There is nothing in the Boston papers of Wed

statement in the Dost that Morton is elected Gov- '
ernur of Massachusetts by a majority of four
Nevertheless, there may be something in the
statement. ]
The message of the Governor of Maine hat
reached us. Toward Georgia his language it very ,
calm. The principal point in dispute as to the two ,
men demanded, he states to be a question as to ,
their being fugitives from justice. The Governor ,
has had a correspondence with the Lieut Governor
of New Brunswick, respecting the armed occupa
tion, by two British companies, of feiniseouata
lake, in the disputed territory i and having ascer
tained such to be the fact, he calls upon the Piesi
dent of the United State* for that protection from
invasion guarantied by the Constitution, sir John
Harvey seems to admit such an occupation to he in
contravention if the agreement between him and
Gen '-colt, but excuses himself upon the ground
that it ha i taken place under t >e authorities of
Lower Canada. The expenses of the famous
Aroostook expedition, which Congress will be call
ed upon to pay, are set down as follows ; ,

Mr. Webster, on Monday evening last, met, in i
the Capitol of Massachusetts, at Boston, a large i
number of the members of the Lcgis'ature, and of i

matters of finance, the compromise upon the tariff, '
Sic. Sic To Gen. Harrison he cheer'ully gave his i
support, not a sullen acquiescence, but his best

Arrest of a Pirate.— Through the vigilance
of the Deputy U. S. Alaisliul, assisted hy Nher.ffs
Willy and Russc", and r unstable* Mieftall and
Cdlton, Thomas Allain was arrested on Saturday
night, about 12 o’clock, at the house of Jas. Smith,
who keeps a sailor’s boarding house, w'herc it was
ascertained he was harbored and concealed. The
said Thomas ATriR was sent by our Consul at Li
verpool in the ship Howard, to New York, in charge
of I apt. Merrill, from who n he escaped, charged
with piracy on board of lire ship General Parkitill,
while lying at the port of St. Marks, in Florida, in

Mercantile Character.— We have been fa
vored with a copy of the lecture delivered before
the Mercantile Library Company of Philadelphia,
on the Ist of November last,by lire Hon. John Ser
geant. ihe so ject is “Mercantile Character.”
Wo need scarcely state that it is haml.ed with the
ability for whe-b Mr. S. has so long been distin

ful but eloquent and beautiful. We regret that our

“ The commercial class, without attempting s
more precise de-cription, may be said to include all
those who stand between the producer and the con
sumer, and in any way aid in the circulation and
exchanges of mankind. What a large class it is !
How great a space it occupies! What an influence
it has upon our social condition, and upon the mo
ral lone of the community ! From the smallest
establishment in the interior, where an assortmenl
is kept of every kind of ware, seemingly the most
incongruous—foreign and domestic, for health and
for sickness, for the animal and intellectual nature

commodities likely to he wanted at this the lasi

concerns of rade are managed, through all the in
l*» termediate stages, what a quantity the ;e is of ma
chinery, and what an amount of human agency, in
t, '-essantlyat work * it pervades all society ;it is
ie t)>e overpowering employment; it meets you every
m where—on the land and on the water. The lofty
’j spar and the white sail, soliciting the impulsive
ie power of the wind, the slow-moving boat, the ra
pid steamer, with its columns of dark smoke span
gled with stars of lire, the lumbering wagon, and
the flying car—these, and thousands besides, arc
the implements of commerce, perpetually in mo
tion, and making ti e civilize I world voi al with
their mighty din. And who, and what, are the hu
e man agents engaged in this pervading employment*
e They are our countrymen, our fel.ow-citizens, our
fathers, brothers, sons—nay, our sisters and our
n daughters, too; for females, whom chiistian civili
■ zation every where exalts, lind becoming and lit
* occupation in many ofits multifarious departments.
* Merchants are spread over the land They stand
especial!; on the margin of the ocean, and reaching
' eut their hands to distant regions, form the chief
connecting link with other nations and people; so
that whi eby their weight, their numbers, and the
wealth they manage, they powerfully influence so
ciety at home they in a great ineasuie stamp the
1 impression of its ciia acter abroad. Are they just,
faithful, true to their eng igements, obedient to the
principle of sound morality, prudent, industrious,
m a word, wise in true wisdom, which teaches to
seek lawful ends by lawful and honorable means,
and to spurn ail others, however tempting; arc they
such, they give a good name to their country and
to their city, and impart the f agiancc of their well
-1 earned reputation to all around them. The veiy
air seems perfumed by their virtue Should they,
unhappily, be the reverse of a.I this—faith ess,
heedless, rash, eager in the pursuit oi gain; and le
gardless of the methods of reaching it, they dishon- I
or and disgrace their neighborhood, and shed upon
it the odium of their own misconduct. Nor will
such misconduct fail to poison and corrupt the com
munity they live in. Dishonesty and tiick in the
commercial class must lead to dishonesty and trick
in those who deal with them. If the sci er employ
s rata gem and art to deceive the buyer, the buyer
will ipsort to stratagem and art in self-defence, un
til at length the point of honour will be who can
most successfully deceive and cheat his neighbour ”

Literary Messenger.
T. W. White, respectfully informs the patrons
of the “ Southern Literary Messenger,” and the
public generally, that the issue of the next So. of
that periodical is necessarily delayed beyond the
usual time of publication. The recent holidays,
and a damage which has occurred to the press on
which the Lessengei is struck oif, have retarded
the business of his office. He wou d further men
tion that the publishing of an important essay up
on the‘’Rights of the Slaveholding States, and the 1
owners of slave property, under die Constitution E
of the L’nited Mates,” from the pen of Cunw’ay j
Robinson, Esq., of this city, has also postponed the
appearance of the Messenger. He believes, how- i
ever, that the value and inleiest of this paper will
fully a one for the delay, being anxious to pre- i
sent the whole essay at the same time to the pub- |
lie, and aware that the issue of his periodical would
be late for the month of January, he has concluded
to publish the January and February numbers to
gether His patrons will, therefore, receive a
double number, or the numbers for two months un
der one cover The putilisher flatters himself, that
both in typographical and literary excel dice, the
two coming numbers will equal, if not exceed, any
that he has ever given to the public, besides the
important essay already mentioned, and which
possesses such a peculiar interest at the present
time, they will contain a notice of the recent at
tack unon Dr. obanning in the (-Edinburgh Review,
from the pen of a Baltimore in. A second paper
upon the Smi’lisoninn Institute. San Marino, from
the pen of 11. T. Tuckerm m, Esq.; The Worthies
of V irginia; Gleanings from New England History;
Rights of Authors; Moral and Mental Portraits,
No. 1, being a notice of Wil iam Cullen Bryant;
Isabelle de Ca'tios,a talc of Spanish Romance; a
humorous story, entitled Airs. Shooter’s Party; a
sketch of the character of Cord Byron; An Inci
dent of the War ol 1812-M4—a true stop ; Simm’s
Early Lays, No. II; Bcminiscemes of the British
at Hollingbrook; Homines Apud Infernos; a poeti
cal article, entitled Imri, or the Bride of the Fallen
Star; and an elaborate and critical notice of Mur
ray’s Travels, from the pen of an accomplished
scholar; intere-ting Sketch of Canova, translated
from the Italian, by M. Morgan, M. D., Surgeon U.
S. Navy. Besides several notices of new publica
tions.
He trusts that this will furnish a satisfactory
apology for his delay; and that the next volume of
the Messenger will rontinuc to warrant the patro
nage and commendation which have been hereto
fore kindly bestowed upon it.
T. W. W. calculates to issue this double number
of the Messenger on or before the Ist day of Feb
ruary.

Advice to Young Men.
nr MATTHEW CARET.
Shun the despicable character of a political
brawler. But let n ’thing, except being bed-rid
den, prevent you from exercising thatinestimable
privilege, the elective franchise. Never disgrace
yourself by an absence from the polls, under the
unjustifiable, fallacious plea, that your single vote
is oi no consequence. Some of the most impor
tant measures of legislative bodies, here and else
where, have been carried by majorities of one,
two, or three.
The vote on the abdication of James 11, and the
elevation of William and Maiy to the throne of
Great Britain, was carried by a majority of two—
-51 to 49! ! Let this be an unceasing warning to
\ou of the importance of a vote or two. Never
have to reproach yourself, that a profligate man
has been elected or u bad measure adopted through
your absence from this sacred duty.

A fcll rEATHEHAn Democrat.—The Union
eulogises Mr. Pickens of S. Carolina. as a ‘ full
feathered democrat.’ His evidence, therefore
I against the party in power cannot he controvert
ed- Three years ago, he thus spoke of it on the
floor of Congress:
“Sir," said Mr. Pickens, “sycophancy and ser
r- vilify have taken the place of all the heroic and
manly virtues. The rooks, together with obscene
. b rds, have peeked themselves in the high placss
of the land, and we sit here beneath surrounded
daily with their filth and corruption.”
“This gentleman.” [Mr. Cambreleng] said Mr.
Pickens, -‘has said this nation had been convert
ed into a great gambling house. He asked, who
had brought it to this condition ? The party
now in power—a "Her. a more degraded, a more
, corrupt set of WRETCHES never lived. The
contempt of all pledges, man-worshipping, office
seeking. &c. had wrought a distinct change in
the principles of this gentleman.”

1166 ; Havana, 338; other foreign ports, 18 >; New
York, 535; Boston, 1433; Providence, 393; to
gothcr, 26972 bales —making a reduction in stock
of 13539 bales, and leaving on hand, inclusive o>
all on shipboard, not cleared on the 7th inst., a
stock of 108036 bales.
In our report of Saturday morning lust, we stated
that the Cotton market exhibited a drooping appear
ance at the time our inquiries teimmated on the
evening previous, but the transactions of that day,
which amounted to about 30- 0 bales,did not show
any further material change in prices.
By Sunday’s mail we were put in possession of
advices from Liverpool to the 2 d, and from Havre
to the 17th November, brought to New fork by
the packet ship South America. 'I he transactions
in Cotton at Liverpool so a few days subsequent
to the 16th, (the date of our former advices,) are
repotted as having been rather extensive, with an
improvement of $ to sd. per lb.; but afterwards,
the demand having considerably subsided, prices
went back to their former po-ition—say 7$ a 7 jd.
for fair. At Havre there had been a tolerably fair
business doing in Cotton, but, owing to the dull
state of trade generally, and to the doubts enter
tained by most importers in regard to the future
course of business, prices had receded from 2 to 3
centimes.
These accounts, so far as we can learn, have had
no perceptible effect on our market. The sales of
Monday. which reached to fully 7500 bales, were
at undeviating prices, as were those of yesterday,
which however did not amount to more than 1009
bales. The supply of the finer grades of Cotton
is but small at present, and the stock of all sorts
on sale is moderate for the season. The sales of
the three days are about 12000 bales, which we
notice as follows, viz: 70 bales Louisiana and
Mississippi at cents ;21at8;14 at S£ ; 412 at
9k ; 212 at 8; 107 at 8j; 36 at 6s; 58 at 7i;g369'

Sugar. — Louisiana. —The market has been un
usually dull for the last few days, and only very
limited sales have been made from the Levee, at
our pievious quotations—say 4 a 5$ cents ; though
we may remark that only a very choice article will
command our latter figures. We can learn of no
transactions on Plantation.
Havana Sugars aie without change in prices,
and almost without demand.
Molasses. — The demand is very limited for par
cels from the Levee, and prices have still further
given way. We now quote at 21 a 22 cents per
gallon. We c-nnot learn that there is any thing
of importance doing on Plantation. Planters pro
pose to sell large paroels at 17 cents, but buyers—
particularly those for the Northern markets—de
c ine payii g over 15 a 16.
Bacon. — t here has neen a considerable addition
to the stock, within the last few days, but prices
are without change. Ue still quote Canvassed
Hams 10$ all ; sides 7$ a8; shoulders 6 a 7 cts.
The demand however,con inues extremely limited
and the talcs for all descriptions ate tending down
ward.
Flour.— Further supp'ies to t' e amount of some
5000 to 6000 barrels have come in, since our last,
by steamboats and flatboats; principally by the
latter conveyance. These are the earliest boats o;
Hie fleet known to be n the way, and, although
there has been some lilt e expo-t dem ind, yet the
rather large receipts, and the expectation that the
stoca will be considerably augmented in a few
days, have caused a further decline in prices. We
now quute Superfine at $5,50 a 5,75, with a dull
market.
Whiskey —The demand for this article is ex
tremely inactive, and, although the receipt' are
limited, prices have given way. Ue niw quote

A REAL IILESSING TO MOTHERS
DRIP. A'FdiVS’ CELEBRA TED SOOTHING
SYRUP, for Children Cutting their Teeth— This
mfal.ible remedy has preserved hundreds of chii-
Iren, when thought past recovery, from convul
sums. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the
gums, the child will recover. The preparation is
so innocent, so efficacious and so pleasant, that no
cluW will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it
When infants are at the age of four months, though
there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the
byrup should be used on the gums, to open the
pores. Parents should never be without the Svrun
m the nursery where there are young children ; for
if a child wakes in the night with pain in c.egums
the -syrup immediately gives ease, by opening the
pores end healing the gums; thereby preventing
convulsions, fevers, &c. Sold only at Dr. Wm
Evans’Medical Office, 100 Chatham street, New
York, where the Doctor maybe consulted on all
diseases of children,
PROOF POSTTIVE OF the EFFICACY OF
Dr. EVANS’ SOOTHING SYRUP.—To the Agent ■
of Dr. Evans’ Soothing Syrup; Dear Sir The
gieat beneut afforded to my su.lerin*' infant by
your Soothing Syrup, in a ca.-e of protracted and
pamtu- dentition, must convince every feeling pa
tent how essential an early application of such an (
invaluable medicine is to relieve infant misery and
torture. My infant, when teething, experienced
such acute sulterings, that it was attacked wilu
convulsions, and my wife and family supposed that
death would soon release the babe from anguish,
till we procured a hotlle of your Syrnp; which us
soon as applied to the gums, a wonderful change
was produced, and after a few applications the
chi.d displayed obvious relief, and by continuing in
its use, I am glad to inform you the child has com
pletely recovered, and no recurrence of that awful
complaint has since occurred ; the teeth are ema
nating daily and the child enjoys perfect healih.
1 give you my cheerful permission to make this
acknowledgment public, andwill gladly give any
information on this circumsti nee.
