All eyes appear to be turned to Ireland awaiting
with most intense anxiety the result of the movements
now going on there. The decided stand taken by
the Peel administration on the subject of Repeal does
net poem to have caused any abatement in the enthu
siasm of the Repealers, and we have accounts of their
meetings, large and email, in all parts of Ireland. It
is evident, however, that O’Connell the master
spirit of the cause - is moving with rather more
caution and circumspection. He does not deem it
expedient to push matters to extremes, as he knows
full well that the Irish people are very impulsive, and
are not yet prepared to push an actual revolution with
any hope of success. All the strong places are in
the hands of the foes to repeal. Meantime, it cannot
be concealed that the British Ministry, despite of an
affected calmness, are in a state of great alarm and
inquietude. With an income much short of what
was anticipated, and with almost a certainty of a still
greater falling off for the year to come, the Govern
ment is hardly prepared to meet the tremendous ex
penses always attending a civil war. Much reliance
is evidently placed u[>on the Queen's forthcoming
visit to Ireland, to soothe and soften down the appe
tites of the people; but whether such will be the ef
fect, depends upon circumstances which time alone
can develope.
Notwithstanding the absence of Mr. O’Connell
in the couhtry, where lie has been attending various
meetings, the Corn Exchange, Dublin, at the weekly
meeting on the 22J ult., was densely crowded, and
there was fully as much excitement as at any previ
ous meeting. The amount of “Repeal rent” was the
largest weekly return yet announced, having been
£709 lßsCd. This included several English returns,
and £133 from Clones, County Monaghan, where
the meeting of the Repealers was recently interrupt
ed by the Orange party, and a poor man named Mc-
CafTray was murdered. The meeting did not termi
nate until nearly six, but the large room was crowded
to the close.
All the Irish Forts, castles and battlements have
been inspected by a government engineer, and or
dered to be repaired and placed in a state of perfect
utility. Indeed, tho preparations of government are
such as would indicate that a civil war is not far dis
tant.
The latest Irish papers contain an account of a
melee between a party of Orangemen and a body
of Repealers, at Dungannon, on the 30th of May. A
bouse was raxed and many persons beaten, but no
lives were lost.
The departure of the Coal coaches from Dublin,
at 9 o’clock, on Monday night, was preceded by the
usual mob assemblage, with an acconqianimcnt of
yellings, groanings, &c. Some rioting subsequently
took place. Slones were thrown at the police and
the crowds were dispersed by the blue coats, who
used their batons lustily.
Spread of Itibandism. The Riband System has
lately been spreading to an extent in parts of the coun
ties of Dublin, Meath Langford, Cravan, and Mena
ghan. The Government, in consequence of informa
tion received, has instituted inquiries in the various
localities as to the progress of the system.
The repeal affair in Cork was very brilliant. It is
said that upwardsof 500,000 persons were congrega
ted on this occasion. A Cork paper says “The
procession alone occupied exactly three hours and
live minutes in passing the Liberator’s carriage, from
the higher to the lower road, when tremendous cheers
were given for the Liberator.
Military Positions in Ireland. The batteries at
Turhcrt have, unexpectedly, been reinforced by four
•additional pieces of artillery, and an additional force
of one officer and liftcen men is expected daily. A
man-of-war steamer went up the Shannon, on Fri
day week, with two thousand stand of arms for Lim
erick. Four other steamers were despatched from
the Tower for Ireland with arm3. We understand
that two man-of-war steamers will be stationed in the
Shannon —one at Turbert, and the other at Grass
Island. Kerry Keening Post.
Some Roman Catholic Bishops are about to pre
pare a prayer for the safety of Daniel O’Connell.
The troops stationed in Ireland will amount, in
June, to about 25,000 men.

Earl de Grey has officially intimated that, in the
present juncture of affairs in Ireland, his lordship
lias, fur the present, abandoned his intention of quit

Dr. Murray, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of
Dublin, has published a letter, disclaiming having
taken any part in the repeal movement, such as has
been ascribed to the whole of his brethren by Dr.
Higgins.
The Dublin Evening Post announces that five
more magistrates had been superseded. The total
number of magistrates superceded, on account of
nixing with the repeal agitation, is thirteen. Mr. R.
D. Brown, M. P., has addressed a letter to the Lord
Dhancrllor, resigning his commission, in order to

The Hague Journal announces that a species of
übmarine earthquake was lately felt in the dyke of

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28, 1843.
FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
JOHN C. CALHOUN,
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT:
IaEVI WOODBURY,
FOR GOVERNOR,
MARK A. COOPER, OF MURRAY.
FOR CONGRESS,
JAMES 11. STARK, OF BUTTS.
We marked llte birtli-day of our
Journal, by unfurling to the breeze
the broad banner of Democracy, and
inscribing upon its bright field the
stainless name of John C. Calhoun,
the American Aristides, as our First
Choice for President of the United
States; and for the Vice Presidency,
the name of that wise, honest and able
Statesman and unswerving Patriot,
Levi Woodbury, of New Hampshire:
Subject, of course, to the decision of a Na
tional Democratic Convention:
77te Delegates to be chosen directly
by the People —to convene at Balti
more, May, 1844, and there individu
ally express Faithfully, the will of
their Constituents. We ask but a fair
field and fair play —and then “ God
defend the Right”
AMERICAN DEMOCRAT.
The publication of a weekly, Political and Family
Newspaper, under that designation, has been recently
commenced in the City of Macon. It owes its origin
to the enterprize of a very few individuals, who with
out the slightest desire to derogate from the incVits, or
interfere with the interests of existing Journals, and
without the least expectation of personal advantage,
believed that an additional hand was needed in the
|io!iticul field of Central Georgia, to assist in maintain
ing the Constitution, the Union, the Interests and In
stitutions of the South, against those enemies, who
cither by open foree or insidious sapping, seek their
subversion. While we advocate our principles, opin
ions and preferences, and vindicate our friends whin
assailed unjustly, with earnestness and sincerity,
the Democrat will not forget the candor and couf
tesy due to honest and respectable opponents.
In truth the spirit and aim of our paper is that of
conciliating, reco iciling anil uniting all good men, in
one of the noblest tasks that man ever entered upon,
that of promoting the permanent prosperity and hap
piness of his country.
The Democrat, will ever he found on tho side of
Religion, Temperance, respect for the laws and social
improvement.
On these gr :unds alone, would we ask the patron
age of the public.
Those concerned with the Democrat having no
view of profiting themselves by that connection, can,
without indelicacy, call upon their brethren of the
Democratic party for their generous aid in procuring
advertising and promptly paying subscribers for the
paper —the expenses of the office, strictly economical,
as they are, are still heavy and must be met weekly.
We think too highly of the magnanimity and intelli
gence of the Democracy of Georgia, to believe they
will permit even so feeble a light as that of the Dem
ocrat to be extinguished for want of their fostering
assistance, or that any part of the ycar’sexpenditure,
will be left as a burden on the patriotic individuals
who originated it. The subscription is but Two
Dollars a year —one third less than the usual cost of
such a paper.
We regret that in the preference we give Mr. Cal
houn, we differ from some highly respected demo
cratic friends. We are all blameless they as well
as ourselves, exercise only the right of every free
man to form and express his opinion. No evil can
result from it —wo are all equally bound to support
the nominee of tile Convention—that tee shall do
whether the choice fall upon Van Burcn, Cass, or the
gallant, frank, kind-hearted old soldier of Kentucky,
the real hero of the battle of the Thames —R. M.
Johnson.
If the American people value their own union
and lasting prosperity, the seat of Washington, Jef
ferson, Madison, Monroe and Jackson, must never
again be desecrated by a Federalist.
Is Mr. Clay in favor of a Protective Tariff?
Wo thought it impossible that such a question
should have arisen, and doubtless would have contin
ued so to think, had not our easy serenity upon this
subject been somewhat abruptly broken in upon by a
respectable Whig gentleman, who informed us that
Mr. Clay was no longer in favor of the Protective
Tariff, and that Mr. Berrien, in his late Speech at tho
Whig Convention, had asserted as much. Tell it
not in Gath; proclaim it not in the streets of Ascalon.
Mr. Clay not in favor of a Protective Tariff? If we
have any knowledge of Mr. Clay’s past political ca
reer; if we 'have any knowledge of the various dcc
laraiions of political principles put forth at various
perioo's of his life, from 1807 down to the present
time, and of the principles advocated by the various
parties to which lie lias been attached; wc should
say without the hesitation of a moment, that Mr. Clay
was the head and front of the Protective policy.
The Father of the American System, (as has been
claimed for him with such exultation by his friends,)
which was the Protective System carried to its high
est point of intensity. Mr. Clay was a Protective
Tariff man in 1840 when and where has lie chang
ed ? Is the game of 1840 to be played uoon us ? Our
declaration is planted. Free Trade; Low Duties;
No Debt; Separation from Batiks; Retrenchment; i
And a Strict Adherence to the Constitution. Tell
us the rule by which you will go. Are you in favor
of a High Tariff; A National Debt; A National Bank?
An Aboli lion of the veto —the assumption of Slate
Debts. Can our friends of ihe Journal and Recorder
enlighten us on these subjects ?
Martin Van Rnreu, as a Candidate fur Xomi>
nation by ihe Convent on*
We observed in our last, we had much to say in
that gentleman’s favor.
Previous to the year forty, and particularly while
he was winding his way through the labyrinthine
politics of his native State, New York, we had no
ticed him less than any other public man—at the
critical period noted, (the year forty,) a sense of duty
induced us to trace his course through the councils
of his own State, as well as those of the nation, and
that research led us to the conclusion, that though
often changing those he acted with, his career, al
lowing for a few aberrations, had been that of a Jef
fersonian Democrat.
His mind, though not of the first, second, or per
haps even of the third order, yet his abilities and bis
attainments as a jurist, are exceedingly respectable,
his tact his “ Savoir faire” probably Unrivalled.
His character as a man of honorable integrity, un
sullied and irreproachable his amenity of deport
ment in social intercourse surpassed by none. Mr.
Van Burcn is truly an extraordinary man.
Without the advantages of wealthy connections,
or what arc usually called “ commanding talents, or
force of character,” and seemingly, without any re
markable activity, be has quietly made his way not
only to the possession of great wealth honorably at
tained, but to the highest honors in the gift of a free
and mighty nation. But what is more remarkable
still, is, that in the state of New York, whose politics
are far more entanglciT— more disturbed by conflicti
ing interests,than of any other in the Union,and in tho
teeth of hosts of talented and eager competitors, vet
erans in party tactics, Van Buren was always suc
cessful himself, the while, little observed in the
movements that ensured him the victory.
In the management of political parties, Mr. Van
Buren has exhibited not merely talent, but genius
—he may fairly be considered the Tallyrand of A
merica.
Wc have no idea that to produce results in his own
favor, Mr. Van Buren resorted to any means, not fair
and reputable. We simply intended to show, that
dextrous address, caution and prudent non-commit
tal, were the strong points in his character and sys
tem, and (lie principal cause of bis singular success.
Should the steadiness, with which he endeavored
during his Presidency, to carry out the views of Gen
Jackson’s administration, be thought to militate, we
reply that while in intimate association with Jackson,
the feebler nature of the former became invigorated,
and as it were mesmerized by the loftier and more
powerful nature of the lion-hearted chief of the Her
mitage, and before this verifying influence had
ceased, the difficulty between Calhoun and himself,
was fortunately adjusted, and Van Burcn again be
came influenced by a master mind nor should the
advantages Van Burcn’s administration derived from
the sustaining and exciting counsels of Col. Butler,
be omitted, nor the difficulty experienced in screw
ing Van Euren’s courage up to the adoption of the
Sub Treasury System. In the Democratic Review,
published shortly after that event, an interesting
account is given of the two hour’s conversation in
the woods, beta een him and Col. Butler, before he
(Van Buren) could make up his mind to so bold and
decided a step he at length resolved for that his
country owes him gratitude.
The plan itself, was with no essential difference,
that of Jefferson and Jackson it worked admirably
in practice, and with slight amendments, would be
one of the greatest blessings that could be conferred
on this country. In ordinary limes, Mr. Van Burcn
would make a good President, but lie is not the man
for the crisis.
Mr. Van Buren’s temperament, his deficiency in
moral nerve, boldness, energy and inflexibility of
purpose, unfit him for the leading and guiding spirit
in the Waterloo struggle that is approaching.
A etruggle on whose issue will depend whether
the Union of these United States, honestly and im
partially administered, shall continue to bless the
people, “ while the earth bears a plant, or the sea
rolls its waves,” or ere many yeara pass away, the
beautiful structure be shattered into hostile frag
ments— whether Federalism shall triumph and De
mocracy lie prostrate at its feet whether the Re
publican freemen of ibis mighty nation shall still be
sovereign, and continue to govern themselves as
they have hitherto done, or become the humble vas
sals of a scrub nobility, a cotton-spinning and power
loom aristocracy, eked out by money changers,
swindling stock jobbers, office holders, and their re
tainers. Let every free man, who loves his country
better than a silly nick-name who wishes to pre
serve his Liberties, the Constitution and Union of
that country inviolate, gird up his loins and brace
his spirit for the great contest, and solemnly vow
that he will no longer be a Partizan but a Patriot.
Celebration of St. John’s, 2ltli inst, by the
Craft, in the City of Macon,
We visited the Lodge, for the first time on that
occasion, and certainly never witnessed (not even
in the Scotch Lodges, famous for the purity in which
these, from the earliest times preserved the tradition
of th? order,) a stricter observance of the etiquette of
Ancient York Masonry. Every Master Mason was
in his place, duly equipped, plying the working tools
of his station, with skill and assiduity.
Though a hundred brethren were present, not a
sound was heard but that of the gavel, or the voice
of the rightful superintendants of the work.
The scene was impressive and affecting, to see so
large a number of men with the usual share of fail
ings and infirmities common to our nature, leaving
in the outer world their prejudices and antipathies,
and meeting together on the square of Truth and
of Justice, and the broad level of Benevolence and
good brotherly kindness towards each other and all
mankind.
The work of the Lodge being assiduously and skil
fully performed, the brethren at the well known sig
nal from the East, were called from labor to refresh
ment, and forming a procession, (exceeding in num
ber and respectability any wc have before noticed in
this section of the country,) in Masonic older, at
tended Divine worship at the Episcopal Church.
The service was concluded by a Sermon and an
Address to the Craft, by the Rev. S. G. Bragg, both
breathing the Piety and Benevolence characteristic
of that good Samaritan.
The music, both vocal and instrumental, were of a
superior order, and the whole came off with that qui
et order, and moral dignity, that should ever accom
pany Masonic movements.
Wc are happy to sec Masonry again rising above
the clouds of detraction and dclitnation, which, for a
time obscured its brightness. Surely an association
eulogized by Jno. Locke, and enrolling in its records,
George Washington, Nathaniel Green, the good La
Fayette, Pulaski, Kosciusko, and the wisest King
France ever boasted, Louis Philippe, with a thous
and other glorious names, could never have been
the tissue of wickedness and folly, the infamous
Morgan conspirators painted it. Fortunately that
miscreant knew little about the matter, and his pre
tended disclosures, were discredited, to every can
did and honorable mind, by the fact that lie was a
perjured wretch the whole is now understood to
have been an atrocious pecuniary speculation.
We are rejoiced to learn from a Tennessee paper,
that the aged hero of the Hermitage has again ral
lied and been able to make a visit to his friends in
Nashville.
The Pre-ideut.
We learn with profound regret and anxiety, that
President Tyler, lay seriously, if not dangerously ill
in Boston at the date of the last intelligence.
Death of the llou. Hugh 8. Legate,
We learn with deep regret that this eminent schol
ar and jurist, died in Boston, on the 29th inst. of in
flamation of the intcstiucs —in his demise, South
Carolina has lost one of her brightest ornaments, and
his coun'ry one of her most valuable citizens —we
could dwell with pleasure, on the high and amiable
qualities of the deceased, his great attainments in
politics and eminence as a writer, but the voice of
Carolina will do him better justice. We mourn with
her the loss she has sustained, and, although Mr.
Legarc was our political adversary, we have] a tear
to spare for his premature fate, and a wreath of cy
press and laurel for his grave.

ing on hand and on shipboard, a slock of 13,273 bales Upland
and 354 do. Sea Island. i
The market has been steady throughout the week, with bu
a moderate demand, and that has been confined almost entirely
to purchases for Northern manufactories The principal sales
have been of ordinary and Middling: other qualities not being
in any request. We continue our former quotations, as the
prices paid are within the range of former quoted rates:

The above remarks apply to the transactions up tn the close
of business last evening, at which lime fifteen days later ac
counts from Europe, per Columbia at Iloston, were received
in advance of the mail by the steamboat Charleston, from
Charleston. These advices bring Liverpool dales of 4th inst.
and Havre of 27th May, and represent both those markets as
being in nearly the same condition as last reported. 3he de
mand in the Liverpool market had been steady, with light sales
to speculators, but closed dull and languid at previous quota
tions. 3 lie sales for the week ended May 2G, were 23,810 bales,
of which 20,299 were American; week ended June 2, :5,623,
23,310 American. The total slock on hand June 2, is estimated
at 838,600, of which 659,308 are American; same lime last
year, 008.740, of which 430,350 were American: thus showing
an excess of American Cotton this year over last of 2tX),150
bales.
We have not heard of any operations this morning, but from
the tenor of the accounts, we do not amisipate any change of
prices in consequence of the late news. The sales of Upland
for the week ending Thursday evening, amount to 1171 bales
at the following prices; sat 5 1-4 ;45at 4 3-8; 150 at 5 1-2;
60 at 5 5-8; 231 at 53-4; 248 at 5 7-8; 59 at 5 15-18; 157 at 6 ;
114 at 6 1-8; 80 at 6316 ; and 19 at 6 s’B cents. We heartl of
but few small sales of Sea Island, viz: 11 bales white at 15; 6
at 16; and 12 Stained at 5 cents.
|t ICE.—3 here has been a better demand for this article, and
a slight advance is asked, which buyers seem willing to pay.
The sales that have coine under our notice amount lo 245 tier*
ces, as follows: 15 at 1 1-2; 20 at 2; and 210 at #2 1-1 per 100
lbs. There have been no exports to foreign ports this week.
FLOUR —The recent arrivals have supplied all the wants
of the trade, and we cannot notice any change in prices. 90
bbls Howard street sold at <6, and small lots of other qualities
within the range of our quotations.
CORN.—Tlie cargo which arrived from Baltimore this week
was not offered until iu store, and is now selling at 70 a 75 cts
by retail.

one lot of 100 bundles at 75, and 200 do. at 70 cts. per 100 lbs-
GROCERIES —We have no large sales to report this week,
and only a moderate business to the city trade. Cuba Coflee

Prime Pork at #9 a 10; Mess do. at til a 12.
• BACON. —The sales this week have been quite limited, with
large imports. 3 here is no change in prices.
SALT —The ship Franconia, from Liverpool, arrived yes
terday, with 1580 sacks, but i: has not yet been disposed of.
Our quotations are the last sales.
BsOGIN’G. —The planters from the interior will find as
good an assortment of Bagging in this market as they can
well desire, as the Factors have laid in, and are now receiving
Dundee, Gunny and Kentucky of all qualities. Our quota
tions show a considerable reduction from last year’s prices,
and to them we would refer for present rates, though they
may be somewhat changed when the fall business opens.
EXCHANGE.—We have no change to notice in the rates of
either sterling or domestic Bills.
FREIGHTS. —Foreign are almost nominal. There is noth
ing going forward to Havre or the continent, and the shipments
of Colton to Liverpool are very small. The ship now loading
is filling up slowiy at former quoted rates, 3-8 and 7-l Cd.
Coastwise arc more active, but the great number of vessels up
for Northern ports, keeps tiie rates at former prices; say 73
cts. a ti per bale for Cotton and 50 cts. per cask for Rice to
New York, and SI a $1 25 per bale for Colton to Boston.

NEW-YORK MONEY MARKET.
TUESDAY, JUNE 20-6 F. M
The stock market is heavy ; sales are not large, and prices
although firm, do not materially vary. The packet yesterday
brought several lots of State stocks, which were ordered front
this side on speculation, as the rapid rise offered a Urge mar
gin. There were many more orders that could not be filled,
because the disposition to hold is coeval with the orders. Some
of the New-York stocks illegally loaned to corporate compa
nies have also been returned, owing tn the neglect of the Legis
lature in not acknowledging them and confirming their validi
ty by a two-third vote, when their a’ tention was called to it by
Col. Young. The Wall st. press endeavored to make abuse of
that officer answer for justice to the stockholders, and the result
is loss of confidence in those stocks. The rumor in reUtion to
the taking of the United Slates Loan, by Hope, te Cos. is not
