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. Almost every door in the city has chalked upon it, or Blood I” — Cork Constitution. Mr. O’Connell will not leave Ireland to attend his parliamentary duties before the 10th of June. 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 ting the seat of government. 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 snjoy the right of public discussion. England. Extensile Failure. A fiat of bankruptcy has been rpened against Messrs. John and George Clarke, of Market Harborough, and Ropemakcr street, London, extensive carpet and rug manufacturers. They are ndebted to Messrs. J, & 11. Goddard, bankers, Mar ret Harborough, who are gazetted as bankrupts, up wards of -£90,000, and other debts and liabilities arc fated to be more than .£IOO,OOO. The failure of his house is said to lie the cause of the failure of the llarket Harborough bank. The debts and liabilities if the bank are stated to exceed £200,000, and the Waitable assets about £IIO,OOO. The Hague Journal announces that a species of übmarine earthquake was lately felt in the dyke of he sea at Blokzyl. Suddenly this wide piece of taler, which is about 30 feet deep, become violently gitated, and spouts were thrown up at different parts j the height of six feet above the surface, with a loise that lasted seven or eight minutes. The lake <hen subsided again into its usual calmness, b ut the iWater continued for a long time to be turbid. Du ring the two days preceding the phenomenon, up wards of 1,000 lbs. of eels were caught in the lake. H The Augsburg Gazette publishes the following very Improbable story from a letter dated Cairo, 21st ult., Hating that two ships laden with slaves had been by British cruizers in the Red Sea, in the aptitude of Sanukcn, and that the captains of the Mips had been hanged at the main mast. The two were escorted (the bodies of the two captains hanging from the main mast) by the British Hfnizer and the slaves set at liberty. This example Msaid to have intimidated the slave merchants. Globe states that the Vigie, French brig of Br, has captured on the western coast of Africa,and ■P'Ught into Goree, an English vessel laden with for the West Jndi-s. German Universal Gazette publishes a letter ®m Rome of the Cth ult., mentioning that an insur- movement had taken place at Benevente, that the delegates and authorities had been ob- Mr ' to seek refuge in the citadel. | ■fioiirfim Money Market, June 3.

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.

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.

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.

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 generally believed. There is but little doubt, however; that some arrangement has been made, as on the Ist proximo, the money is wanted to pay the #8,000,000 of Treasury notes which then fall due. The stock will go abroad from the pres ent appearance of things, and will add so much to the amount of money lo be drawn from Europe in addition to the new crops. These elements with the July dividends, Will form an immense addition to money thrown into the market to be ab sorbed by the sound stocks. Kentucky 6’s rose 1-4; Canton fell 1-4; Harlem 14. At the new Board U. S. 6’s fell 3-8; Kentucky 1-8; Illinois rose 3-8. The trade of the whole U. 8. was never before on so firm a basis as now.
