AN ANSWKR TO "A LLIQATOR'8" EPISTLE.
■T *l» AMQUATUUTOR.
I bad almoit forgot ** old Savannah, M
When the pigeon unburJened iu wing;
And I opened the neat printed « Georgian,"
And mw that our ’GATOR could sing.
And than was the ’domical token
Of who thia cracked poet could be;
1 knew who be wm that "could waken"
The ljrte of "old Chatham" for m«.
Come, do not reproach llioso who’ro absent,
They lore you—would blazon your name,
On the towering column of glory,
Which waa built for tho onnnla of Fame!
Bat, yet let me a<v all your charge*,
And try if I can’t fling them bark ;
Although aince I’re aailed in ateum bargoa,
At acribbling I am a "more hock."
For know, Sir, that Southern banllinga
la Albuma are forcod to indito 5
And then, at I'm called a poor rhymester,
My wita are all foundered in spite.* 1
Tet think not that I um too saunry,
Bccaum that I'^portivo and flnsh;
Oh, no! though I hopo that aunt Nancy,
Will ne'er depriro A’ery of cash.
The "tnlcnu" you aay tint we'ro wasting,
Alai ( that wo linve nono to spend ;
Why, every ono hero calls us boobies,
Unless when ict meet witk a friend.
That friend—ho can praise our old claret—
Our Hock, or our othur ftno wine;
But in secret, I tell you, old scaly,
That at no other time can we thine.
The " talents " got rid of—tho money
Seems next to have bothered your Ituad {
Come, be not too anxious, my honey,
Or how, when you speak of tho dead.
Money I Why devil a sixpence
I’ve handlod thcao blessed two weeks;
But patiently wait for remiitanco
From my factor—old Gabriel Brekks !
Tbo "time" my gny brute, that you talk of,
I opino is a mere baggatelle;
Nay, I deem it is bolter to walk off
To tho Falls, than to trot o(T to "jail!"
For, Oh, brother bard, yeti should know it,
That lew lcavo your city of health,
But those who’ro confoundedly hard up,
And are lacking in that thing culled wealth.
Tbo " dune!wlww! I'm dunned by u tailor,
Ho lives, I am luld, in Droudwny:
But the waiter, good clmp, onco a sailor,
Knows how to drive lubbers awuy!
Amphibious ! keep dark about " labour.”
For what gentleman thinks about work t
Can it be, you'vo become a bod nuighlmur,
A man who I ne’er thought a Turk I
8ome men are tho Diekent\ at drinking,
And other good fellows can dig ;
Some others do well whilo they’re thinking,
But for my part, I'd much mthcr $»ig.\
A» to " patience," my Ally, ho quiet,
Boo t trouble your brain about nought,
For, if you had to llvo nn our dint.
I'd not value your body a groat.
Can you bolt down your food, without ekt wing!
Can you awallnw molasses wholesale t
Can you wait whilo tho cidor Is brewing—
If you eon, then your "putlencu " won’t fail.
Now who cares tho toss of a button,
About dun* any day in tho year?
IVoJuit dined offa good leg of mutton,
AndNArot,coN| has washed down thoclicer.
Do you think I care when it is paid Curt
Ah, I am not so vulgar by half |
But I know that good Sherry was inudo for
The drinking of ono whu’s no calf.

We translate from the Diario del Gobiarnn, of

" To the minister for foreign affairs,
On board the U. 8. Cutter, Woodbury, in the port
of Vera Crux, May 0, 1830.
Sin—Being charged with important communica
lions to your gotciument, I have demanded of his
excellency the commandant at Vera Crus, the no-
cessnry facilities for ilmir transmission tolho honor*
ublrt Secretary of 8 ale. As I am not aware that
General Victoria will grant me the permission I
have asked, I profit by the mail which leaves for
Mexico, to inborn you that I asn the bearer of such
propositions from Texas, as, I have no doubt, will
tie accepted by the niollior country. I should be
happy if you would have tho kindness to make it
known to II. E.,tlm President of the Republic, ilm
f.ct of my arrival here, assuring him of tho b'gli
consideration hi which I hold him, and of the pain

" He has endeavored to prevent the population

others to encourage tlieir migration hither, und rais

The (Ireencshorn' (Alabama,) Republican, nn

mint rebuke to the Sat ice American Association. It
ugieess't well with our expressed opinions, that wo
submit it touur renders without further comment:—
Wo have received n pamphlet address of the
L-niisinnn Native American Association to the citi- I
roil * of Lo'isiauii nnd of tlm United .States guncrully
witli n ivipieat to make extra is in our paper nnd
f rivnr-1 n copy to tlm President of xu d assouintiou,
Cob Win. Christy, of New Orleutis. Not tlm least
notion of it. Wo hove not timo to examine its hmv
wow pages, though wo may do it licreufter; hut this
much wo fuel convinced of, thnt such associations
are doiignud In deprive America nfitsntist glori
ous, its holiest title, of " asylum of the oppr. ssed
that these illiberal appeals to national prejudice
alien from iliu spirit of our instituti ns, insulting to
the memory of our forefathers, iqjurimu to tlm in
crease of our population, and a sweat morsel to the
mime of I ireigu despots, mid tho enemies of popu-
nr sovereignty through mttho world. Wo have no
doubt that tlm exiled countrymen of Emmett (for
tlioy are exiled whose very lireud is stinted by taxes,
monopolies uud uu abhorred priesthood,) may he
guilty of occasional excesses in a city election, when
all parties nnd individuals are more or less swuyed
from tlieir propriety by the excitements of the scene.
But • hat they lire atone rhurgenblo with these im;-
i ulnriiies, these very assueiutions are to us abundant
c i *pn>of. Attempted tn he made suhserviout to the
views of tho friends of prugmulient legislation, of
thn.o voiy principles of pretended protection, nnd
olfieioiis regulation, wldch expatriated them from

stant subjects of invective and ridicule. Are tlieir
skirts clear, therefore, who good them into these
impni'leiioo*; w ho set them thcexumplcof combina

Wo treat with c mtempt the mighty bugbear
which these Whig alarmists have created—that tho
destinies of the Atm-rican nation are exposed to the
dangers of Irish domination, l'slu! shall we waste
roar time, reader, in hul ling up to your view the
tread absurdity of the proposition f Does not the
worm oloqitouco of Erin animate tho patriotism of
oar States f Stains not tho blood of Ireland every
battlo-Arld of our glory ? Who of ye all. proud sons
of Columbia, can strike his unit and swear thnt
taint of tltis vile stream infects his veins. Away!
away, thon, with this indignity to our fathers' graves;
tills miserable offspring begotten hy factious cun
ning. upon grovelling prejudice! Ine inclusion, we
will mention the fact, that when the Whigs lose an
election in the North, they are accustomed to say
‘no wonder; they get all the Irish:’’ and when tho
Dunot-ruts are wont to cry, "not surprising-thev
had all tho Negroes." Which is the most objection-
ab.o charge, in these parts, let our readers decide.

within which it is established, is ulono responsible,
anJ with which neither tills Legislature, nur the

teilore.

with the avowed design of overthrowing tho inslit it-
{ion of number Stato, by sending emissaries, scatter

CIRCULAR.
FBM.mv.Ct rums: Interested like yours Ives
iu tlie cidtiviitiu t and disposal of iliu gi't’iit stnple of
Auit'ricun ugricultuiv nnd caininen-e, we have acci
dent liy met in this city, iu the midst of a or sis
.which discloses some striking y momentous features
in tho history of this most important brunch of tho
tfudo of our country.
hen the Cotton Crop of the United States wnsn
mere item iu its trade, nml did not n-iich n prothic-
tiun oxcucdiug live loindivd ihonsiuid huies, it wus
perhnps sufo to con-idcr it us one uitvmg many ar
ticles of hurt, r uud exchange, which, left entiivlv
to the fortuitous cireiiiiistaures of coumieree, would
li"d its level under tho influence of the ordiuury
laws of trade, without the necessity of resorting to
uny means of precautionary prelection
limes, however, have changed. Cotton has
faissed from the condition of u mere article uf Com
merce, to the performance of the mighty function of
being in n great degree tlie regulator of the ex
changes, und the standard of value of our country.
If tlie nature of this material forbids its entering
into our circulation, it is »ctireoiy less the basis of
our currency, than the precious mctuls; for the
fluctuations iu its price ure felt with a sensibility
equally as ucute null searching, us uuy of thusc varia
tion* whii-li belong to tlie demand nnd supply of
these sensitive und mysterious tokens of national
value.
Tlm production of this stnple, ha* now become
so immense, tlmt it behooves tliose wlm produce it
hy n large investment of capital ut n high rate of
incidental cost, and in n climate perilous to humnn
health, to consider well, whether there are not
some material circumstances in reference to th»
mode in which this product of tlieir Inlwris shipped
from this country, nnd is brought to market ai the
point of its finals >ie and cuusuinptioii, which de
mand the application of a prompt nnd effective
tions on the part of the pUntrrs, Um manufacturer
and tho merchant, unless tho price be natural. It
is consequently the interest of these throe cltssot*
tlmt tin- aiticle should Im protected, on Um ono
hand from any grant and undue speculative action,
which might inflate prices above the natural rate
—nnd on tho other, from nny derangement in the
money mnrki-t, nr any other accidental ennso,
which might depress it below that rate. The of-
fix t of great nisi undue speculation l*eing to derange
the iifoncy market, and to produce reaction, with
un undue depression of prices.
3. The stute of tlm currency mainly depends on
tlie menns which the country possesses, to pay its
foreign ilubt, by shipments of its produce. To tho
extent its produce ..r manufacture falls short of
tlmt object, exports of specie ntny he induced, the
efli'Ct of which miol ho u reduction of tho circula
tion, w ith depreciation of property und general dis
tress.
4. Cotton, in this country, being hy far tho most
important produce, and affording die grout m mis
of paying its foreign debt, it is the interest of tlm
ciinmi'Oiity, and particularly of the monied institu
tions, that the prire of it iu England, (the great
ninrket,) slmuld ho steady, and thut the article
should bn of current sale, so us to bo tho moans of
large and effective remittance. It follows, thut t':o
inn rest of the hanking iusliiiitioii* here, are the
sumo ns ihosoof tlie three classes tir-t mentioned,
namely, that tlie price should be natural, thnt it
may be stendy, nnd of easy realirnlion.
3. Tlm interest of tlm British Government, of
lii« lla:tk of England, und of tlm banks of that coun
try in respect to this article, are tho sumo ns tlio
interests uf tlm hunks here. The importation there
being inunenm, aud tlm employment of a most
numerous body of tlio I ihnriug classes, depending
on the steadiness of prices. When tli-y ure nut
steady—tlie fm-eiga demand for maiiiifactured cot
ton is reduced greatly, tlm operatives are thrown
•ml of employment, and the great menus of settling
tlm hahuen of trade, without tlm exportation of the
precious inetds ure withdrawn. Manufactured
c-ittou.s aft'.tiling bv fur, tlie in >st important brunch
of their export trade.
(i C ns.-qnei.tly any arrangem -nt ih it coni I ho
f .rmed, hy wldcli tlm ar.lelo would hu protected
iron lilt* effects of undue speculation, nml from do-
pr-ssion in tlm money market and by winch sirndi.
n.-ssof price, will*cinr.Ji.cy „f site, would b>- pun
orated—would save some of rim greatest und be-t
in inn's is in Imili countries.
7. It is therefore proposed tofi'im u system li
which, with the c.iminemonieni of tlm new enq
a Ivaiices on Cotton sliiil im made wiili th: cap'll
iircrvdit of Bnuks here, theieby relieving tlm
siguen iu Eunqie from nil cure or consideration,
C pt the iidvautiigeoii* s ile uf lii* stock, wide
would I'Minole all the-u interests, and afford gon*
erul sniiofictiomm both sides of tlm water, provided
il were not made the menus ordirec ly nr indirectly,
ofun loo speculation nr monopoly. .
Having thu* indicated ilm principle* on wldch
the proposed system nn, t find its ju-liiicaiion and
hnsis, tvo will n-w assiici-iacily ns possible, detud
tho in i ins ofcmyiiig il into effect.
We ure lar from imputing tray premeditated
hostility of tlm Bank of E .gland in American in
terests: o.i thecontrary, it is o e of the benevolent
influence* of comonnciul inierc-mse, to promote
peace nml good wiil uniting nations and men.
Hence litis great engine of tlm commercial grnii'
deur nod opulence uf Greut Britain, acting uud'*r
nn uulighteiii'd instinct, must rather desire lint its
be-t cu«'o:imr slioiftl at ull lime* bv* in a condition

1 his lelioiv citumis, is hut the brief outline of
schi'ino, for the protection of our Conimotv
amice, mid Excltuiiges, the d.-tuils of which, inu.i
ho left fiir pi'id.iun ' dehh ration, and coiict ited ac
tion. lo accomplish this objwct we hereby invito
K
miily. In one word, i* not the import nut fact dis- *be planters, fuctois nnd cotton tneici.ants of each
closed, tlmt such is tlm unwieldy amount of this
great staple of Southern industry, that it cannot Im
sent tin ward and disposed of ut fair remunerating
pr ecs, through tlm onliimry medium of the mercan
tile establishment, of this country and in Europe,
without the direct co-ipcration of our bunking in
stitutions? If we liive become satisfied of this
fact, ought we not to organise a system, which shall
give perfect security to this great interest in the
commerce and finances of our coun ry ! The un-
wi-e and ruinous sv.-ti-m of sending ttm crop for-
wnni to houses of cUvumscribed means, on tlio
o her side of the water, who are incapable of hold
ing their consignments mi hour bevomi tlie maturity
of the bills drawn against such shipments, subjects
in fact, nearly tlie whole amount of American inte
rests to foreign combination, wbicli might act, not
only with cm ire concert, Imt with a |>erfect know
ledge of tlio period, when from tlm maturity of the
acceptances in qu- otion, property to a stiqa-ndous
amount belonging to Uii> country, may be ready for
•acriti' o.
Tim great atiJ vital change which must he «po-
rated, is to sustain American interest*, by American
credit. To renliie ut home, the resource# necessary
for the protection of our property abroad, without
tho necessity of large und iuconvonieut draft* on
tlm capital and means of our great customer. In
otlmr word*, tlm coinraen iul reform we desire, is
to send our great staple to market, without the pe
riod being determined by the date of a Dili of Ex
change, when it is to he brought forward fur abso-
lute and unutvoAsary sacrifice. We klievo that
tho stea.lintws in price, which would result ftum a
portion, *t h'tt-t, of the Cotton crop living exempt
tiom the disiutro'l# fluctuations aiioiug from coin-
pulsorv sale*, would in the uud, he scurrely less
valuable to tlm spimmr’and rousuumr in England,
than to lho grower ami shipper Imre, A lact,’
which we think demuosirahja trout tha following
postulates, which wt consider altogether *a|f-«>f.

I. Tha natural nrlc* of Cotton is tk effect of
tha fair natural influanre of ropply tn.1 denuml.

• Tueioat, July 16.
Trial of Ezra White, for the murder of Fits-
piitriek.
This trial, which commenced on Wednesday of
iuit week, terminated yesterday evening. Tho fol
lowing is a brief analysis of tho cose :—
"On tlie night of tho 13th of February last,a man
named Lawrenco Gaffney, who hod recently com
menced keeping <t public houso in Bro.inm-streat,
i ivited some friends to a house-warming. About
o'clock in the mot nine, while hi* company were
dancing and amusing themselves, tho prisoner and
three other young* men went into iho h«u*o unin-
vitvd, and two uf them walked into a back room
where tlio greater part nf Gaffney'* friend* were.—
The prisoner had scarcely entered the houso when
on-* of Gnffnev’s friend* suggested to the prisoner
and hi* friend* that they were intruding, and tlm
ri«aiMi replied, " I canto here to make a muss, and
il go when 1 d—n ti|oa»e."
Gaffney, wlm wu* titen standing behind hi* coun
ter, learml an affray would take place between the
•artie*, and came Irom imhind the counter with the
Mention of inieqm«ing Imtwcon tlmtn. Almost at
tlio *amo moment th# prisoner mode a pu«h at one
of Gaffney’* party nnoted MeLany, and tho latter
pus! * -* * * * * 1
and

bo a watchman, cWd tbo door, which opened Into
tho street. The prisoner immediately pushed the
door partly opon again, and thrust in Ids band with

>nd .(. II parti, piulKd open b, the primocr, who
repeated Uie same manoeuvre with bis hand. Ia a
moment or two after, the door was opened by some
person iniido, mid ono of Gaffney'* party, named
Viunatrick, stepped on tho stoop, and was insUally
stabbed hy tlie prisoner, in the groin, and fell to the
ground tn><rta]|y wounded, mid died shortly after.
Tho prisoner uud Id* companions then ran away,
aud the ensuing day thu prisoner and one of his
companion* of tlio night Lefnrc, fled from this city
iu tlio steamboat to Boston, from whonce they in-
leudod to go to Charleston, hut were pursued by
iho police, and arrested ut Boilun, and brought
bnck to New York.
There was a good deal of contradictory evidence
us to the description of clothes worn by tho prisoner,
on the night of tho murder, nnd as to whether Im
had or hml not been roughly treated by some of
Gaffney’s friends, not including Fitzpatrick, before
hn wu* pul out of the houso. But tha evidence
showed most indisputably that tho prisoner had
killed the deceased, in tho manner wo have de
scribed, und thu only question which admitted of
any doubt wus as to what was the legal degree of
crime which tlio homicide amounted to.
Jude Ingli*,in a charge of mure than three hours’
lengih, minutely summed up tlio evidence, and with
grout perspicuity pointed out tho different circum
stances which rendered homicide murder or man-
slaughter in it* difforent degrees:
Council for the prisoner took several exceptions
to his honor’s charge.
The jury retired, nml ufter an absence of nearly
four hours, brought in u verdict of wilful murder.
"Hook upon the establishment of the Independ
ent Treasury Sy-tom, as an event which, sooner or
laici, must itikn place, but it mny bo that another
’suspension' mit-tbe added to tlio argument before
it ran be carried ."
Tha above passage from a recent letter by Mr.
Bentin, is calling forth comm nit from a number
«f whig newspaper writers, who by thoir remarks
upon it, give evidonui'S either of malignant tuugery,
or ofu auqiidity whirh proves them quite unfit lor
tlieir pushpin. They assert that Mr. Bentiott
riiroaii'm ih.i coumiy w.tli another suspension—
that hn and the friends of the ii'lmini-tration arts
plotting a panic und a pressure to aid them in car-
tying a particular measure of policy. Tlie Salem
G.ixi-lte says iliat the sontenco above quoted," din-
c| ises a mist-hcvi'ius and disaholiciil design;" anil
similar phr.tsi's ui-o made use nf in reference to ihe
same matter ull over the 'Gauntry.' Many of our
n wspnpcrs aro sufficiently reckless, but we .have
rarely seem u nn r • glaring und at *h«- s tme time a
more malicious purvi-r-iun of a man’s moaning than
is hero exhibited. Mr. Bcn'im inieud- to say,'and
we think docs say, plainly cnougn ( thnt it is his
opinion that sooner or inter n divorce of Bunk end
Stale will boa popular measure,though perhaps,
another crises mny occur In-fore the pooplo will Le
tlmi ought v convinced of tho necessity of such a sep
aration. There is nothing liken throat about the
m.iiti'i—nothing more then n supposition,tlmt specie
payments may possibly through speculation and
vicinu* banking, be ngnin suspended. If to say this
ho a sin, il is no mure thnu what Mr. Webster
was himself recently guilty of iu the Senate Cham
ber, when ho u ld"d to Mr. Buchanan’* intimation
tlmt stn li an event wns not very far off, tlmt "hn
ihniiglit so too." These >vhig pei verters of men’s
word* should explain to ils hy what prnross t he go
vernment, or Mr. Benton cuo bring ulmut it sus
pension. The inialiisopeiuinli is not perceptible.
