*p«ir engines, of about 120 horse power, nnd
enn carry fifty data fuel at tiie same impression as a
Menm vessel ofthe common plan, of equal power
and tonnage, ran curry twelve days fuel. She will
ninko about 11 miles per linur. Wo Irave received
the following description of tho niuidiiqrtyof 'this
vessel, from a corrsspondeiitt—" This steiimrr dif
fer* from nil others, hnvipg literally no boiler; die
hns steam gem-rotors, in which water in small qunn*
lidos is made to drop from nn orifice, on n heuted
plate, which rests upon a stratum of mercury, about
three indie* nnd n half thick, which is hunted up to
thu temperature .of threo or four hundred degrees,'
‘by means of a fire underneath. The rost of the on-
giuu is similar to. the common low pressure unginus,
except that the cool water cistern is kept cool hy
the mean's of pipes uf cold salt water running
through it It is originally filled with fresh water.
«o that tho evil uf wring salt water for cumin mutton,
is avoided. The foul burnt Is coke nnd stone cal,'
und ilia vessel will carry sufficient for 50duys con
sumption. Tho vessel steamed th« whole of the
way from London, and frequently nttnim-d a aped
of 11 knots per hour. Such is the construction of
this vessel J nnd it miistbe acknowledged, thn .grout
advantages, evon for short voyages, are obtained by
the use nf machinery occupying solittlu room as this
docs. I nm told, however, that b is found extremely
difficult to keep tho joints of tbo vessel containing
tho mercury, perfectly tight, arid that the effect bus
been, seriously to affect tho health of tho men em
ployed. It appears to me, however, that some sub-
•lUutu for this volatile and dangerous metal, might
bo employed—say Nowton’s fusible metal, which
malts at 200 deg. and which is not art'all volathr."
Staik — 1 The intelligence from this unhappy king
dom is ominous for the hope of Don Carlos.- His
pBrtlzrin generals hnve been defeated at several

In the Senate, to-day, several' memorial* were
presented against the execution of the New Ecbota
treaty, for the removal of the Cherokee*.
The joint resolution for tho adjournment of Con
gress on the 4th of Juno, which ,wn* ’yesterday or
dered to a third reading, by a vote of about two to
one', was taken.up and .reud a third time.
■ Mr Grundy then moved t j postpone it till -Mon
day week.'
Mr. Preston opposed this as unnecessary, inns-
much n* It was quite certain thnt the Senate, hoforo
the 4th of June, would conclude its business; und ns
to the House, they would nl*u-du«pnt«*h their* with
in that time, ns they had determined not to- discos*
the sab-trensury bill.
Mr. Calhoun said, thnt after reviewing the state
of .the business of bath House#,ho was of opinion
(hat the.resolution ought not to paw.
Mr. .King was In favor Of tlm postponement. He.
feared,’ he *atd,'that fbo immediute passage v of the
resolution Wru a gome of the opposition to bring thp
session to a close, for the purpose nf choking off tho
independent treasury hill before tbo House. The
vote wria taken, and the resoluHnti was postponed to

character. Hu would not defend the cbur*rnf:Mr«
