The Eastern question was in statu quo, but was generally regarded as settled. | Mr. Soule was at Paris, where he would re main a few days previous to proceeding to Mad rid. The screw steamer Tiuras sailed from Liver pool on Wednesday, for New York via Boston. Further per Steamer Asia. The foreign papers by the steamer Asia,which arrived at New York on Thursday night, from Liverpool the 27th ult., do not contain anything of greater importance than the following: The Eastern Question. —The following des patches caused considerable excitement, they be ing interpreted that the Russians had re-crossed the Pruth; which, however, does not appear to be the case. ‘lßucharest, Aug. 10.—Gen. Osten-Sacken, thecommander of the third corps of the Russian army, has crossed the Pruth with his forces.— Gen. Luders, who commands the sth corps, is still at Ismael. “Galatz, Aug. 12. —A Russian Commission has arrived at the Sulina mouth, to investigate the condition of the river, and to advise as to the means of making it navigable.” A report prevailed at Constantinople on the 11th, that a collision had taken place between Omar Pacha and the Russians on the Danube. Had there been any truth in this report it would ha ve reached us in a more authentic shape ere now. As usual, it is from Paris that we have the only information we possess respecting the pio gress of affairs. Correspondence from that capi tal states that the French government had re ceived despatches from Viennu, which are sur mised to contain the adhesion of the Porte, but only on the indispensable condition that the Danube Principalities shall be evacuated, before the Sultan will send an ambassador to the Czar. To meet this punctilio the Vienna conference had proposed a middle course, for the joint ac ceptance ot the Czar and Sultan. This proposal had been communicated from Vienna to Con stantinople and St. Petersburg, and some time must necessarily elapse before replies can be re ceived. Halil Pacha is mentioned as the intended En voy to St. Petersburg. From Constantinople, the general tone of cor respondence indicates that England is losing from day to day her credit, influence, and popu larity in the East, while France is gaining in the same proportion, from the firm attitude she has taken during the whole of these troubles. Servia. —We have some further accounts of the reported troubles in Servia, but the dates are not given clearly. Prince Alexander Karba georgewitsch bad left his capital, taking with him the archives of the State, &c,, and had re tired to Kragvvatch, a town in the mountains. He had, moreover, called out all the national militia, amounting to 40,000, and had appointed Knitshianin commander-in-chief, and publicly declared that he would repel any invasion, whether Austrian or Turkish. The Servians are divided into two parties—the partisans of the reigning Prince, and the supporters of the ex lamily of Obrenovich. England. —On the 24th, at Osborne, Mr. In gersoll delivered to the Queen ffiis letters of recall, and Mr. Buchanan was presented by the Earl of Clarendon. Three hundred and seventy railway laborers had been embarked at Southampton for Sydney, under contract to work for two years on the Sydney Railroad at five shillings sterling per day. They were accompanied by their ’’fami lies. - The Crops.— ln regard to the all important question of the grain crops, the advices are that in England wheat is short, but the quality good ; other small grains favorable ; the potato disease very partial. In Scotland, the crops generally good. Broken weather has visited Ireland, but the crops have not thus far suffered. In France the wheat crop is 25 per cent, short. Rye, bar ley and oats abundant. The south of Russia yields most favorably. In Holland and Italy the crops are decidedly short. The grain mar kets in Great Britain and France are all reported firmer and higher. There is much speculation going on, and money is sufficiently abundant to lend all necessary facilities to the operations. As the steamer sailed, the weather at Liverpool was rainy, w’ith high winds. Ireland. Archdeacon McCarron, parish priest of Waterside, Derry, died on Sunday 21st, while officiating at the altar. Engineers and valuators are to be immediate ly spread over the country, to take a new valu ation of the property as a basis for levying taxes, including the income tax. The receipts at the Dublin Exhibition are now close up to the paying point; 8,000 to 9000 visi tors is about the daily average. The Chanceller, Lord Campbell, had given a dinner to the tenantry on his newly acquired Irish estates Some of the English papers speak of it as “ the advent of a new era in Irish histo ry.” Franck. —There is quite a strong feeling among those who think as the Emperor is sup posed to do, on the subject of the Belgian matri monial alliance with Austria. An article in the Constitutionel, hints significantly that the natu ralbouudary of France is the Rhine. The ab sence of the French minister from the ceremony was noticed. The commission appointed by the Minister of Marine and Colonies to examine Erricson’s cal oric discovery, had arrived at Havre, an engine on the caloric principle being placed for trial in the works of M. Mazeline. The commission is presided over by M. Paris, a naval officer, who has made steam engines his special study. The Iphigenie, ship of war, 60 guns, is com missioned as flag-ship of the French West India and Gulf squadron. Sardinia. —The exemption of “ the brethren of the Christian Schools and Holy Family” from military service is revoked. The Marquis Andre Tagliacarne,first secretary of legation to Brussels, is named charge d’affaires and consul general at Washington. Spain. —The Espana publishes letters from MsniUe, of June 12, containing account! of the operations of Col. Mariano Oscariz in the sea of Jolo, against the pirates who infested its coasts. With the boats from his steamships, he killed eighty of the pirates, took two hundred prison ers, and liberated thirty-three Christians from slavery. Germany.—-A concession has been gianted for the formation of a bank at Weimar, with a capital of .£500,000 and the power to issue notes. Morocco. — Fighting in Morocco — Frauds in Tugis. —From Morocco, Aug. 9, it is announced that the Emperor’s forces had obtained a sigual advantage over the insurgents in the interor. Two of the rebel cheiefs had been captured, and were beheaded at Mequinez The Emperor was still sick, and had sent for his eldest son, who acts as Viceroy to return to the capital. London Market, Aug. 26— p. m. The corn market has been in a very excited state, and on Monday an advance on that day week of 4s. per qr. was obtained on English wheat, owing to large purchases for France and Holand, while foreign was quoted 2s. a 3s. dear er; last week’s average of English was 51s. Id., and 76 078 qrs. returned. The top price of English flour has been advanced to 555. per sack; but for American at over 305., there was very little demand, though 31s was made for 500 bbls. fine Baltimore. We quote American wheat 53s a 625; flour 28s 6d a 31s per bbl. Floating cargoes of wheat are held for very high prices. Nothing done in Indian corn. At to day’s market prices were Is a2s dearer for wheat; and U. S. flour sold from 30sa33s;the later price for fine Ohio. Cotton is quiet. Sales have been confined to 1,205 bales, without change in value. At Liv erpool a moderate demand has been freelv met by importers; yesterday middling Orleans was quoted at 6£ per lb. Burlington, Sept. B. Vermot Election—Re turns from 97 towns, being the most populous in the State, give Fairbanks. Whig, 10,200; Robin son, Democrat, 8,400; Brainprd, Freesoil, 3,500. The remaining towns will not alter the result. The Temperance Whigs voted for Robinson in large numbers. Ninety-six towns elect 49 Whigs, 37 Democrats, and 10 Freesoilers to the Legislature. The Whigs will probably have a majority. [ Second Despatch .] Boston, Sept. Bth.—The Atlas has received returns from 104 towns of Vermont, which give Fairbanks, Whig, 14,440; Robinson, Dem,. 12,- 230, and Brainard, Freesoiler, 4‘930. Senate probably Whig. To the House 64 Whigs, 59 Democrats, and 15 Freesoiles have been so far chosen. Boston, Sept. B.— Later from Rio. —The barque William G. Lewis has arrived here from Riode Janeiro, with dates to the 26th of July. Business steady. The coffee crop is short. Hol ders are very firm, and prices have further ad vanced. Not much disposition to sell at pre vious prices. Boston, Sept. B.— New Line of Steamers. — Train &c Co., of this city, contemplate building a line of screw steamers to run between here and Liverpool. For that purpose they have recently purchased a shipyard at Nepeusit. The vessels are to be of 2 and 3,000 tons. New Haven, Sept. 7.— Robbery at New Lon don —The jewelry store of Mr. Bridgam, at New London, Conn., was robbed last night of about $2,000 worth of merchandise" Philadelphia, Sept. B.— Trial of Bishop Doanc —The Court of Bishops re-assembled at Camden this morning. In reference to the motion of the respondent, the court decided that the paper prepared by the Diocese should not go on the journal. In reply to Bishop Doane’s request that the note of remonstrance prepared by the same com mittee should go on the journal, it was decided that it might. Bishop Doane then proceeded with his argu ment upon the motion to dismiss the present ment, but soon introduced an inquiry tending to the production of the original presentments. The Presiding Bishop said he never had them, that they were supposed to be among the papers of the late Bishop Chase. Bishop Doane pressed his demand for them. The Court, after a private deliberation, unani mously refused the motion, on the ground that this was not a Court of Record, and that the printed records of the former Court were in the hands of the respondent and might be offered in evidence. The respondent asked time to consider the course which he should pursue, but intimated that he might decline to go on at all before a Court which admitted itself not to be Court of Record. The Court then adjourned. Philadelphia, Sept. 9. —The court of Bish ops re-assembled at Camden this morning. Bishop Doane occupied the attention of the house till 1£ o’clock, with an able speech in sup port of his motion to dismiss the presentment, at which hour the court took a recess of half an hour, when the presenting Bishops will reply. The Court will then have to deliberate, and the question is not likely to be reached tillto-mor row. jSECOND DESPATCH ] Camden, Sept. 9. —After Bishop Doane had concluded his speech, which was of three hours, delation, Bishop Mcllvaine replied, and, with out concluding, the court adjourned. The vote on the question will hardly be reach ed before Monday. New York, Sept. B.— Steamboat Explosion — Murder. —The steamer Bay State, from Fall River for New York, burst her boiler this morn ing, severely scalding some dozen passengers, among whom were Mr. De Wolf, of Chicago, and Mr. Warren, of Dartmouth, Mass. No one was killed. The accident was caused by the caps of the cylinder flying off, driving the steam into the ladies cabin. TbesteameT Connecticut fortunately soon came alongside, took the pas sengers off, and brought them to the city. Four persons seriously injured, and taken to the hos pital—probably will die. Steamer left at Black Rock. A man named Wallace Parke was killed in a dance-house here last night by a person named John H. Holt, who was subsequently arrested. [Second Dispatch. | New York' Sept. B.—A steamer has been sent to the Bay State’s assistance. The scalded have been sent to the City Hospital, among whom are Mr. De Wolf and family, formerly of Bristol, R. Island. Among the slightly scald ed are Jno. G. Abbott, of Boston ; Mrs. George M. Wheeler, of Boston; Charlotte Snow, of Dart mouth ; Edwin Wilson, of New York, and Al mira Haven, of Fall River. The Charges Against Bishop Doane. —The following are the charges against Bishop Doane, of New Jersey, whose trial is now pending: 1. In contracting numerous and large debts beyond his means es payment, amounting in March, 1849, to| $280,000 his property bein o, not above $130,000. 2. In untruly stating that he gave up his property to meet a debt not personally to him self, but growing out of his venture for Christian education in St. Mary’s Hall and Burlington College. 3. In defrauding Michael Hays,of Burlington, by misapplying notes endorsed by him. 4. A similar charge of defrauding Joseph Deacon. 5. 6,7, 8,9, 10, 11, charges him with having obtained the names of Joseph Deacon and others to endorse his notes, by false representation, and offering notes without having property to meet I them. 12. In jeopardizing the property of his ward, George D. Winslow', by appropriating the same | to his use. 13. In defrauding the Camden Bank in the sum of SIOO, by inducing the cashier not to pro test a note, promising to send the money. • .| n raw mg checks upon Burlington and other banks, not having money therein to meet said checks. 15. In using undue solicitation to induce Sa rah C. Robardet to loan him $3,000. Obtaining books from HermanSHooper for a Parish .library, and misapplying the money collected lor that purpose. 17,18.

In procuring from Mrs. Lippincott a secu rity held by her, under promise of returning the same, which he failed to do. 21. Charging Bishop Doane with “ procuring one Michael Hays to endorse notes to the amount of more than a thousand dollars, for the accommodation of himself, in order that the said notes might be discounted, for which endorse ments he paid, or engaged to pay, said Michael Hays at an exorbitant rate, to wit: often at twenty per cent, per annum, in the several sums for which said notes were drawn, thereby viola ting the laws of New Jersey, when said en dorsements were made, becoming guilty of ursu ry himself, and inducing said Hays to incur equal guilt—all which was immoral, and unbe comirig a Bishop.” 26. In endeavoring to intimidate Joseph Deacon from taking proceedings against him, by doubling his fist,and using the words, “I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you.” 28. Charges him" with making an affidavit, purporting to give a full and true list of credi tors, whereas the said affidavit did not contain a full and perfect list—thus being guilty of a sin ful disregard ol the solemnities of an oath, and either deliberately swearing to what he knew to be untrue, or of rashly, hastily and unadvisedly swearing to what he did not know to be true. 31. In being repeatedly guilty of using spirit uous and intoxicating liquors, to a degree unbe coming a Bishop ; being intoxicated on board the steamboat Trenton, in November, 1851. [A charge of having been drunk in Borden-, town borough, in 1847, contained in the forego ing presentment, is not repeated ] 32. For paying usurious interest for the use of money. The Next Western Hog Croc.— We glean the following from the correspondence of the Cincinnati Price Current.: In Higginsport, Ohio, the present stock of hogs is one-fourth over that of last year. About Beardstown, Illinois, the hogs are fewer than last year, but of better quality. Feeders say pork will range from 3tos3 50 per cwt. There will be a large crop in Racine, Wisconsin. Fif ty per cent, will be added to last year’s product for Knox county, Illinois, and nearly that for ad joining counties ; 3 and 4 cents for pork is spo ken of next fall. Around Economy, Indiana, there are about one-fifth more hogs than last season, but not in as good order. There are more hogs in the vicinity of Gratis, Preble coun ty, Ohio, than last season, the quality not quite so good. In Boyle and ihe adjacent counties ol Kentucky, the number fattened will be larger. Six or eight counties about Lagrange will raise a third more, and the hogs will be large and well fattened. The State of Wisconsin is full of them, and pork will bring sf. Hogs about Graysvilie, 111. will exceed the crop of last season one lourth or one-third; 6,500 will be packed there next season, and will be 9 or 10 per cent, heavi er. In Waverly, Ohio, hogs number about the same, but are held 20 per cent less in weight. Tne crop about Dubuque, lowa, is 25 per cent, larger than last year’s. Rockport. 111., will turn of! one fourth more, or 800 to 1,000 more. [From the N. O. Picayune , Ith imt.\ Later from Texas. By the arrival of the steamship Perseverance Capt. Forbes, we have received dates from Gal veston to the 2d inst., and Indianola to the 30th ult. The yellow fever had made its appearance in Galveston, as the following resolution, published by the Board of Health on the 2d inst., will show : At a meeting of the Board of Health this morning, after hearing the reports of most of the practicing physicians iu the city, it was Resolved , That it be made known to the pub lic that the yellow fever exists in the city in a mild form, yielding readily to medical treatment, and that it is confined entirely to persons who are unacclimated. There had been but two deaths from yellow fever for the week ending August 27. As far as election returns have been received, Pease, for Governor, has a majority of upwards of 3,000 over Ochiltree, the next on the list, and i Dickson nearly 4,000 over Robertson for Lieu j tenant Governor. Kirby’s vote nearly equals Robertson’s. Bell’s majority over Scuiry is about 2,000. The amendment to the constitution is adopted, and the river bill defeated, by overwhelming i majorities. The Austin Gazette, of the 27th ulc., says a highly intelligent gentleman ol Gass county, now in that city, informs the editors that he has traveled recently over most of the northern and upper central counties of the State, and in all that region the crops of corn are most bountiful, and the cotton crop is promising beyond prece dent. He thinks corn this tall, in the counties alluded to, will scarcely command over a bit per bushel, and the yield of cotton will by far exceed, that of any former year. This will be gratifying news to emigrants. From Santa Fe. By the Western mail, which arrived at St. Louis on the 23th ult., letters and papers to the 30th of July were received from Santa Fe. We take the following from the intelligence pub lished in the St. Louis papers: The Gazette, of the 23d, gives this account of the accident to Lieut. Beale’s party : Information reached us a few days since from Lieut. Beaie, by Mr. Cosgrave, of his party, Mr. C. states that the party got on rapidly and well to Grand River, a distance ot 300 miles from Fort Massachusetts. They found the river very high, and the crossing bad, owing to the muddy condition of the valley bordering on the river, to the distance of some miles or more in width. This mud had been left by the receding of the river, and was half belly deep to a horse over the entire extent ol the valley; this made the process of digging a canoe, which had to be done in the mud and water, tedious and unpleasant. The work was, however, accomplished, and the crossing commenced, and the two first loads crossed in safety, but in crossing the third load, which contained nearly all the provisions and ammunition of the party, the canoe was cap sized, and everything turned into the river and lost, leaving barely enough to subsist the party . until they could send back to Taos for a new I supply. Seven ol the party returned to Taos, among them Mr. Riggs, banker, of Washington City ; a supply of provisions, &c., was obtained at Taos, and two ol the party with a Frenchman, whom they took back as a guide, returned to Lieut. Beale. Mr. Riggs, with three others, obtained an outfit at Taos, and took the Salt Lake route to California. This unfortunate accident will detain Lieut. Beale twenty or twenty-five days longer than he expected to be in reaching California. Mr. Cosgrave says the route from Fort Mas sachusetts to where they struck Grand River passed through a beautiful country, well watered and timbered, and lands susceptible of being set tled to a very considerable extent. He thinks the route entirely practicable for a railroad. Later from California. New York, Sept. 9. —The steamer Star of the West has arrived in 8 days from San Juan, bring ing San Francisco dates of August 16 600 pas sengers, $1,000,000 gold on freight, and $500,000 in the hands of passengers. The steamer Winfield Scott sailed from San Francisco an the 16th for Panama, with 400 passengers, the mails and $1,000,000 in gold, on freight. The Sierra Nevada alo sailyd on the 16Jh for Penama with 600 over passengers The U. S. frigate Columbia left San Juan ou Pensacola on August 31st. I he Hon. Solon Borland, Minister to Cental America, would proceed to Grenada on Sept. 3d. The specie by the Star of the West is con sigdne principally as follows : Duncan, Sherman & Co., $360,000 ; Burgoyne & Plume $200,000 ; Adams & Co., $215,000 ; Drexel & Co., $56,000, and various smaller amounts to different parties. She connected at Nicaragua with the Sierra Nevada, and received an addition of one million three hundred thousand dollars in gold to her freight. Haxa 1 flour was quoted at S2O. Galego at $22. Coffee firm ; pork quiet; beef heavy ; but ter and lard decling; cheese dull; rice firm ; lumber drooping. Ihe accounts from the mines are very favo rable. Jeremiah Jeffries, formerly of Boston, had been murdered at his ranche,near El Dorado. He was a member of Company H, Massachusetts volunteers, in the Mexican war. The mining and agricultural accounts were favorable. Not long since, the Warehousemen of Augus ta. struck for higher commission on the sale of cotton. Thsy were getting but 25 cts. per bale for selling, and they demanded 50 cts. We see from an advertisement in the Augusta Chronicle that they have retraced their steps, and now' declare their willingness to sell at 25 cents per bale, commission. We shallfnot comment up on this retraction, for we know not the reasons which have induced it; but we may observe in a general way, that it is a bad policy to take a Tv!f an< * en retreat from it. M y° u ever sell a bale of cotton, reader?— °- u i° r i We > but we have ‘’sampled” and weig e , and marked, and shipped many a one, and we have seen many a bale sold. We know, therefore that twenty-flVe cents commission is not a sufficient compensation for selling. If any body wants to know the perplexities of selling cotton, they need only attempt to dispose of a bale to one of these sharp, long-sighted specu lators, the day after an eighth decline is an nounced in the Liverpool market. We have heard speeches made over a lot of samples, that in the mouth of a lawyer, would have been valued at a hundred dollars at least; yet were housemen must make them far twenty-five cents a bale.— Sav.

See first page Daily, this morning. are requested to state that in publish ing the names ol the Committee, appointed by the Chair at the Democratic meeting in Burke? on the Gth inst., the name of Elton Hodge should have been omitted. The River. Great fears were entertained on Saturday night and Sunday, that we would experience another freshet, but we are happy to inform our distant readers,that we have 4 been spared so dire a calam ity. The river commenced falling yesterday morning, after reaching the heighth of about twenty, five feet above low water mark. It has fallen about live feet, and was still falling when we went to press. Great damage has, no doubt, been done to the crops on the lowlands, and to the Corn crop on Beach Island. Health of Mobile. On the Gth inst. there were 32 deaths, 27 by YellowJFever; on the 7th, 37 deaths, 29 by Yel low Fever; on the Bth, 45 deaths, 38 by Yellow Fever. Fine Tobacco. Our friend Gus. Volger, has sent us a sample of some Pancake Tobacco, received yesterday, from the celebrated manufactures, Stultz & Bar nard, which is a No. 1, article. This Tobacco is maufactured expressly for him, and the lovers of the weed, who are fond of a good article, would do well to give him an early call. New Works. We have received from Messrs. G. A. Oates & Bros., the following new works, just issued from the press of Messrs. Stringer & Townsend, New York. The Artist-Wife, and other Tales, by Mary Howitt. The announcement of the name of the author of this work, is a guarantee, that it is interesting. The History and Rudiments of Architecture, edited by John Bullock, editor of the American Artisan. This is said to be a practical work of great value. To the Architect, Draughts, Me ehanist, Engineer, and general Mechanic, it is of exceeding interest. The Chattanooga Advertiser, of the 10th inst., says : “ A torrent of water fell yesterday, which so Hooded the streets that plank and lumber of no slight dimensions were carried out of town, in the channels, and the corporation carts were nearly shipwrecked. Hogs had to swim the wa ter courses to save themselves from destruction, and had it not been tor several weighty considera tions, Chattanooga would have been among the > l things that were !” The same papersays: Hooke & French have received fourteen bales of cotton from the vicin ity of Tuscumbia, which is fifty miles west from Decatur. This is the commencement; and maik this fact, if the railroads and river will do the right thing this season, the cotton will in crease a third in quantity this year, which seeks the Atlantic seaboard ; and if the crop be equal to last year, it will be one-half more. Let the mutual effort be made, and no fear about business this winter. Weather, and Crops.— The Savannah Geor gian of the 11th instant, says: We published yesterday a very interesting letter from an intel ligent Cotton Planter in Liberty county, show ing the ill effects which have resulted from late heavy rains. We suppose the same effects have been produced, to a greater or less extent, all along the seaboard of Georgia. Yesterday and the day before this city was visited with frequent showers, but not heavy enough, we trust, to do much injury to the rice harvest, which has pro gressed very well so far. The rice crops on Sa vannah and Ogechee rivers promise, we are pleased to learn, an abundant pield. The Pecan Crop. —The Victoria (Texas) Advocate, of the 20th ult., says :—“ While the ordinary productions of the climate, such as corn, sugar and cotton, promise an abundant harvest* there is every indication, in this vicinity of a fine pecan crop. This is a crop which we can not calculate upon, oftener than every third year. Last season the crop was by no means universal—but was confined to a small portion of the trees. Should the remainder of the trees as present appearances indicate, produce a good crop, the yield will be abundant. (communicated.) Mr. Stephens in Burke—Abolition appoint ments, Pacific Railroad, &c. By appointment, the Hon. A. H. Stephens yesterday addressed the “ assembled intelligence” of the county of Burke. A 'considerable con course, in all, ladies, “ Citizens” and Democrats, some 200 or 200 were present. The old Praetorian Byrne, organized the meet ing by making a Presidnnt, Vice President and Secretary. Col. C. W. Young* of Scriven, and J. J. Jones, Esq., being on the field, were invited to enter the lists. Col. Y. for half an hour, Mr. S. an hour and quarter before dinner. Mr. J. an hour and a half, Mr. S. three-quarters again, and Col. Y. half an hour again, in conclusion after dinner i quite a liberal arrangement by the honorable gentleman. We have seen several synopses of Mr. Ste phens’ speeches at other places, and notwith standing our reliance upon your general charac ter for correctness, fullness and fairness, we had actually thought that, impelled by the spirit of party, you had looked at them through the big end of the political spyglass; that you or your cor respondents had rather been disposed to magnify than even do sheer justice to his political forays —hut actually when we adjust the telescope, magnify, bring near, look at them, they are irre solveable nebulae, vapor, fog, in which a micro scope would find no nucleus. After Col. 1 oung. Mr. Stephens look his text —■“ Shall we recede from the position we took in 1800 ? this is the question, the only question now before this people,” and after an incessant and unavailing fire for thirty minutes upon the Democracy, “Southern Rights,” and the issues of 1850, he again took his text and forthwith pitched into the present administration. “ I will tell you fellow-citizens the objections l have to Mr. Pierce’s administration.” First—He was elected President of the United States and instead of adhering to the policy of the Union, the policy of the inaugural, he was fomenting faction by “appointing abolitionists to office,’’ robbing the treasury, plundering the revenues to fatten the enemies of the country.” “ Look at the appointment of Dftc, the abolition ist, scarcely surpassed by Geddings himself in fanatical opposition to the South and her insti tutions.” “It will not do for gentlemen to re tort tfce arguments of newspapers in defence or apology for Dix’s abolitionism.” “Give me the proof ! n —“ shew me the evidence ” —“ give me substantial proof of his purification.” “ I’ll have no newspaper testimony !” Ah ! little did he know what sort of marge the little mortar be hind him contained. “Look at Vroom !” “Look at Malony!” these and their combinations occupied him awhile—repeated his text, left it as usual and drove into the defence of Mr. Jenkins on the Algerine law. Mr. S. neither endorsed nor de fended it as a principle, but rebutted the argu ment against it, by saying “Charles J. McDonald signed it—he must approve before he signs ; if he signs it, ti 3 approves it, if he does both, why Mr. Jenkins could do no worse.” “If McDonald would make a good Governor two years ago, he would now; if he wrould now, this being the only objection to Mr. Jenkins, he (Jenkins) would make as good a Governor now as McDonald would then”. This is the kind of circle he talks in and then tells us he has “ told as all about it.” He read a part of the law and with evident in tention evaded the only point Democracy makes against it in the present campaign. “While he told us it was a “local law” and met no obstacle in its passage through the Legisla ture,”he did not tell us, that it was Executive as well as Legislative usage, to pass and sign a vast majority of‘7ocaf” bills whenever it is clear that a “locality ” requires or demands them, as in this in stance doubtless it clearly appeared to Mr. Jen kins at Milledgeville, with the “memorial,” &c. before him. Mr. S. did not tell the “good, intel ligent and patriotic people of Burke,” that upon that sole and identical issue, a few years ago, Augusta, the very community in which Mr. Jenkins resides, the very people, his own con stituency, for whom this law was passed, actu ally beat him for the Legislature by electing Mr. G. W. Lamar. He did not tell us that the law, nor in reading did he read from the law, that it imposed a property qualification of one thousand dollars’ worth of real estate in the city, or payment of a twenty-live dollar tax in to the City Treasury, to enable a man to vote for -Aldermen—that poor men do not own SIOOO worth of city property, nor pay $25 tax es, but simply that it was a “distinct board.’’ elected by th e people to keep the fingers of the Common Council out of the pockets of the tax pay ing poor people.” Now, if Au gusta wants an Algarine law, a lo cal law to keep the “fingers of the Common Council” out of the poor folks’ pockets.as indivi duals, we have no objection—if they want a pre torian guard to rule over them or appoint their rulers, as individuals we have no objection—but when “conservative, republican (?) citizens” put before us a candidate for our suffrage, who not only has, but in the present electioneering canvas, before our face, tells us that he now a dopts and defends it as true, correct and republi can in principle, we will repudiate and reject him with all the energy, all the determination that moved the truly republican sires of the re volution to denounce that principle , when they declared and successfully established the contrary , that “taxation and representation go together.” Mr. Editor, this is the point; if as a principle (principles are eternal truths,) it will hold good for the municipality of Augusta, as a principle it will hold good for the whole State. If these be Mr. Jenkins’ ideas of free, enlightened and uni versal suffrage ; if his Executive policy be thus foreshadowed by his legislative, all he may re quire, if elected, will be the power to lay this or similar or even more odious restrictions upon the much loved “poor man’s” vote. This is the point, the thing we object to in Mr. Jenkins’ political history and philosophy. Mr. McDonald might sign the "local v bill, but never, never defend the principle upon which the Algerine law T is found ed. I did not intend saying so much, but by your permission I will go a little further. His second and insurmountable objection to President Pierce’s administration is “ the favor able countenance he presented to the great Pa cific Railway, he (the President) is in favor of the project.” His predicate is barely a surmise, the whole proposition absurd. His argument that “Jeff. Davis had foreshadowed the Execu tive opinion at a public dinner in New York, President Pierce setting by him, opened not his mouth.” Silence is concent. “ Members of Cabinets never thus committ hemselves, unless “by authority.” Having assumed the Execu tive favor as a fact, he most lamentably deplored the “ prodigal expenditures of the public moneys —the unconstitutional squander of one hundred millions of dollars,” &c., &c. That Presidents and Governors, although merely individuals, al ways stamped their impress on, and gave “ color to their administrations,” and more or less “swayed legislation according to their peculiar views.” All this is well enough, the right sort of talk ; but why did he not think and speak thus in urging the harmlessness of the principle in Mr. Jenkins’ Algerineism ? But enough of Mr. Stephens, he is intellectually able, and per sonally very bad looking, and herein conaists much of his power before the people. Mr. Jones, our had looking candidate, left the county the day before fcr the Kingston Mass Meeting, to baptise his blade in the boiling wa ters of the reunited democracy of the sth. But lest “ evil things might be said,” he returned and the next day at 8 or 9 in the morning receiv ed an invitation to participate in the debate; and when his hour arrived mounted,the restrum, and disclaiming the intention, gallantly measur ed arm and lance with the heroic defender of the principles (?) of “ conservative citizens ” of the Bth district. His friends, from his very recent nomination, thinking him unprepared, and knowing his youth, dreaded thn combat. But with a ehivalric bearing of a veteran knight, in a graceful, eulogistic exordium, saluted his expert and dangerous competitor, with vizor up, un sheathed his blade and plunged into the fight, and blow for blow, argument for argument (as tar as needed) in carte and tierce, he put them in, and when in that fatal spot between the sth and 6th, Jones thrust the Garvin Dix letter to the hilt, out dew the blood, down went the gallant Stephens’ blade, who reeling, almost “ cried help me Cassius!” Mr. Stephens called] loudly for “ that letter,” read it, turned it over, gazed a mo ment, and seeing his main gun spiked, with dra matic desperation raved, a wordless raving, lips compressed, his black eye flashing, made a tear ing demonstration, crumpled the letter vehe mently in his hand, and gesticulated as if to throw it to the ground and stamp it—but sud denly exclaimed, “ I won’t,” and whirling to Jones, “ Where is Vroom’s letter ?” “ Where is Maloney’s letter?” “ Where! all the letters from the other abolition vipers now warming in the bosom of Executive favor?” '‘You have not had time to get them \ Vroom is at Berlin j” “Maloney and others are too far to furnish lef ters just on the eve of an important election.” Jones early relieved the anxious apprehension of his many friends, pricked the ears of his political enemies, and set the Lion of Talliaferro. in a rage. He wanted to know if the baptism of the Compromise waters had healed the foul 1 and fungous ulcers of Webster, Fillmore and j Corwin, why not its conservative virtues be ex tended foDix? and even Vroom and Maloney. Madison (?) vetoed the Maysville Railroad bill —Jackson crushed and Tyler annihilated the U. S. Bank bill and it made no difference with him, what Mr. Jeff. Davis, what Mr. Guthrie shaddowed forth ; “ whenever presented tor his signature Gen. Frank Pierce would veto the great Pacific Railroad bill. Jones met him at every pass, behaved gallant ly and bore from the field unseathed;the stream ing banners of Johnson aud of Pierce. And when you hear him you will appreciate his fire and his metal, and when he has fought through half the fields contested by his polished competitor he will not prove an undermatch for any Knight who may be gerrymandered within the limits of the misguided Eighth.
