in a sensible speech on the question. Une of i 1
his views was that it did not become the Mouth *
to oiler any resolution in relation to her own *
rights, but that she should wait and see what the ‘
north had to propose, and act accordingly. He '
courted the discussion so far as the North was
concerned, and the Mouth had n right to know (
what there were. He discussion of the question *
of the jurisdiction of the House over the subject ‘
of Slavery, and showed that, under the Constitu- I

he inferred that there was no right to agitate the

It is liecoming a common occurrence in the ,
House of Kepiesentativea to open the session
with personal explanations, Thu matter of pub
hr printing and public printers, and certain can- ,
didates for public printing, opened the hall this ;
morning. ,
Mr. Mitchell, of New York, having lieeu .
charged with making certain negotiations in re- |
gaol to the subject, asked the attention of the ,
House in respect to it. His name had been used ,
in the Globe of Monday night in an article, which |
as regarded himself he pronounced to be false.
He hud written a letter to Gen. Green, which he
greatly regretted he was not now permitted to lay
before the public, if he ever laid hands upon it
he should publish it, and should ho glad then to i
hare any member of the House to make anv '
movement be thought proper in regard to it. •
As far as I remember the contents of my letter, I
said Mr. Mitchell, i stated that I was anxious to '
elect Gales A Meaton—tbal 1 had such an obiec- I
tion to Blair A Rives that 1 should lie glad to I
have Gen. Green instead of them for public
printer—that i believed Gen. Green could lie I
elected. I said nolhiug of votes of certain friends '
in the South. I wrote the letter also upon my t
own, sole responsibility, without consulting friends )
and without taking any advice whatever. The I
charge in the Globe about securing votes is eu- I
tirely groundless. If such a latter was an over
ture of bribery, the word does not mean what it
did, and no one would make such a charge but i
those inclined to offer and take a bribe. Mr. u
Mitchell alluded to the article in the Globe and (
the statement made that Mr. Fisher of N. Caro- i
lina, showed the letter sent by him to Gen. *
Greeu to the Speaker. <
Mr. Hunter, from the Chair, interrupted him, I
and said that lie knew nothing of the article in
the Globe until he aaw i< in the Globe>—that he I
in no way advised its publication, or adviaed it* i
appearance—that he disapproved of the conten- I
firmly.
uon—and further had made no charge ol bnbeiy.
Mr. Mitchell made tome allusion to Mr. Either,
which drew him out to explain hit agency in
the matter.
Mr. Fisher said that he regretted that hit nome
had lieen used. He had no ambition to he con
nected with auch matters. He should tell a plain
story which would explain how far he was con
nected, and to do this it was necessary t> make
two or three corrections of the article which ap
peared in the Globe. Mome time since he had
received a letter from Duff Green, inclosing one
from Mr. Mitchell from New York.
Tire contents of Mr. Mitchell's letter, as near
as he could recollect, were his aversion to Blair
A Hives—his belief that Gales A Heaton could 1
not he elected—his preference of Gen. Green— j
his belief that he could he re-elected—his opinion
that the profits of printing were $30,000 —his
further opinion that some arrangement could lie
made with Gales and Meaton to have the printing
done in their office—and that by auch an arrange- 1
menl the profits might lie divided—Duff Green i
receiving $20,000 and Galea and Meaton SIO,OOO.
I did not call this bribery said Mr. Fisher, nor did
you Mr. Mpeaker, when I showed you the letter.
Mr. F. further said that he showed Mr. Mitchell’s
and Gen. Green’s letters to a fellow lodger, a
member from Mouth Carolina.
Mr. Holmes, the ntcmlier alluded to, spoke of
himself as having been made a parlicejm crimi
uie in this matter. The letters alluded to were
shown to him, and without charging that they
contained overtures of bribery, he thoagbt the
propositions very extraordinary, and told Mr.
Fisher that he supposed by and by he ahould be
come initiated, for be had heard much of tlie cor
ruptions of mendiers of Congress.
Mr. Mitchell said that the member from North
Carolina had confounded hi* proposition to Gen.
Duff Green with General Green’s to him. I ask
the member from North Carolina if I did not
slate in my letter that I wished nothing to he
done inconsistent with public duty.
Mr. Fisher did not remcmlier all the contents
of the letter. It might have been said, and pro
bably was, as the gentleman had remarked.
The matter closed here.
[Mince the Baltimore mail arrived, Mr. Mitch
ell allowed me the following copy of a letter :
Baltimore, Jan. 15, 1840.
"Dear Hir—l have just seen the article hi the
Globe, in which mention is made of your letter.
I need nert assure you that I shall repel the impu
tation. I have not time to prepare a copy, hut
will send one by the next mail.

U. 8. StKATon—The hill for the election ofa
Senator in Congress appoints this day for the
choice, and we do not doubt that Nathaniel P.
Talmadge has lawn elected. Vexatious and cm- 1
barrassing ns this may be ta the administration, )
it is s just retribution for persecution and pro- 1
acriplion. Mr. Talmadgo violated no fixed prin- 5
cipleor recognized doctrines of the democratic 5
parly. If the President says, “1 am in favor of
uniting the purse and the sword,” or “I am in ‘
favor of giving all the public lands to the new
Btales,” is a citizen and u Menalor to he "knocked
down and dragged out,” metaphorically speaking,
because ho dissents from surh doctrines 1
The case of Mr. Talrnudge is only one ofa
thousand in the democratic ranks. The party so
long in power in this Mtatc, imagined that they
could afford to drive out, one after the other, for
presuming to doubt the infallibility of men and
measures—not for being recreant to principles.
We see what the result is ; and it should boa ]
lesson for lenders of all parties— not to suppose '
that their position is so strong—their scats so se- '
cure, that they can afford to he unjust or pro- ’
soriptiveto men in their own ranks. Mr. Rives, !
who was included in the denunciation with Mr!
Talmadge, may be re-elected also from Virginia, 1
if he pleases, to conform to the views of some 1

issue at the South, ol nine thousand shares of the 1
stock of that bank the U. 8. Gazelle did not know 1
on what authority the rumor was founded 1

by the following curivu* “sutistii* of dunk
ing” it will be teen that Scotland in proportion
to her population,consairet nearly twice aa much

ax England;
Sri hit Drinking.—'The spirit shops in
Glasgow amounted, at the last census, to one in
' every ten houses throughout the city. The pro
, portion is, of course, greater in the low districts.
| The following is the amount' of spirits consumed
I in England, Ireland and Scotland :— England,
population, 13,897,187; galls, of spirits, 12,341,-
j 238. Ireland, population, 7,767,401; galls, of
spirits 12,293,464, Scotland, population. 2,365,-
114; galls, of spirits 7,767,715. Thus it appears
I hat the quantity of spirits annually consumed in
j England, is seven pints and one ninth per head
on the population ; in Ireland, rather more than
thirteen pints per head; and in Scotland, twenty
i three pints per head. When the drunkards in
Glasgow become too poor to satiate their appetite
I for spirits, they now resort in a great measure to
I laudanum, which, in an unadulterated state, is
consumed in considerabe quantities, and regular
ly sold by'many of the chemists.

Arnold’s Escape.
Mr. Ebeneser Chase was a private in the New
Hampshire militia, which relieved the Pennsylva
nia lineal West Point in 1780, when those troops
being veteran, were wanted elsewhere. Mr. C.
with several others, being off duty, was on tbr
shore of the Hudson when Arnold deserted
When Gen. Washington assigned him the co«»-
mund of West Point, he left his own barge in
hia possession. A temporary hut was erected on
the east shore for the accommodation of the serer
oarsmen who managed the barge. On the morn
ing of his desertion, Gen. Arnold nale down Jo
the shore, from his bead quarters at Robinson’s
farm, very fast, as was his custom —threw the
reins to hia attendant, and ordered the barge to
he manned. He then directed hia course towards
the Point; but on reaching the middle of the riv
er, the boat-was observed to take a course down
stream, and move very swiftly through the water.
The exp anation was afterwards made by the
boatmen. He hoisted a IJag of truce and told them
to pull for the Vulture sloop of war, which lay be
low, saying that ho had some business with her
captain, and promised that if they would row him
down to her as soon as possible, to give them a
guinea and a gallon of rum each. On nearing
the \ ulture, and being within range of her guns,
Arnold opened his plan saying, “1 have served
the ungrateful scoundrels long enough," and de
clared it they would go with him they should
have double pay, and be made sergeants in the
British service. One ol the men replied that “he.
did not understand fighting on both sides.”
“ 1 hen, said the General, ‘you are mv prison
ers.
When they came along side the sloop of war,
Arnold ascended the deck, and was receivin' hv
the mariners with presented arms. He then or
dered the men to come on board as prisone s of
war. One of them who had been their rpokes
man just before, said “ it was a shabby nick, as
they had toiled to their utmost strength to get
the boat along, now to refuse the promised le
ward and make them prisoners to hoot.” The
English captain heard their murmurs, and step
ping forward observe.!—Gen. Arnold, I com
mand this ship, and while I walk the quarter
deck no such transaction shall take place. I
know the meaning of my words, air, and will
meet their comment. Then addressing the men.
he continued—" My good fellows. I respect your
principles and fidelity to your countiy, although
you are enemies to your King. You shall have
liberty to go or stay as you please.—- Here," ta
king them from his purse, •• are four guineas .
steward put up four gallons of ru m for these
men. The boatmen thanked the gallant and gen
erous sailor, and returned in safety to head quar
ters to report their proceedings to Gen. AA ashing
ton, who had just arrived in camp. Arnold, cha
grined and enraged, retired without uttering a
word, to the cabin of the sloop of war.
This statement was made by Mr. Chase about
a fortnight before hia death in 1831. He also
stated that he saw Major Andre going to execu
tion riding in the centre of a troop of light horses.
Arnold, before his escape, had received infor
mation that ‘ John Anderson,’ the name with
which he had filled Andre’s pass, was taken. —
The information was sent by the unfortunate
person himself. This determined his purpose
for sudden flight. He waa afterwards distin
guished for the inveteracy in which he carried
on his predatory warfare against the property of
his fellow countrymen. After the war he went
to England ; where although he received the
countenance of the British government, his good
intentions in his unsuccessful plot against the
liberty of his country were despised by the Brit
ish officers. The unfeeling wretch called upon
the widowed mother and sister of his unfortunate
victim (Andre.) The servant announced to
them the name of Gen. Arnold ; and they imme
diately returned a message that they did not de
sire to see him. V.

GEORGIA, Richmond County;
Tne Grand Jury, chosen and selected for the
first week of Januaiy Term, 1840, in pursuance
of their duties make the following presentments:
We present as a grievance requiring the ener
getic action of the proper authorities, the practice
of trading with negro slaves, and especially the
sale and traffic in ardent spirits, with negroes sent
to market with produce. It is believed by the
Jury, that there are numerous shops kept on the
various roads leading to the city, and also within
, its corporate limits, whose main support is derived
■ from this unlawful traffic. If these shops are li
censed by the Inferior Court or City Authorities,
we would present that as an evil which cads loud
ly for a thorough reform, or if not licensed, we
would urge the prosecution of every offender;
and in order to ascertain fully this fact, the Jury
respectfully request His Honor the Judge of the
■Superior Court that the magistrates or
constables in the several districts of the county,
shall call on every retailer of spirituous liquors,
and ascertain if licenses has been granted them,
and if any arc found retailing without a license,
or have abused that privilege, that they be report
ed to the Grand Jury of the succeeding weeks, or
of the next Term of Court.
The Jury would also respectfully ask the atten
tion of the Honorable Inferior Court to this sub
ject, and earnestly request that no person be li
censed, to retail spirits in this county, except
those of known good character, and that every
applicant for license, be required to produce a cer
tificate ot good character, signed by twelve res
pectable froe-holders, residents of the district, ap
proving of such license being granted. Whilst
on this subject we take the liberty of suggesting
to the Honorable City Council of Augusta, the
propriety of adopting similar measures of precau
tion in all licenses to sell spirituous liquors gran.-
ed by them.
We have examined, by Committees, the Re
cords of the Superior and Inferior Courts, and
also of the Court of Ordinary, the Poor House
! and Jail, and subjoin the following report:
Committee on Records—Report, that the books
j and papers are all carefully and neatly kept.—
i They further report, that there are many of the
j old Record Uooka, which arc much out of repair,
and many of them falling to pieces, and would
j recommend tkai they be speedily rebound and put
j in perfect order, under the superintendance and
I direction of the clerk.
j Committee on the Poor House—Report that
1 they found the house in as good order as the
. situation of the inmates will admit of—with one
j exception, all those who are within its walls ap
i pear satisfied with the treatmenttbey have receiv
ed—and the number amo ints to fourteen, (14,)
nine males, tour females and one infant. There
are two aged persons placed in this institution, hy
the City Council of Augusta; one a native ot
New York, and the other of Virginia, who ask
the interference of the Grand Jury to have them
removed to their homes, and one of them states,
that he has a competent support when at home.
Committee on the Jail—Report, after a thor
ough examination, the same to be in a very neat
condition, which reflects credit on the keeper.
We request these presentments, except those in
which indictments may be founded, he published
in the gazettes of this city.

I REMARKS.
Cotton. —This article continues low, having va
| ried but little for some weeks. We now quote 74
to 84 as the extremes of the market, sales being
t chiefly effected at 8a 84 cents. It continues to ar
rive in groat quantities, and planters in despair of
! getting better prices are selling freely. Our river
is now low and does not allow steamboats coming
up to the city. A good rain would have a benefi
, cial influence on the market.
Freights.— By the river to Savannah, $2 perbalc.

A REAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS
DR W. EVANS’ CELEBRATED SOOTHING '
SYRUP, for Children Cutting their Teeth.— ’Ihi,
infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of chil
dren, when thought past recovery, from convul
sions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the 1
gums, the child will recover. The preparation is
so innocent, so efficacious and so pleasant, that no J
child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it 1
When infants are at the age of four months, thoiH,
there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the
pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup
in the nursery where there are young children; fur
if a child wakes in the night with pain in the gums,
the Syrup immediately gives ease, by opening the
pores and 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. I
PROOF POSrriVE OF THE EFFICACY Os i
Dr. EVANS ’ SOOTHING SYRUP.—To the Agent !
of Dr. Evans’ Soothing Syrup: Dear Sir-—The
great benefit afforded to my suffering infant by
your Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted and J
painful dentition, must convince every feeling pa- /
lent how essential an early application of such an
invaluable medicine is to relieve infant misery and
torture. My infant, when teething, experienced
such acute sufferings, that it was attacked wilq
convulsions, and my wife and family supposed that
death would soon release the babe from anguish, I
till we procured a bottle of your Syrnp ; which as
soon as applied to the gums, a wonderful change jl
was produced, and after a few applications (he
child displayed obvious relief, and by continuiug in
its use, 1 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 health.
I give you my cheerful permission to make this
acknowledgment public, andwill gladly give any
information on this circumsti nee.

and permanent cure.
