FOR tHE CONSTITUTIONALIST.
Loss in weight on Cotton shipped from
this place, has grown into an evil which de
•wands the serious attention of our Ware
; House merchants anil purchasers of Cot
ton. The cotton shippers ask for exact.
' strict and impartial justice. Then why fe
it, that the Charleston weights almost in
variably hold out in other markets, while
the. Augusta weights fall short, and tliat
this is a fact, every shipper of Cotton will
attest.--So general has this evil become,
that Cotton f rum this place cannot be sold j
in New-York without being reweigbetl—•
while Cotton from Charleston can be sold
at the marked weights, so uniformly cor
rect is their weighing.
The Cotton shippers have reason tocom
plaih when these facts daily come home to
- them.
JUSTICE.
Milledgeville, Nov. 15.
According to the 2d section of the 2d,
article of the Constitution of this State, as
r). amended, the returns of votes for Gover
nor were opened by tbc President of the
Senate and the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, in the presence of both
branches of the General Assembly, on the
9th inst. It appeared that George M.
Troup had 20,545 and John Clark 19,862
votes, giving a majority of 683 to G. M.
Troup, who was thereupon declared duly
elected Governor for the ensuing two years.
On the 10th, the Inauguration took place.
At 12 o’clock the Senate repaired to the
Representatives Hall. The Governor elect,
accompanied by our distinguished citizen
William 11. Crawford, the Committee of
f> Arrangement, the State House oilicers.
Judges, Solicitors, &c. entered soon after-
I wards. He was conducted to a seat provi -
ded for the occasion, between the President
of the Senate and the Speaker of the House
of Representatives. After a few moments
pause, he rose and addressed the Assembly
as follows:
Pel low-Citizens : I come once more, ami
probably for the last time, to present my
self before you and take the oath of office.—
Possessing no very great confidence in
my own qualifications for the public ser
vice, I have not habitually or pertinacious
ly sought the public favor. It has been ex
tended to me freely, frequently, and by the
people in a spirit of abundant kindness,
sometimes even in advance, always in a
degree far transcending my merits and de
serts. The late election by the people, ap
probatory of the former one by their Re
presentatives, inspires a belief that the acts
? of the administration have not been altoge
j ther censurable, and that the faults and er-
M rors which belong to them, being of the
® head, not of the heart, have, on that ac
s count, received a kind and indulgent judg
f t.pont. ,
Resolved, as I am, at all times, to do
what under the Constitution and the Laws
my judgment approves, it will be my conso
lation, in the midst of troubles and em
barrassments, that what is intended well,
will be well received .; and 'that if at the
end of our labors, aught shall have resulted
to the public of benefit or advantage, a due
I measure of praise and commendation will
be awarded. Taking different views of the
same subject honest differences ot opinion
are to be regarded with mutual deference
and respect. The utmost we can hope from
our deliberations<itnder free institutions is,
that the love of country predominating over
every other love, we will discard the parti
alities and prejudices which attach to men,
and forgetting the strifes and contentions
ot the clay, will unite in support of every
( measure proinotive of the public welfare.
\J To husband the resources of the slate—
to economise the public expenditure—to or
ganize a system of Internal Improvement—
to foster the institutions which direct the
public Education—to give vigor and effici
ency to the armed power to execute the
laws and defend the state against her ene
mies—to vindicate with firmness and dig
nity all her rights, but more especially to
assert practically those rights of sovereign
ty without which, Georgia would be inde
pendent only in name, and to cultivate har
mony between the different branches of the
government, will be.equally your duty, fel
low-citizens, as mine; and by cordial co
operation and patriotic efforts, I doubt not
we will ultimately find our reward in the
, (happiness and prosperity of the people.
, The oath ot office was then administered
—proclamation was made by the President
of the Senate in the usual form—the Sen
ate repaired to their Chamber—and both
Houses adjourned.
Su«ar and Colton—ln the West.—A new
species of Sugar-cane has been ..itroduced
into Louisiana. It has been traced to dif
ferent sources. Some say, that it was
transplanted from Jamaica, and to that
place, from Batavia, Others state that sis
or seven years ago Mr. Coiron of Terre
aux Bosufs, had obtained a few plants from
Georgia, where it had been a short time be
fore imported from the Philippine Islands.—
'But however uncertain its origin, its char
acter is very high. It is called the ribbon
(U*e. It is said to be very superior to anv
other species cultivated in Louisiana. It
grows wi'h such rapidity that the nut-grass
can do it no injury. It ripens one in >nth
before the other cane: cold weather does
not injure it. When thrown down by the
wind, it does not get sour. It is said to
grow nearly as well in old and exhausted
ground a* in new land. It yields 1500
Hounds of beautiful sugar per arpent, even
•o the month of September. The grain is
aid to be finer than of any other, raised in
Louisiana. Mr. E. Fortier calculates to
nake about 200 hhds. of sugar out of it this
year: and Mr. L. Labranche, who has the
principle merit in propagating this plant, j
expects to make 300 hhds. and to preserve
cane enough to plant about 250 arpents.
Cotton is thriving in the neighboring ter
ritory of Arkansas.—Mr. Vaugine, resi
ding on the Arkansas, picked on the Blh
October from one acre of ground (taken in
discriminately from a field of about 35 a
cres,) upwards ot eight hundred pounds of
seed cotton; & the same ground promised to
yield 2or 300 lbs. more. The same gen
tleman had in his garden a single volunteer .
stock ot cotton, on which were counted four
hundred and twenty bolts of cotton. —The
Arkansas Gazette of the 11th ult. from
which we copy these facts, states that not
withstanding the damage done by the ex
cessive drought, the crops on the most dis
tressed land would average froin 800 to 1000 i
lbs. to an acre—in other sections, from 1200 t
to 1500 lbs.—and in the county of Phil
' lips, the average would be from 1800 to 2000
lbs. As much cotton indeed was counted ,
on, as th p planters could find force to pick i
it out. Travellers from Alabama and some
1 of the contigious Cotton-growing States
. speak in high terms of the superiority of the
’ quality and quantity to the acre, raised up- 1
. on the soil of Arkansas. '
■ Richmond Compiler,
, A question, of new nature to us, arose
, lately at Cincinnati, between the Officers of
F Discount and Deposite of the Bank of the
, United States in that city, and Mr. Moa
. uis Moses. A bill, drawn upon the firm
of Moses & Jonas, of which he is one, at
t five days after sight, was presented for ac
; ceptance on Saturday, the Sabbath of the
i Hebrews to which persuations Mr. Moses
f belongs. He proposed to defer the accep
tance till the evening of that day, it being
1 contrary to his principles to write on the
. Sabbath day. This was considered as a re- 1
. fusal to accept, and the note was immedi
t ately sent to the Notary to note for non
. acceptance. It was, however, presented ;
. in the evniug, and was then accepted, and
. has been since paid.
, An elegant ship of 400 tons, to be called
i “ Talma, ” was to have been launched at
. New-York on the 12th instant. t
