WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, 1835).
The Macon Messenger of the 27th ult. says.—*
Wo learn from MUIcdgoville that Ilis Excellency
Gov. Gilmer has been seriously indisposed fornbnul
two weeks past, and at our last information, thcro
was but littlo hope of his tecovery.
Fourth or July.—Col. David C. Campbell,

. I. Gresham, Esq., the reader of tho Declaration.
Kj" We perceivo by tho St. Augustine News of
the 22d, that Col. Downing, tho delegate elect,
from Florida, hns keen antcrtaiiied at a greut
lie dinner, in that city.
Tho Georgia Argm of tho 20lh inst. says •
“Charles Haynes who committed murder in
this county, last week, upon tho body of bis brother,
Eli Haynes, was yesterduy brought to this city,
and after a legal investigation, was committed to
prison, where ho will await his trial at tho- next
term of the Superior Court.”
KJ* " Tht Augusta Mirror," which lias keen a
stranger of ltfto, came to hund yesterday, and is
filled with articles of no ordinary merit. •' Life’s
Emblem," a poetic flower, by R. M. C., our gifted
townsman, .we will transplant into the Georgian
to-morrow.
Equivocal.—The Journal of Commerce says
of tho New York Editors, “ most of us get ii good
living, some way or another !"
Mr. T. B. Smith of New Orleans, who was lnte-
ly stabbed by a innn named Corrcll, is said by the
last New Orleans papers, to he out of danger. Cor
rcll was said to have been drowned immediately ni
ter the murder, in nn attempt to cross the Missis
sippi to escape the olfiei-rs who were in pursuit of
him. Thu New Orleans Courier says that there
ure those who will not bclievo tlmt ho is drowned
till the body is found.
It has linen ascertained that Steinhergcr's Clerk
(Mr. Miller,) lias genu to Canada. If lie took any
money with him, or if nuy tiling is wrong in his no*
Vomits, it is not yet ascertained.
JUDGES’ SALARIES.
The Legislature of Pentisylviinin tins iiiereiised
tho salaries of the* L-»w Judges of the State $600.
This is nn example worthy of lieing followed.—
Judges should ho well paid—should receive salaries
which would command the ablest services, mid
would plnco them' nhovo tho pecuniary temptations
and iiilluoiices which must eonte of a dependence
upon other resources. Virginia should take counsel
of Pennsylvania, and ho more liberal to her Judges.
—•Richmond Compiler, Sfi/A.
Wo wish Georgia would also “ take counsel of
Pennsylvania." At present tip? salary of the Judges
of our Superior Courts is much less than the income
of ninny members of »ho liar This should not he.
Tho sw’nry of u Judge should ho such, as to render
the station nn object of desire to the most eminent
luwycis—those who enjoy tho most lucrative prac
tice of their profession.
The Encampment.—Tim U. S. Gazelle, says,
that on Saturday last, the Uniicil States troops nt
Camp Washington, (Trenton) parad-d together,
and wero roviewed by General Eus ri.s, who is now
In command of the encampment. This is the first
time that all the dilfereut arms have lieen brought
to act together, light infantry, dragoons mid urtil-
Jcry. Tho whole force consisted of about seven
hundred men, and their nppcnrunce was martial mid
imposing It is understood tint Muj. Gen. Scott
will assume tho conimutid about the middle of
August.
The Rainmaker in Boston.—The Boston pa-
pvfit tell us that Mr. Espy had a very attentive au
dience to hour his first lecture, nud all who listened
to him appeared to ho much interested in his lenrn-
ed and scientific discourse. Five hundred intended
the first lecture and the second wus equally well
attended.
Tho New York Fire Association hns been re-or
ganised, and by the present arrangements, the chief
engineers arc to receive $1000 curb; assistant engi
neers $150: foreman $100; 2d foreman $75; clerks
$75; steward* (persons who dean tho engine), nud
hose, aud keep them in order) $100, members $50.
Reception or the President.—Tho N. York
Star of Tuesday last, states that tho reception nfilie
President in that city has been referred to General
Doughty, Gen. Sandfnrd and Gen. L!nyd. A grand
military parade and procession lias been decided
upon—cilhens v n horseback, cmrlagos, mid a ba
rouche for tho President, wills six horses—reception
at the city hall. &c. &c- Tim affair will ho conduc
ted with tusto anil spirit. This is ns it should he.
Tho sailors in port at New York hnvo struck for
higher wages. The Journal of Commerce says that
“nothing could he bettor timed, for just now tho
■hips hnvo turned out also, and nro many of them
lying at tha wharves nt kilo assu many loafers."
Joseph Spencer, who murdered his brother ot
Wilmington, Del., some time since, wns hung lit
Newcastle, on Monday last. He wus u colored
man.—Boston Paper.
EanoR.—il'ltojus Morgan was the nnmc of tlm
man who was hung. The man ho killed was named
Jyfph Spencer. Both negroes.
Tho Georgian is mistaken ns to Mr/ Bloecker.
Ho is a politician, although no pnrtizan. Ho was a
calm nnd consistent suppoiter of Genera! Jackson's
administration, and lip approves of tho pulley of
Mr. Van Buron. Personally ho is one of tho liurost
and noblest men—talented und accomplished, and
spinlified in overy respect for the honorable post ns*
signed to him.—N. Y. Nete Era, 20th ult.
Tho abova correction is made in u paragraph
copied from our paper, in tho New Era. It will ho
seen that it is unimportant. We really did not
know that Mr. Bi.eeckeh wns a politician—hut it
is very evident his political sentiments ulnno did
recommend him to tho President. Ilis acknow
ledged ability was enough.
WHAT NEXT?
A now Conservutivn paper is about to bo started
at Portland, in Mninr, u> bo entitled “ The Eat-
Argus—revived." It is to ndvocate •* tlm

the Sub-Treasury question. It is full mid plain-

York, June22d, 1839.
Gentlemen: I hnvo had the honor to receive

Thu expression of thoso sentiments by u portion
of my fellow-citizens who have been so long und so
justly distinguished for tho stability und integrity

That there should have been differences uf opin
ion in regard to tho first uf tlio measures ill which
you hnvo particularly ulludcd, considering tho com
mendable sensitiveness uf the public inmd to what
ever concerns tho nationul iiuuiices, is mu surpris
ing. These ditfuiuncos are, however, obviously
yielding to u more correct uiidnrstundiiig of tho sul>-
jccl in all its I tourings, uudtt.u time is not, 1 trust,
very distant when it Mill receive llie cordial assent
of all disinterested persons. It is now undergoing
that safest of ull political tests, die imnniiiul scru
tiny of un intelligent und patriotic people, who uro
nt the suiiiu lime tho principal party in interest nnd
the judge ill th*- lust resort. As limy decide so will
it, und so should it he.
The compliment of a public dinner you must per
mit me, respect fully, to decline. In doing so, 1
hut conform to a rule which 1 liuvu prescribed to
myself us most suitable to tlm circumstances under
which 1 travel, nnd the observance of which I iiicun
to iiiuko invariable. Well assured thut lliis deci

STATE OF ENGLAND—THE CHARTISTS
At no period in English hl*tory, wa* there more
appearance of on impending Revolution, than at
the present time. Making every nltuwnnco for the
different nges, “iho signs of the times" prior to that
successful outbreak which made Cromwell a Pro
tector—beheaded o king—and proscribed royalty—
were not half as threatening us they are now—If
iouil words and noisy deolanintion can bo of any u
vail.
It sin mid, however, bn remembered that tlio lead
ers of tho present dny nre different persons from
•hose who ro*o up to denounce •' tho man,"
Charles Stuart. Sir Marry Vane, Russell,
Sydney, Hampden, Bradshaw, Irkton, Fair
fax, and Cromwell, were men who possessed the
courage, force of character, and tnlnnt*. which are
necessary to perform great deeds. Tho govern
ment of that day was not so strong ns that of the
present. Beside*, tho greut bulk of the English
people Hid not then partake io largely of tlio bene
fit* of self-government, a* they do now. Tho elec
tive franchise was restricted, penal laws wero ill
force tig'iinsi all who dissented frem the Church, as
by luw established—she Court wns profligate ami
tho nubility generally Holm ucheii und unprincipled,
with immunities and privileges, that enabled them
to pcrsecuto uud anuoy the Idwerclasses. I often,
with nil these advantages, tlio leader* of thnt gran;
Revolution liud to fight for every inch of ground,
w lint chance would Mr. Fkahous O’Connor, or
Purson Stephens have, with on undisciplined
mu titude unaccustomed to the use of arm*, nn
opposo.l by nn army perfectly drilled, and under
tlio command of muu uf great military capucityf
Sorely, none.
But those tumultuous mealing—these torch light
nsseinhlie*. ure not attended by men of worth of
intelligence—by thoso who nr .-able to furnish the
“sinews of war,"—or by thoso who could “iid«*
on iliu whirlwind and direct tlio storm," if it wns
once raised Tho middle cluisos tnku no part in
those meciings. Professional men hnvo little to do
witli them. uud. with the oxceplion of Stephens,
O'Connor, nnd a few more disinterested patriots,
who Iiiivo nothing to lose—but eveiy thing to gain,
by change, the “Chartists" nro wofu'ly deficient in
uflicor*. Mr. Thomas ATT wood of Birmingham
one of the ino*t influential men amongst the real
Reformers, nnd tho head of the Political Union,
stands aloof from them. They h ive rcnlly little a-
vailalile strength in Loudon, und none in tho Went,
Soil'll, or Ivki of England; llieir stronghold* are in
tha Noitli, with some aid limn Wales. In Scot
land, the pnoplo are too snnsihloto join them. Tlio
towns of M iuckcsler, Liverpool, Macclesfield, nnd
Birmingham, are the principal vein* of “Chartist"
powci—and only tlio operative dus-es there favor
them.
We have thought it necessary to show tho ma
teriel i.f these bodies of English mnlcoiitcut*, who
tn.iio under tlm general head of " Chartist |,ut
with really no defined object in view. Tlio Jacobin
Club* of France, openly declured llieir design,
which was to strike nt the root of monarchy. Tho
“ Chnrtist*" do not know what they desire. Many
of them profess til lie loyal supporters of tho throne
—other* openly declare llieir opposition to tn<
iiurchy, but they lmve no rallying cry—no principle
on which they nil ugreu. They are thus, a body
without ii liuiul.
It may lie right to expluin tlio term “ Chartist*.’ 1
It is not a new name. Tim Spanish—tho Portu
guese, and the French, have used it in turn. Tho
way it is understood in England, however, i* n*
folio.is. Tho-o who rnngo ihcoisolvos under the
“Chartist" haulier, wish, or pretend to wish, fora
now Bill of Rights—a now Magna Chart a—which
is to be more republican, nnd to supersede all
others. They have not as yet, though; specified
wlmt they would include in this Charter—they have
notbildiy proclaimed what grievance* they would
redress, or wliut it U that they desire—that would
give them satisfaction.
Wo nro in favour of free nnd equal government
■ill over tho world. We believe that there are
many imposts in Euglnud that should bo abolished
—the Corn Law* fur one—because they press upon
the poor nud productivo classes will great hard
ship, tithes too. we lielieve, is a cry]ngevU,nndone
that eventually fall* with groat weight on tlio*o who
rocotvo no benefit from them.' Duly wo deprecate
tho m»nus by which tho “ Chartists" would accom
plish their ends. And, why do we deprecate them?
We nro opposed, in tho first place, to tho ihedding
of Idooil, where it can bo avoided without tho loss
of national honor. Tlio horrors of civil war are
enough to do ter aligned men Irani striking tlio blow
Unit would entail thorn on their generation. Blit,
wo do nut bclievo tint tlio peopiu of England—tlio
majority of tho people—desire all the “ Chartist*"
look for. lfthoy.-did, why do they not speak out?
England Ins nnvor boon deficient in patriots—not
is slio now. Wlioro are her greut iiamus 7 Why
do they not link themselves witli these multitudes
of moil, wins meet by day uud nislit, und threaten
lire nnd sword, my extermination to thoso they
term thoir oppressors 7 Wo nre forced to suppose,
because they do not approve thoir objects.
Let any olio look hack for u few years, and see
tlio ninny concessions which have been mnda by
tlm Reform Ministry to tho spirit of the nge. Every
year bus frittered away somo old atmse, tiiat hung
like a cobweb on tbc face of tlio good old English
Constitution. The In snm of Reform lias done, and
is doing wonders, uud, in time, nn doubt, everything
will lie swept away thut can interfere witli tho ra
tional liberty of the people of that country—a* fur
as is consistent with the existence of a monarchy—
nnd when the nut ion ut large may cho iso to rhango
it* form of government, to do uwuy with hereditary
■ tlv —t!vr>ti that can he done pcuccuhly und without
blood-died by no enlightened people.
We would sympathizo with all who writhe he-
non th tho rod of tyranny. Wo would open our
urrns to the oppressed of every civilized nation—
but it is because wo do not believe thnt there is a
disposition on the part of the present English go
vernment, to be ui library, or in tho breast of it*
youthful ruler n desire, to coerce, or deal harshly
with her subjects, thut we have no sympathy with
the 4 Chartists"—with men who would plunge thoir
country into n sea of blood, that they might per
chance mount D» power, on*pyntmids of dying vic
tim*.
No. It wns n far different—a more imperative,
ond nn entirely justifiable cntiM*, that impelled our
patriot sires, to draw tho sword, when they labourgd
under the tnDrulu nnd tyranny of a colonial govern
ment—where even tlio minion of a King, wa* llieir
iinniedinte oppressor. Nor did tlmy then do it
ra*hly. Thirteen United States ucled a* one man.
Tlm wise men of our country assembled in soloinn
conclave. Wealth, character, and Intercity—such
u* no or was *euii liofore, graced that di lilmialive
Grotk, Phillips, and Moleswortii, wo shall not
seriously bclievo there will lie any change in tho
form of Government in England. Indeed, all
fear, is thnt tho proceedings of the •' Chartists’’
will bring on themselves a dreadful pimiriimont t
for, unless arrested by tlio timely Interference
the government, n collision may ensue, when the
unfortunate nnd deluded people «ill lie inevitably
slaughtered nnd defeated, much nftcr the same
tnnnueras the far famed mnssnrro of Putcrloo, in
Manchester, during the Liverpool Administration.
Wo do not, howuver, believe that the military w. u|,|
now ho tho aggressors, ns they were on tiiat nccu.
sion. The ttaos have changed, and public opinion
would notfnilto brand with infamy thegnveninien 1
which would order tlio soldiery to tiro on it defence*
less multitude. All wo fear is thnt the “ Chinlists'
will tlnow tho first stone—Then the widows und o»-
phnti* will bewail their losses—then tlio intinrent
will not,, as they cannot, ho di*iingui*licd from the
guilty—then the felon's arm will strike us sure n
blow, as he who strikes for lihertv!

FROM TIIE MINUTES OF THE
PEAR CLUB."
Tills body, having resinned its Summer Sessions,
met, in pursuance to notice, nenr a certain cornfield,
not far front town, whore, in addition to the views
of public good thut called its members together,
the vicinity of dodciou* green com, or mailing ears,
witli tho appliances of n hot fire, butter, salt, u bus*
ket of Clinmpnigiic and it* quantum of ice, were
not lost sight of. Whether the “ green corn dance "
of our Seminole neighbors, nffonlud tlio Club a pro-
erdent, tv tlio wi«h to rccull iho a«soriiiiioiis of enr.
Her and happier days, suggested the place nnd
style of meeting, the Secretary do"s mil pretend to
say—ho has only to record tint proceedings. The
venerable President was seuted on a log, with n
huge watermelon between bis feel, when, bolding
an enr of roasted corn in Ids left band, bis right
forefinger and thumb grasping firmly n pinch of suit,
ho gracefully waved n token of silence nnd called
tlio club to order. Tlio members instantly formed
thcm-elvo* upon tlio turf into on ntteiilivu circle of
listeners, when tlio President in hi* graphic uud
pithy manner, explained tlio main object of tlio
tiieeiiug. He had soon, with u* touch surprise at
the fact, ns nt its contrnts, an original communi
cation to the Republican, signed “ Veritas," from
which one would suppose tlmt portentous events
were about to occur, nud thut a crisis no less than
tint of life nnd death threatened the community.
Ho did not know tho fads of the casoi.t all, hut
thought best to convutio the (-'lull tlmt the subject
might he discussed. It wus a highly iiiipoitunl
one, and if uxc'tenieut really exi-trri, oil should be
cast on the troubled waters of popular indignation,
llo left the matter open for debate uud snt down.
Bill w here 7 A Ins, the Secretary has to record a
mere matter of history, that having in bn excite
ment iii 'Vcd u little (ram his plnco. the worthy
President, in smiting him -i'll', inisriiteiilnlcd his dis-
tunro, nnd alighted upon ill * watermelon. This
lieing rather over ripe, could not #ii*iuiti tlio weight
of clmrncicr pressing upon It, ami it caved *n, pine-
i' g ilio chaii'iinn (if such ho could ho cnllori) in
no plonsant ptedlciunent. Yet did tlm dignity nnd
coldness of this oxci limit ninn not (1o»crl him on
this trying occasion, nnd being raised to a perpen
dicular position by tho oiliciou* kindness of his
friends, ho gazed calmly upon the wreck of his tub
Ion greatiin**, u* did Napoleon upon tho lost field
of Waterloo, till—tlio servant came with a napkin
to wipe the suut of his pantaloons. Order being re

to the importance of tlio subject broached with so
much feeling by Veiiitas, and wonld nmvo tiiat n
committee of three bn oulored to wait upon thnt
personage, witli tile tlinnks of the Club, for his
public spirit aud vigilance, and nt iln* satnn time
consult him as to tho best manner of keeping hint-
self uud tho public cool, about these days. They
might also plan an attack upon tho steamboats ply-
pig between this place aud Charleston, which would
bo quito as glorious nud usoful ns the battle of a
certain gcnllcinnn (Don Quixoto/by mime) with the
windmills, and of quite ns succcsmii a result. I le
opined, however, that tlio Don clidse cool weather

Tin* Inst eloquent speaker having tnken Ids sent

But to return to tho novel. Tlie plot (If plot tiiat
can he culled, tlmt pint lias none,) appears to be a
minor consideration in her Ladyship’s estimation,
compared with tlio pleasure of “ showing up" her
friends nnd ncquninluuco, uud is consequently Ilk e
an algebraic fraction, simplified to nothing. In tho
middle of the first volume, them is a mutuiil fal
ling in love got up between herself and “tho man of
honor," tho hero of the novel. This, of course, is
also a pngo lium hor Ladyship's real life, since be
sides according admirably with tho aristocratic cits-
tom hofbrohintud nt, wo could nntprostimo toduuht
tlio word of a Indy, who according to her own ac
count, (and who should know better) is vorj* little
short of perfection. Ho is of cuiirso represented
uu Apollo in form, n Mars In vulor, nml according
to our opinion a whole mythology in amatory temp
erament. And lierein is tlie great mistnke in the
dclinntion or the character, for in endeavoring to
nflbrtl a contrast to her husband, Lady Bulwcr lias
described a more creature of sonso. Love, so long
ns it continues a sentiment, fliiitidod on esteem nnd
n purity of thought nnd purpose, Im# in it nothing
ridiculous nrcontemptihlo; hut when ii is degraded
1**1° '> passion,—n sickly fevered creature, nourish
ed upon sanUinuntnliiy,—it becomes unfit even for
tlm pourtraying of n Novelist. Tlio character of the
Marquis ot Citevaloy, U nothing more than thnt ofn
limn elovuted by circumstances beyond the sphere
of lii* imtiir.il inclinations, aud whoso rink nnd edu
cation hit* taught him in somo degree, to refine a
sensuality into a sentiment with nspirihg oven to
the intellectuality of a Sybarite- Vo tin, Lady Dul-
w ar’s idea of u " hero."
A* to tlio style of the work, there is too much ef
fort displayed in its composition and hero nnd thorn,
nro sentences, which lead ii* to *u*|ioct that tha
iiiithorei.* has trimmed her lamp with,the dregs of
tlie oil left liy her sovereign ,'anl; for wc meet with
tlie same tricked up phrases, nud wordy nousimso
which Bulwcr would fain pass off lor pontioul phi
losophy, nnd over which many lmve stiipilied them
selves into wlmt they lieemed n comprehension of
lint which the iiiithor himself no more understands,
thtm did tho priests of tho Ancient Delphi tho urn-
higiiitio* they painted upon the ignorant ns oracles.
Tlicro is moreover an ostuntntion of learning in tho
book, almost disgusting. No ugo, c'imo, or hmgu*
ngn escapes;—ull nre ns familiar to lmr Ladyship
household words—from Erasmus down to Buz,—
nuy even poor, much uiiusnd Blaclutoim is tnndc to
contribute his quota to the second vohimo iu a
•(ring or sentences beautifully /ri-npprnprintq.
The iinv.'l however, wo confess, shows some de
gree of utuvcnioss, nud perhaps when the fovor of
lmr Ladyship's mgo is cooled, her next novol (for
thnt sho will write another is as certain ns tiiat ho
who onco cats opium will tusto it tiguln,) will bo
more worthy nfperusnl; hut it is equally probable
that tho exciting cause uf her wrath is also tlmt of
hur talent, nud that alio will never produce any thing
beyond a “ Fashionable Novol "
[communicated.] *
CIIEVKLEY," OR “THE MAN OF HONOR."
All the world sent* to have dccidrd, tlmt thi*
Novol is nothing more tlmu n record of certain do
mestic transactions, lately" cornu off" hoi ween La
dy Bulwcr nud her husband; or rather an expose
through the medium of a fiction of tlio cruelty of
n tyrannical liuslmnd in n-nl life. The hook cer
tainly appears at n peculiarly appropriate time,
whilst iliu separation of Sir Edwnid and ids wi.'o
is still among th^latesi on dits, and tho lining fa
mily likenesses between some uf tlie chursett rs of
the novel, and sundry personages not unkno • n in
tlie word, afford* good ground for tlio conjecture.
Otherwise we might have unsuspectingly classed it
among tho eph< m"rnl pioduciions called “Fa-li-
ionnhlo Novels," w hich profess to give un - ccuruto
account nf ilio state of aristocratic society in Eng
land, whore, if their record ha true, ii is the ustub-
linked custom for evuiy man to full in love witli
some one elso’s wife, and le:-vo his own to bo ia-
ken care of, by whatever buwhiskered, sonnet-scrib
bling; sent mentnlizing puppy, she may pleaso to
udrnil to her boudoir. There is, however, in these
pages, a caustic spirit of uuiversul maliciousness
toward evuiy thing and everybody which, nlthuugh
perhaps, for nuglu wc know, merely an exhibition
of genius under u new phase, savours marvHlous'
ly of u moil leminine pique, by somo ineuns or oili
er caus'd, nnd makes it highly probable thut tlio
hook is munnt ns a kind of safoly-vulvu to get rid
of a liitlo supoifluous spite, which might otherwise
ho dnngerous.
Tho first thing noticeable in thoso volumes, is the
description of the heroines supposed to he iho fair
nulhoms* herself, wherein the reader is left toenn*
elude, (although, he is not expressly told so,) that
she hns not only been loft as a ingucy, the girdle of
Vsnui, but is also possessed uf one capable of com
fi ning upon tlm mind and heart, sll those chirms
and celestial qunliilcs. which tha zone of tho sea
