A few extracts from Gov. Clinton’s Message, will
be found in our columns of to-day. There are a few
subjects of general interest to which he refers, and
upon which there is a free and unequivocal expres
sion of opinion. These subjects, d uring the pending
of a controversy with the general government, while
the issue was doubtful, were regarded as th© visionary
phantoms of a disturbed imagination, but are now ad
vocated by some who were disposed to maintain at
least an appearance of neutrality. The direct in
terest which the states have in the establishment of
this principle, has awakened a spirit of reflection that
is at Lar with those Axjdms of government which

The Foreign News.—The news 4t>m England
which we insert in the preceding!conSnns, continues
to be of that glo*my complexion it )ias borne for
some months past, nor does its variation appear to
be in immediate prospect.—Numerous arc the books
that have been written on “Political Economy,”
and in no country have more determin||d efforts been
made to obtain the, proposed benefits from practice
of the different systems, than in Enghnd; but not
withstanding, tlie tendency to distress and misery is
in no measure lessened, but, perhaps nther increas
ed. Every two or three years, confusion and con
sternation arises in their mercantile tnd manufac
turing’concerns, attended with riotinf, bloodshed,
and starvation, which they are unable ti avert; from
whence it may be inferred, either that Changes con
tinually are progressing that eventual!; render their
doctrines futile, or that they have wholly mistaken
the true foundations of social science! The latter
we conceive to be the fact, especiallyjn the parti
culars, first, of not properly estimatinj the conse
quences of an excessive power of ppduction at
tended by a constrained means of consimption, and,
second, the effect of unconnected individual opera
tions, resulting in what is called compmm,. The
full nature of this result we hold to be veij generally
misconceived, and we shall hereafter

TKe are informed by ihe last Milledge-
ville papers, that the Indians occupying that
part cf the State’s territory embraced
in the old, but not recognised by the
hgtv treaty, have arrested the progress of the
surveyors, by depriving them ofjkeir com
passes, and that a probable suspension G f
their labours will take place until protection
is afforded them. The Little Trince, by
whose^aijkl • ority these measures are said to
have been taken, is, we fear, backed by the
influence of the agent and iris cb-workers.
We had hoped that th^opposifioif which
has long been indulged,, but unsuccessfully,
with the view of thwarting the iqeasures of
the executive, had subsided. That settled
■purpose of hostility which has attended
every stage of exertion on the part of the
state to obtain possession of her just rights,
will cease only with the occupancy of the
soil. A determination to multiply embar
rassments, and add new difficulties to those
which Imve already been surmounted, will
give an imjSfetus to exertion, while opposi
tion afforifjfa ground for hope.—An express

Sjnces from the Same cause have not beenlimiteJto
ohm nor twice, though they bore no comparison in
degree, with those to which England has keen sub
ject ; while at the same time in these Southern states
no pressing inconvenienc'e has been felt, owing to
the greater compass of the separate household asso
ciations, and, consequently, an accumulation of
wealth serving for the reliance of greater numbers
than in societies where the social relations are dif
ferent. Hence, at all times, instances of that squa
lid poverty anil absolute 'destitution, are far more
rare than where personal independence, with indi
vidual competition, prevail. In these respects,
therefore, this peculiar feature of the Southern states
is certainly a political benefit, however great the
moral wrong; and we hesitate not to say, that un
der the guidance of a judicious and active man, the
condition of every individual in one of these domes
tic circles, might bo made enviable to three fourths
of the operative or labouring population in other
places.—In proportion as individuality exists in the
pursuits of life, the exertions of each for his sepa
rate interest must be increased, and in the effort to
obtain a preference for business or employment as
a means of subsistence, all regard for that of others
dispensed with; whence a contest is generated that
prostrates some,of the competitors, leaving thqfBt to
poverty, and the hard conditioned contribution of
their sendees to the conquerors.—Thus, or becoming
worse and worse as accelerating modes of produc

Hights of Wives.—A bill has been passed
through one of the houses of the Legislature
of Georgia, by a vote of 60 to 43, “ of ena
bling the husband, under any circumstance,
to dispose of his real estate, without consent
of the wife, as far as regards the rights of
dower or third.”
A Baltimore paper publishes it without
note or comment, judging, we suppose, that
the simple statement of the fact, would be
discreditable enough. But the New-York
Statesman republishes it, and appends to it
a string of contemptuous sneers and sar
casms—bitter enough for any purpose.
Now the whole story is news.to us. It
is not within our recollection just noWvthat
any bill was introduced, much less passed,
at the last session of our Legislature, con
taining such a provision as that referred to.
It is true that the dower law of this state
underwent some mpdifications which, we
k will be very generally considered to be
movements. Instead of having the right
toVdaim dower in .ail the real estate which
through t^ie hands of her husband
(witlJlttjt her relinquishment of dower) du
ring the wife, by the late act, is
entitled to 1 dower, in the real estate only
which she brought by marriage, into the pos
session qf her husband, and in that of which
he die! legally possessed. But this is not
all. When the' husband dies intestate and
without issue, the whole estate real and per
sonal Remaining, after the debts are pafd,
goes to the wife. >
We question very much whether,; the
statute book of New-York exhibits a pro
vision on this subject half so liberal as this.
We hope the^ New-York Statesman, for
whose special benefit we have taken the
trouble to write this article, will correct the
impression its notice of the subject is<cal
culated to make, and reserve its snees here
after for more appropriate occasions.

“ Elijah Mix, among others, had made

called |>n the Secretary of War, and asked
leave to read a letter which he had received
from Mix, dated November 2, 1825. When
he hid arrived in the reading, to that part

was evidence to show that Mr. Calhoun
