WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 20. (Cj* The Northern mail failed again last night. It* punctual arrivals are now go seldom that it may become proper, in future, for us no longer to notice its failures, but its arrivals. We are gratified to learn, by private informa tion from Milledgeville, that there is but little prospect of any such harsh and ruinous steps being taken against the Banks, as the resolutions of Mr. Lewis proposed. Better counsels begin to prevail; and the mad spirit of disorganization which animates a few, will be effectually checked by the more dispassionate judgement of the ma jority. If nothing else can stay their destructive hands, a sense of the injuries that must flow to the people from so rash an act, will no doubt have its proper weight. Those injuries are too manifest to be mistaken by intelligent men, and too ruinous not to be feared and if possible avoided. Public Meeting. At a large and respectable Meeting of the citi zens of Augusta, holden in pursuance of public notice, at the Masonic Hall, on Tuesday, the 19th of November, 1839, Col. Jon* McKinnb, was called to the Chair, and George W, Lamar, Esq., appointed Secretary. The Chairman stated the object of the meet ing to be, to take into consideration the services of his honor the Mayor, during the past season. On motion of Win. T, Gould, Esq., it was Resolved, That a committee of five be appoint ed by the Chair, to prepare and report to this meeting, resolutions suited to the occasion. The Chairman appointed as that committee Wm. T. Gould, Amory Sibley, Adam John 's ston, Benj, H. Warren, and Philip Crump, Who after a short absence reported the follow ing resolutions, which were unanimously adopt ed. Resolved, That the services of the Honorable Alfred Gumming, Mayor of our city—the untiring Zeal and fearless energy, with which ho h«o dis charged the arduous duties of his office, during the late epidemic—are duly and fully appreciated by this meeting. Resolved, That those services richly merit our warmest thanks, and the lasting gratitude of the community, , And whereas. It is understood that the Mayor has tendered to the City Council a resignation of his present office. Resolved, That past experience gives us every reason to confide in the Honorable Alfred Gum ming, as the chief Executive officer of the city, and that he be most earnestly and respectfully re quested to withdraw his resignation. Resolved, That the Chairman transmit to Mr. Gumming, a copy of (he foregoing resolutions, ■igned by himself and the Secretary, Resolved, That a committee, consisting of the Chairman of this meeting, and three others from each Ward of the city, to be nominated by him, be authorized to procure, by voluntary subscip lion, some suitable testimonial of public gratitude, and to present the same to the Honorable Alfred Gumming, in the name of the citizens of Augus a. On motion of T. S. Metcalf, Esq., it was • Resolved, That the proceedings of this meet ing be published in all the papers of this city. And the meeting adjourned. JOHN McKINNE, Chairman. George W.

Milledgeville, Nov. 16, 1839. In Senate. Mr. Kennon moved to reconsider the journal o r yesterday, so far as relates to the rejection of the bill conferring upon the City Council of Co lumbus, the right to sell or loan water privileges —the Senate reconsidered. The bill to repeal an act entitled “an act for the organization of the office of Adjutant General of Georgia,” was taken up, and lost by a majori ty of ten. Mr. Springer reported a bill to incorporate the Memphis Branch Railroad and Steamboat Com pany of Georgia. Mr. Gordon reported the two following bills. A bill to authorize the sale of scrip, certificates of State debt, and to enlarge the duties of the comtnissoners of the Western and Atlantic Rail road, and also to make further provision for the completion of said Railroad. And a bill to amend the act incorporating the Central Bank, and to extend its charter and ap propriate money, and to increase its capital. (Three hundred and ten copies of each of these the bills printed.) Mr. Miller reported a bill to amend the several acts in relation to the city of Augusta. dills passed. To make permanent the county site for the county of Chattooga, at the town of Summer ville, and to incorporate it. To repeal the Bth section of an act, changing the name of Lewis M. Leroy, to that of Lewis Trucklin. To establish an election precinct in the county of Baker, (with an amendment.) There was considerable discussion on the bill to alter the 3d, 7th, and 12th sections of the Ist and 2d articles of the Constitution, and after some amendments, it was recommitted. lir House op Representatives. Nov. 16, 1839. The bill to organize a new county from those of Cass, Murray, Floyd and Chattooga, was made the special order of Thursday next. BILLS PASSED. To appropriate a sum of money to pay off the claims of certain Volunteer Companies, who were not compensated under the act passed at the last session.

DILLS LOST. To add a part of the county of Hall, to tie county of Lumpkin—laid on the table for the balance of the session. A bill to lay out and organize a new county from the counties of Talbot and Crawford. Monday, November 18. There has been nothing before either house of much importance this morning, for final action; but much new and some important matter has been introduced in both branches. The weather is charming, and I think that the General Assem bly have this morning felt its influence, and are inspirited to a prompt discharge of their duties. How long the excitement may survive this mor ning’s freshness is however conjectural and uncer tain. Appointment bt thl; President. —Joseph McCants of Florida, to be Secretary in and for the Territory of Florida, in the place of John P. Duval. Missouri and lowa. —The dispute between these powers seems to have arisen from some mis understanding about a term—not the flrit time that parties have quarreled over a word. The northern boundary of Missouri runs along the rapids of the Des Moines—this is admitted on both sides. But there are rapids in the Des Moines river, and also in the Mississippi, just lie low the mouth of the Des Moines, and both are called by the same name. Hence the difficulty— Missouri claims the higher rapids in the Des Moines as the true limit—lowa looks further south, and insists upon the lower mark. It is much to be regretted that force should lie resorted to by either party tosetllea matter which negociation might easily accommodate, and which must be determined by such means at last. Af ter stirring up bad passions, and fixing hostile sentiments mutually in the minds of the dispu tants, arbitration must come in to decide lictween them—a thing which could be done now as well assume months lienee. With the merits of the question we have nothing to do. If one is right and the other wrong, or if both are wrong, which is the most likely supposition, the appointment of commissioners to inspect the ground and to consult papers, might soon remove all feelings of jealousy, and prevent further misunderstandings. We live in an age which will baldly sympathise with hostile measures when other means of deci ding controversies are at hand. Fi ;htmg for its own sake may he left to the beasts, who have not •‘discourse u( reason.” Glory is not to be gained now by .he breaking of heads; and sensible people are willing to acknow ledge that if discretion is not the better part of valor, it is valor’s best guide.— Ball. American. Smuggling—lmportation r Mobus Mul* ticaulib. — The Philadelphia U. Slates Gazette states that the ship Noble, at New York from Leghorn, brought out a large quantity of Morus Multicauli* trees, evidently for the purpose of c | aiding the silk business of (lie country, because . while the mm were lifting these trees from the B hoM of (he ship, some of the bundles broke open, and several pounds of good Italian sewing silk rolled from them. On opening some of the oth s cr bundles of trees, it was found that they were equally fruitful. The duly on sewing silks is 40 per cent on cost, and the sales have, we believe, been about at $lO per pound. a. _ - It is well known that Mr. O'Connell has used I all the political influence which he is known to possess with the present Whig ministry of Eng land, to prevent that nation from recognising the ■ independence of Texas; and that to make this • opposition more available, lie lias essayed to en list the fanatical or anti-slavery feelings of the English people on his side, and has even propos i ed that a free negro colony be established on the confines of Texas, as a means of checking the institution of domestic slavery which now pre vails there, and in the Southern States, and of finally aiding in its abolishment. William Kennedy, the author of the follow ing letter, has taken up the gauntlet thrown down by Mr. O’Connel!, and with what success our readers will see. He is favorably known in England as an author, and was utlached to the embassy or suite of Lord Durham, when Govern or General of Canada. Ho afterwards took a tour through Texas and the United States, in both of which place* bis liberal views, on seve ral occasions met with the approval of our citi zens.—Picayune. Texas.—Mr. O’Connell. The following letter, addressed to Joseph Slurge, in answer to one from Mr. O’Connell to that gentlemen, which first appeared j n The Morning Chronicle, is from Mr. Win. Kennedy," one of the proprietors of The Hull Advertiser, who, we believe, has recently returned from Tex as; and is copied trom the number of that paper, of the 6lh Sept.:— “TO JOSEPH STURGE, ESQ,. “Sin,—Permit an Englishman, and a recent traveller in Texas, to submit to you a few dispas sionate remarks on the subject of Mr. O’Connell’s letter of the 26th August, which is going the round of the English newspapers. A publica tion more replete with mistatements of fart, ami erroneous assumptions, or more mischievous in its tendency, has been seldom laid before the pub lie. “Mt. O'Connell insists, as a preliminary to the recognition of Texas by the British Government, that tlie Republic * consent that the slave trade shall he deemed and treated as piracy.’ Now, what is the fact? A copy of The Text an Con stitution, printed at Houston, is in my possession and, by an article in that document, the slave trade is emphatically prohibited, under the pen alty affixed to piracy. It is true, that the plan ters of the Southern States, divided by the Sa bine river from Texas, arc permitted, as settlers, to bring their slaves into the country; but the re moval to a more productive soil nnJ t.oulihetr cli mate operate* favourably for the Negro, who en joys a much larger portion of physical comfort than the unfortunate peasantry oflreland, or the overtasked population of our manufacturing dis-' tricts. “ The ‘ assent of Mexico’ is also demanded by Mr. O’Connell, as a condition preliminary to the recognition of Texas. After the rejection of the overtures made by Texas, in May last, for the peaceful adjustment of differences, there is, I im agine, only one way of obtaining this assent— namely, by force of arms, —to which theTexians have no wish to resort, provided they are left un molested. Should they, however, lie driven to adopt this course, persons acquainted with their superiority over the motley and semi-harbarous population of Mexico, cannot entertain a doubt as to their ultimate ascendancy. “ It is impossible to surmise on what portion of the Mexican territory Mr. O’Connell would locate his colony of free men ofcolour. He speaks . of placing it between the Texians and the sea; hut, if he will examine a good map, he will discover that the seaboard, from the Sabine to the Rio i Grande, is occupied by the Texians; and, further, if he will make due inquiries, he will also find, that towns have been built by this enterprising and intelligent people, and that a small, Iml elli ■ cient navy, commanded by an able officer, trained in the excellent service of the United States, cruises in the Gulf of Mexico for their protection. “The gang of land pirates,’ says Mr. O’Cnn* ■ nell, ‘who have settled themselves on the Mexi can territory, actually make Negro slavery the ba sis of their association, and propose to take away from their intended Legislature the power of aho -1 fishing domestic slavery.’ Foul names prove r nothing. If the worst allegation of Mexico and . its partizans against the Texians were admitted, their offence would be of no darker hue than the occupation of Hindostan by the East India Com pany. But the treatment which they received 1 from Mexico and its military despots fully justi fied them in striking lor independence; which ! they did with reluctance, and only for the protec ! tion of the rights guaranteed to them by the Mex ! ican Constitution of 1824. Negro slavery was 1 not the basis of the association of Texian settlors; 5 hut, population being essential to the very exis tence of the State, American planters were rcceiv ’ ed on the only terms that could induce them to ■ transfer their capital to the soil. As to the ‘in * tended Legislature,’ it has been a reality since r 183 C; and its enactments, for the advancement of education, end the security of persons and proper ’ ty, arc, in the highest degree, creditable to its 1 wisdom and public spirit. The laws regarding * slavery are similar to those of the United States ■ where Congress is destitute of the power of legis -2 lating on the subject. “ Mr. O’Connell talks of 1 permitting the Tex -1 ians to succeed in their odious scheme.’ Their I independence has ceased to he a question ot per- B mission. It has been recognized by the United 1 Slates, who have a Minister at the capital, and 1 Consuls at the seafiorU. The Republic will he 1 speedily recognized liy France; and its non-recog. ‘ nition by England, while it may affect its credit ' as a new country, for a time, will operate still • more injuriously on our commercial interests, 1 which are intimately interwoven with its prosper ■ *iy “ I cannot believe, that Mr. O’Connell could - have entertained ‘a very high opinion’ of .Santa J. Anna, if he had known much of his character and ’ * Mr. Kennedy is the gentleman who went nut f with Lord Durham to > anada, as bis Private .Secre ■ary. He is a native of county Tyrone, and was educated at tile Belfast Academical Institution. At subsequent periods, he was editor of the Paisley t Advertiser,Salisbury and Wiltshire Advertiser,and . Hull Advertiser. He is also favorably known in , fi |e wond of Letters, as the author of “ The Arrow , and Hie Rose,” “ Ned Bolton,” and other popular poems.— Whig. proceedings. An unprincipled intriguer, ho has veered through all points of the political compass, his master motive being sell-aggrandizement. He abolished the federal Constitution of Mexico, and phiccd himself at the head of a party whose instruments of rule are superstition and the sword. With 4,000 Mexicans, he, after a protracted siege and with a loss of 1,500, succeeded in storming the fort of the Alamo; defended by 140 Texians, not one of whom received quarter. When the body of Major Evans, oftheTexian artillery, was pointed out to Santa Anna, he drew hisdirk, and stabbed it twice in the breast. On another oc, a sioa, in contempt of a treaty signed by his Gen eral, IJrrea, he massacred 400 Texian prisoners, in cold blood. And it is under the auspices of such a man, that humanity is invited to foster its pro jects, and to denounce a people, who, after these acts of atrocity, having defeated and captured him at San Jacinto, generously granted him both life and liberty! “Compare the inhabitants of Texas and Mex ico,—the former of the Anglo-Saxon race, the civ ilizcrs of the world; the latter, a mixture ofSpan eb Creoles, Mulnttoes, Mestizoes, aboriginal In- ! dians, Negroes, and Zamhoes,—the offspring of Negroes and Indians. Education, rational reli- { gion, commerce, agriculture, and free institutions, hare found a congenial soil in Texas; in Mexico, I they arc stifled by the grossest ignorance and su- : perstitinn. Charles Joseph Latrolie, an unexcep- , tfinable authority, in his -Rumbles in Mexico,' thus describes the state ofthecountry :—‘Noone who has ever spent a month in Mexico, will pre tend to say, that its present state is fluttering to the advocates of Republicanism. Ho detects want of system—want of public und private faith —want of legitimate means of carrying on the Government, of enforcing the laws, of maintaining ! order—total absence of patriotism—general igno rance—indifference to the value of education, lin ked to overwhelming arrogance and pride—an in credible absence of men of either natural or ac quired talent of any description—and intolerant support of the darkest bigotry and superstition. The meanest partisanship stands in the place of patriotism. The Government of the moment has not the power of effectually governing. Avon if it hnd the desire. No party is trusted—no man in she country can command even the respect, much less the co-operation, of all. Why ! Because self-seeking and aggrandizement arc the purpose of all. They vapour about patriotism, and know not the signification of the word.’ To illustrate the conditon of the Mexicans, as regards religion, Mr. Latrobe mentions, that he hud beard as a fact, that two English dray horses, imported in Vera Cruz, were {Milted with stones, and execrated as heretical, by the populace, who would not permit their owner to use them, until they had been brought to a certain church, and there baptized by the • 'ura ? “The settlers of Texas are of British origin— speaking the English language, and under the in fluence of English common law. The advances they have made already show them to he worthy of occupying one of the most beautiful and pro ductive countries on the face of the globe.— Towns are rising up, as if tty magic—steamboats are plying on the waters—newspapers are publish ed wherever readers can be found—corporations arc. in successfu' operation—railroads projected— shipments of cotton mode direct, to Liverpool— amt society rapidly assuming the orderly and en livening aspect which it wears in ancient and flourishing communities. An Englishman who ■ has formed a commercial establishment at Mata gorda, in Texas, informed ra«, that, ‘in a com mercial point of view, it would lie for the advan tage of Great Britain to acknowledge the inde pendence of this young and thriving Republic, without delay* as it would, in a few years, be of more importance to England than the U. Stales.’ Not only would it supply our market with cotton of the best quality, and lake our manufactures in return, but it would, by abolishing all import du ties, and establishing complete freedom of trade, —as the leading citizens desire and design to do, —effect a revolution in the commercial systems of the neighboring nations. The politicaradvanta ges that would result from the establishment of an independent power, friendly to Great Britain, on the southern flank of the United States, will not be overlooked by those who are capable of estimating the great and growing resources, and restless energy, of that Republic. “If reason be substituted for wild and passion ate declamation, it will appear, that the scheme propounded by Mr. O’Connell is both unjust and impracticable—unjust, because we have no right to intermeddle in the internal affairs of other States; and utterly impracticable, because, if Texas were unable to resist the meditated inter ference, it would never be permitted by the Uni ted States, by whom any such plan of colonizing would be regarded as a blow directed against themselves. I would refer those who may be dis posed to question, the latter assertion, to the de bates on the subject of slavery, during the last session of Congress. “The adoption of Mr. O’Connell’s views would not benefit the negroes, but would render more remote the period of thei- emancipation; it would alienate a people favorable to England and to her interests—it would promote the designs of France, which casts a covetous eye towards Mexico—and it would retard the progress of civilization in countries blessed by. nature, but cursed by a sys tem of rule, founded on the cast-off superstitions and tyrannies of Europe. And, whether the British Government recognize the independence of Texas now or hcruaftor, the interests of our commerce wilt, ere tong, render it necessary to adopt that step; to delay which, is to deprive the »ct of its grace, and ourselves of much ofthe ad vantage that would accrue from it. Texas wilb in a few years, abound in all the elements ol power; and, ware it driven to extremity while comparatively weak, it might, perhaps, lie added to the United States, hut under Mexican or Eu ropean sway it will never fall. If it were added to the ctuoes, a war with Enngland would pro bably I w followed by the conquest of Mexico ami British North America; and England would' re pent, urban, too late, of a policy which had fur nished now arms to that gigantic democracy, whose colossal growth is already contemplated with alarm, by the most sagacious cabinets ol Europe “ It cannot be too,strongly impressed upon the minds of those who labor for the freedom and el evation of the Negro, that the Anglo-Saxon Ke , yriftilir.isß« of America may be influenced by per | suuHivr*argument, but will yield nothing whatever to violence and threats. The cause of emanci pation fcn» retrograded in the United Slates, ow ing to the intemperate zeal of the Northern Abo litionists. In many respects, the situation of the slave-holding planters is too unhappy, to justify >tlie odium usually, attached to those who arc so unfortunate as to have a right es property in their fellow-creatures. If properly addressed, they rea •dily admit that slavery is a grievous evil, hut ihoy dread- Emancipation as pregnant with evils yet more formidable. In my opinion, then, the true course for English philanthropy to pursue is, to work cut; steadily and vigorously, the experi nieat in process of trial in the West India tsl -1 ands. Let us act upon the Americana by pro s cept and example, and not disturb their peace, ■» and awaken their animosity, by indigested prop ~ agandism, contrary to the usages of nations, which might ho retaliated with interest upon our a Let us prove, by our administration of - the West India colonies, tnat the African race b has been slandered by those who pronounce the * i incapable of reaching the average stand , | ard of civilization. Wheneversound morals, ed -5 i oration, and well-applied industry, are found to s | characterize the communities ofthe people of col i or ' in the VV est India islands, slavery on the American continent will die a natural death. In tire mean lime, its extinction will not be produced i by preaching a crusade against Texas.

The peo ple ot the United -States arc certainly not partial to < atbolicism. which they conceive to exercise an influence over its professors, inconsistent with Republican institutions: but the intolerant super stition of the Mexicans cannot sorely be the mode of faith which any rational Catholic of Great Bri ! tain would identify with his own. Whatever lUeie may be in other Roman Catholic countries, says Latrobe, ‘in Mexico, there would seeiu to be no medium between the grossest and most deba sing superstition and idolatry, and scepticism and infidelity.’ I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, “Wiii.iam Kr.irirF.DT. “ September 2, 1839.” A Ohf.at Crash.—The Long Island Star says: “On Saturday evening, about 6 o’clock, the two three story houses,nearly completed, erecting on'Furman street, against the heights, came to the ground a heap of ruins, by reason of the moist state of the rear wall, and the pillars not be ing ol sufficient strength to bear the weight, of the arch.
