A nd, the question of avail ty is the princ'pat one to lie decided; indeed, ilicola” seems to regard it as the only one; for ills us that the division in the Democratic ranks i,at arise “from any variance about principles leisure —not from any misunderstanding of the ire, design, and purpose of the Federal Oonstitu ” and, s leaking of the Republican candidates, he “doubts not, each would make a good Pres ir, Van Buren was elected to succeed Gen. Jack et a period when the United States were em i '.iliv “prosperous and happy,”—when trade and nerce were thriving and flourishing; and til. ts of the General Govern nent were lull to over- H.ving. lie had just taken his seat when a revul Bn ca ne, that destroyed our prosperity and happi i). s. prostrated trade and commerce, annihilated the of the Treasury, reduced our Government til State of absolute bankruptcy, and spread ruin at dismay throughout the whole Union It is not Hnssiry to enquire turn what causes produced this BuiUion, or lo dooitfo whether it is chargeable to the B xiuistrations of Gen. Jackson and Mr. Van Bu ■ „r tiie result of the course of policy and finan- | ci condition of other countries. Suffice it to bum j tJs this piosperity did exist when Mr. Van Buren Bis elect'd, that this revulsion did happen at tile out- Bt of his administration, and that tiie people have I ered under its withering effects from that day to without any relief from legislative proceedings. His, these tilings did happen and produced an “at k a” on Mr. Van Bureu that “Puliliesla” informs ■; was urged “with fierceness and recklessness” by Hi unprincipled opposition.” 4 et, these things did and along with others excited “popular in ■guaiiou" to such a degree, that if not “as wilher- Hg as the curse of Heaven*” yet of sufficient power ■id effect to carry the opposition triumphant, and Mace the affair* of our country in new hands, though i| healed none of her wounds. Yet, in the face of all ■lis, with our country still groaning under the Height of this revulsion, with the minds of our poo- II e heated and inflamed by this political strife, and lur government wandering in a terra incognita (ibr ■cure amidst circumstances without a parallel in liis ■iry in the face of all Ibis we are told that Mr. ■an Bureu “steered tlie ship of State through the ■mpest and tlie storm, and carried her sately and ■oundly into port.” ■ Now, without meaning to charge Mr. Van Ilurcn ■ritii uur reverses, we assert tiiat the mere fact tiiat ■c was at the head of the Government during this Hieriod, is circumstantial evidence of sufficient weight Bo prove him guilty in the eyes of a great portion of Bile American people. And will this evidence be of B'SS weight when “Publicola” informs us that this re- Bursetook place “before his measures or his policy Bould lie possibly developed.” A mere contiguity of Bene and place [lo use the language of the Metaphy Bicians] argues the relation of cause and effect between ■pis'ii events so strongly, that to many minds, it is Bcarcely less convincing than mathematical demon ■Mnition. The truth of tills is abundantly supported |hy the history of the revulsion of which we have been ■■‘peaking. T'or we know that neither thj opposition I nor the administration parties oflSlt), attributed it [to any iniluence exerted by our foreign relations; but |each contended that the odium belonged to the other. And when put on this ground the party in power 1a I to bear the responsibility. When Mr. Van Huron’s administration is again belli up as the origin of ail the mils under which we have labored from a derangement of tlie currency, why will not the peo ple in 1811, as in 1810 sustain the accusation and pronounce it true 1 Are the prejudices of a people so easily removed and lias the pride f opinion be ■ Come so humbled that men are ready and prompt to admit that they have been deficient in intellect, and I ilum and by superior iivtdligence oil a former occasion I The oreat issue of 18-10 was not “Bank or no | P.ank, Tariff or no Tariff.” for the opposition was so divided that it could not accept it us such ; and cou and hope for a certain degree of unanimity only under the war-cry one term for the President, anlixo Martin Van Bcken. To support this the Execntive was charged with corruption, with Fede ralism, with a leaning to abolition, and a desire to produce the unholy "union of the purse and sword ; and, justly or unjuetiy, the verdict of the |>eo|ile was “guilty." The great question was a personal one to Air. ran 11 m en, a question of popularity which was derided against him. Though many who acted with ■he opposition of 1810, may lie willing to admit that the Whig party ol the present dov lias changed its position, and are unwilling to support Mr. Clay ami his Bank and Tariff doctrines, to which they have Hover been committed, yet it will require political Ivdgerdemain of surprising dexterity to bring them so believe in the | re;« nsions of Mr. Van Buren, "horn they have ur.e puivoca ly condemned and ile feounced. “Pubh-oln” tinges lli.it Mr. Van Buren “has l>ceii (he President ol' the 1?. States for the term of four years;” which, so far from being a recommendation, is real ly an objection to him, when we odd,that after the expiration of his ‘ term of lour years” he'was beaten by an overwhelm ing majority by a man who had never been a political leader, —by u man who was pledged to no principle, hut retied solely on the unpopularity of Mr Van Buren and his administration,for suc cess”—But to complete the sentence of “Publicola,” he litis been the President of the United Slates for the term of four years, and conducted his administration with a simplicity, an integrity and abili ty, which, considering the all-pervading difliculfies of the time, and the lierceness and recklesslessness with which all his measures were attacked by an unprinci pled opposition, reflect the highest houor upon himself, and entitle him to tlie con fidence and support of tlie whole Democ racy of the Union.” If we admit this 1o be true, yet in dis cussing the availability of a candidate for the next Presidency, we must not look only to those who voted for Mr. Van Bu ren in 1840, and to whom alone, we suppose one “Senex,” a correspondent of the Enquirer, alluded, when he address es his communication to “the genuine Democrats of the United Stateswe must not lose sight of the fact that unless a portion of the opposition of 1810 [who did not consider “Democracy” at till in volved in the contest] is seperated from tlie Federal candidate, the Republican party must inevitably lie beaien. Dis guise it as you may, this is the Due state of the case , and the availability of any candidate must dejtend on the support he can gain fiom this quarter,more Ilian any one thing beside. Whether the National Convention will choose so to regard it, is another matter. Now, all must remem ber that one of the most prominent prin ciples advocated hv this opposition of 18 10 was that the President of the U. S. should serve only for a sii.gle term ; —* advocated with a degree of unanimity manifested in nothing else, if we except die hatred of Mr. \an Buren. This, when added to the fact that this oppos tion is com itted against Mr. V. Buren, will deprive the Republican party of any succour from that quarter, except what Mr. Calhoun may organize bkkoiik the Convention, voluntarily pledged to sup port the nominee ofthat body. 'Pile ability with which “Publicola” ascribes to Mr. Van Buren’s administra tion is a mere matter of individual opin ion, which a majority of the people htis decided against mm; and the fact that tins statesman lias “sulfered marlydom ” though it was as “Publicola” asserts “m deieuoe of the Constitution,” ought to prove him dead, oti the score of availa bility at least. But if be lias sulfered mariydoin, will Ins destroyers be wilting to designate Ins “limit taking oti” by sueii u name : men generally receive that hon or.tule title from llieir friends, or Irom a friendly posterity, but never from those who acts give them a claim to llie hon orable distinction, it ready seems little like the genuine spirit of Democracy, to urge the claims ol a man before die x.ou veulioii, whose success as the candidate for the Presidency, should he be the nom inee, must depend upon the support of those who are already pledged against him, and who have already condemned linn as a public servant, is it the part ol patriots lints to jeopard the success ol pmicip.es, lor the sake not of men, but o i one man l lo endanger the Constitu tion tugt die wounded vanity ol a de iealed candidate may be soothed \ and yield the reins of government to au ‘■un principled party m a tool-hardy endea vor to make the American people petii tentiuily acknowledge its errors,and hum bly crave die pardon ot Martin Van Bu ren lor ejecting him from the Presiden cy, and pronouncing him unlit lor its service l There are other things in ‘PublicolaV communication which deserves attention, Lint it d.ie deference, Mr. Editor, to matter which you doubtless have ou hand, makes n necessary that further remarks sliou'd be deterred for the present. As it affords us pleasure to exchange views with one like “Rublioola,” we will en deavor to follow and join him in a cour teous dlscuSsion. M e Will endeavor to do this if circumstances will permit; and wl 1 close this communication by a re quest that •’Senex” will not be offended at the slight notice we have taken of him when we annex the following as a speci men of his production. “ Let it nut ha forgotten, lhat this man, Martin Van Bu.en, had been gall and wormwood to the Federalists for more than tvverey years, and that he should have been the of our protection against the ttouhle headed shot of Federalism, was as much - our adversaries could bear; but that he should have the audacity to pay a proper tribute to the matchless merit of Andrew Jackson, was, in tiieir estimation adding insult to injury; and hence the determination “per fas aut tufas' to defeat his re election; then came tlie struggle of 1810, that wilt ever lie retarded as a floating beacon on the coast ot fime—a floating beacon manned with the gliosis ot slaughtered reputation, armed with the missile* ol falsehood and deception, and lighted up witty the un quenchable fires of malignant spleen and chafe I am bition.” HENRI. FOREIGN NEWS BY THE ACADIA 15 DAYS LATER. Repeal agitation still conlinu 'S in Ireland. Revolution in Spain, Esparteroit is said must fall. The “Rebecca” riots still continue in Wales. Dr. Ilannernan is dead in spite of Homccpathy. 12000 copies of Dr. Pusey’s Sermon on the Eu charist is sold. Grain cjojis very promising in England. “ The Cotton market has been tolerably active of late—better prices have been realized with less dispo sition on Ihe port of holders to press tales. Money continues very abundant.”— I Ulmer Smith's News letter. . We take the following sensible remark* from the E stern (Maine) Enquirer, and adopt them as our own. We agree with the Enquirer that it is the duty of the Democratic party to open some way far the return of those members of the parly who voted against Air. Van Burenin 1840. We believe with the Enquirer, that without their aid we shall be no better off in 1811, than we were in 1840—we believe moreover, that it would he fatal to the success of our principles, and worse than madness in the party to revive again (whether justly or unjustly made) a dis cussion of the charges so perfectly identified in the minds of the people with Mr. Van Buren—they were sufficient to defeat him then, and there is no good grounds for believing that he would succeed against them now. The circumstances under which Air. Van Buren run in 1840, were quite as favorable as those under which he would enter the lists in 1844. Nay, We believe that they were more favorable than the pres ent. The candidate of the Whigs in 1840, was com paratively unknown, yet he was elected over AJr. Van Buren by the largest majority ever cast against any candidate. Can this be accounted for on any other grounds than the personal unpopularity of Mr. Van Buren. Wc think not—will the Democratic party stake the fortunes of their cause upon a can didate whose success is so doubtful. Improbable as success might seem with Air. Van Buren as a leader in the face of our overwhelming defeat in 1840, there are those who urge the claims ofthat gentleman up on the party, on the ground that it is hut sheer jus tice to him—and the only way by which the obliga tions of the party to that distinguished democrat can be cancelled—if the success of our principles are to he put in the scale with the personal interest or vani ty of any man—the party had as well disband at once—the great bulk of the people will never consent to such an issue, and will never be found contendin ' Ibr such triilcs. “ JUSTICE TO AIR. VAN BUREN.” The principal argument used in behalf of Mr. \ an Bureu’s re-iiomiimtion is this: “ He was beaten in 1840, and it is due to him to be run again. Justice to Mr. Van Buren demands it.” Now we would be one of the last to participate iti any act of injustice to a high minded democrat like Mr. Van Bu reu ; and did we think it “ due to him,” we would tins very day strike ihe Hag that floats at our mast head, and run up that of Martin Van Buren. But we cannot see it m that light.— The argument that would make it an act of justice to nominate that gentle man, because lie lurts been once over whelmingly beaten, would also apply to till classe.s of defeated candidates. Let us see. Mr. Calhoun was once nomi nated by the democracy of Pennsylvania for the Presidency, lie was not elected. Now, by this argument it is due to Mr. Calhoun that he should he re-nominaled. But carry it slilt farther. If Mr. Van Buren should be nominated and defeated in 1844, why then ••jusliee” to tint gen tleman —would demand Ins being run again in 4848, and 1832, and term after term, until success or death settled the question. Had Air. Van Buren come out of the last contest with any 1 ass of credit, it might present the matter in a different aspect. But he stands before the democ racy unsullied. Resides, Mr. Vail Buren has been ill oliice almost from boyhood, merely rotating from oue official position into another and higher one. He has filled every office in the gift of his own .State —he litis been Minister to England, Vice President, and President—he has been crowned with public honors from the time of bis majority until now. What more is due to linn from tlie American people ? M e ask again. What more can Mr. Van Buren claim of the Ameri can people as his right l Nothing. We believe the people owe no man of fice, no matter what may he the circum stances. But if they do, then we file in a claim due to John C. Calhoun, of South Carolina, which should, on this novel principal of obligation, long since have been cancelled. It is the duty of the democracy to se lect a candidate who will he the most likely to secure the permanent ascendan cy of the party and its principles. If Mr. Van Daren is the better and surer man lor lhat purpose, tlieu it is “ due ' to the rights of the people, though not to him, to take him. How stand the fact?—That gentleman was defeated in 1840, by a majority of nearly 200,000 votes. Thousands of these votes were thrown by democrats— democrats in heart as well as profession —and it is worse than idle lo deny it. \Ye disagreed with them in their opin ion of Mr. Van Dureu’s administration. They were honest, so were we. In say ing ibis we speak of the masses, and not ot the‘renegade politicians. Now, it is not only our policy but our duty to open the way for the return of these to our ranks. M e may sneer as much as we please about it; but common sense teach es 11s that without their aid we shall lie no better off in 1844 than we were in 1840. Can Air. Van Buren draw these demo crats back again ? No. Their pride of consistency would forbid it, if there were no other reason. VV hat individual out ofthat 200,(400 has avowed his determi nation to vote lor Mr. Van Huron ? 'They say, by thousands—“ Give us any other mail, and we will go for him.” Are their votes worth nothing in a contest which, laugh at it as we may in the strength of our present position, is to be one of the most arduous this country ev er saw V Mr. Van Buren could not carry his own native state—New York—in 1840 by 15,000 votes. What evidence is there that he can curry it now ? lie lost us democratic Ohio, by 25,000 votes. Is there any change hi Ohio in favor of Mr. Van Buren ? Pennsylvania—the Keystone of the democratic arch—retused him her vote in 1840. Will she give it to him in 1844 l it is most impolitic to think of break ing down this tremendous majority with Mr. Van Buren. “ Justice” to him by no means demands so great a hazard. IS AIR CLAY IN FAVOR OF A PRORECTIVE TARIFF ? Having given Mr. Clay’s unequivocal answer to this question, we have inserted that of the Duchess Free Press, and now subjoin that of the New Haven Register. From the Columbian (New Haven) Register. “THE SAME OLD COON.” The Macon Democrat says that at the late Whig Slate Convention held in Georgia, and at which Air Clay was nominated for the Presidency, the lion. J. M. Berrien, in a speech made on that occasion, pocitircly, denied that Mr. Clay is in favor of a Pro tective Tariff *. So it seems the Whigs are to “ play possum” again in the coming campaign, thsugh one would suppose they had bad pxjierienee enough in that game to teach them that “ lionestv is the best (Kilicy. Air. Clay, then, is to lie held up to the North as a protectionist , to catch the votes of manu facturers ; and to the South as a free-trade mail, to catch the votes of commercial men and planters t while at “Fort Meigs,” or other Western locations, he can be “ a little ot every thing,” or merely' a “ hunter from Kentucky'.” Just-«o, were “ Tipjieca noe and lyler too,’ held up as hank men at the North, and anti-hank at the South ; and arguments, “ plenty as blackberries,” were adduced to prove that they were, or were not, favorable to the establishment of a National Bank, as the interests of the Whig party happened to require. This assertion of Mr. Berrien may he considered almost qfficlal; for being an intimate personal and political friend to AJr. Clay, he must be thoroughly acquainted with that gentle man s views on the tariff question; and yet AlrClay may very easily repudiate the assertion, when neces sary. Ihe game has commenced, and there can lie no doubt oi a design on the part of the Federal lead ers to re-enact the same deceptive farce by whi h they disgraced the country in 18J0—a stupendous cheat! in which (under Providence) the inventors and wire-pullers got tile worst of it; and which is no small consolation. If they make a second edition of their huiuhuggery go down, we shall he greatly dis appointed. There can hardly be a doubt but that Air. Clay approves of this dishonest male of election cering; and that his sudden retreat from the Senate was to avoid committal on the present tariff law. He is now belli up to the South as an anti-protectionist, whilst all that sustains him in the manufacturing States is his supposed undying attachment lo the high tariff policy ! Baltimore, August 2, 1843. ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE IldN. AIR. WICKLIFFE, POSTMASTER GENERAL. On the arrival of the steamboat Geor gia, last evening, from Norfolk, our citi zens were startled with a rumor of an attempt to assassinate the Postmaster General during her passage up the Bay, by John Gardner, soil of Col. Gaidper, late a clerk in one of ihe departments at Washington. Upon inquiry, we ascer tained that the occurrence took place as Mr. Wicklifl'e, with bis daughters and niece were advancing towards the dining saloon, when Gardner encountered the party, and before his purpose could be well conjectured, suddenly raised a knife with which he had been cleaning his nails, and with great violence stabbed Mr. \\. in the chest. Ga dner was in stantly seized by Lieut. Bradford, and prevented from repeating the blow ; bis person was then properly secured and lie was in guarded custody until the lioat arrived in Baltimore. Mr. M ickliffe was conveyed to his berth, and such relief afforded him as the circumstances would nffo.d, but when lie arrived here, he was in much pain. Dr. Smith was ius'antly summoned to attend him, who, upon ex amining the wound pronounced that it was not dangerous, the knife having struck upon the upper part of the ster num or breast bone without having pen etrated it. 'Phe shock from the violence of the blow, it was supposed occasioned the pain which Mr. W. experienced in his side, and inasmuch as there appeared no immediate necessity for his removal, it was thought expedient that he should remain on board during the night, where every necessary attention conkl be paid him, and the excitement of his removal avoided. Gardner was taken into custo dy by officer McKcown, and conveyed in a hack to the office of Jusliee Gray, before whom the foregoing facts bein ,r detailed, the prisoner Was committed to jail to await a further examination. 10 1-2 I*. M.—M e have just returned from the Georgia, and learn from Dr. Theobald, in attendance wilh Dr. Smith, that the patient is enjoying a comfortable sleep, the pain in Lis side having abated. \Ve learn also that Mr. Mhckhffe express ed his full conviction that Gardner was quite deranged ; spoke very feelingly of the young man’s relatives, to whom he referred as intimate friends, and despatch ed a person to prevent, if possible, the commitment of Gardner to jail. The instrument with which the wound was inflicted, was an ordinary dirk knife, with a blade about live inches in length.— Gun. The Salem Advertiser says, “ that there are fresh indications every day of the success of Mr. Calhoun, as the nomi nee of the Democratic National Conven tion to the Presidency.

S This is to certify, that I have been afflicted with Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, and Liver Complaint, and Costiveness lor the last eight or nine years, du ring which time 1 had taken, as well as I recollect, about sixty boxes of Beckwith's Pills, twelve boxes of Peters’Pills, and a numherof boxes of Champion’s aud Brandreth’s Pills, all of which afforded me hut little or no relief. At last, l was recommended to try Dr. Spencer's Vegetable Pills, and veil I did; for I nrv< r had hut one attack of the Sick Headache af ter I commenced taking the Pills, (now about six months) and I candidly conteSß, that I have derived more real benefit from the use of Spencer’s Pills, tiiau from all tlie other Medicines and PiiU that l have ever taken, and I would earne* It recommend them to all, a* being in my opinion, me he»t medi cine in use for all lingering complain'*. The f*il * have done me *o much good, that i w uUi uot it 1 1 willing to be without them fur five and a box ; arid I cannot but feel very giatefui to Dr. Spencer for having prepared such a vail'able medic,ne, and tl.u distribution of it ia conferring a very ere.it favor U the public, as it is a thing of the u most important e lhat every family should have a supply of Dr. Spen cers uuly valuable Pills constantly on hand.

To the Ctihens af Georgia: WHEREAS, for several years past, the good Peo ple of this Slate have been gvmly, and very seri ously imposed upou in times of suffering and sick ness, by bring obliged lo pay the enormous price df One CoHarand Ptfly Cents for a Box of PtljljS, r - a B nle of MIXTURE, to cure CHILLS ASP FEVERS, and other distressing complaints: Now, therefore, know ye, that an effccinal means ~f relirf have been discovered in PR. HULL'S VEGET ABLE UK VER and A G HE, and ANTI-PE VSR PILLS; which are offered by the Proprietors am 4 their Agent* at the low price of only Ore Dollar per Box— from 25 to 50 per cent, cheaper than the majori ty of all other medicines for the cure of such com plaints; aud as 10 the comparative safety with which they can he taken, together with the simplicity of their component ports (which are entirely vegetable) and the real value of Hull’s Pills, as adapted to the wants of the communiiy, ibere can be no longer the least doubt of their great superiority over all other medicines, not only in their superior properties in the safe and Fpecdv cure of Chills and Fevers, but also as a remedy iu Fevers of every description. Jt is parliculio'v worthy of remark, that out of up wards of Twenty Thousand Boxes of these Pills sold in Alabama alone, within the last twelve mom s, not a single tase lias conic to the knowledge of the pro prictors, where they have foiled to cure the Chiffs and fevers, when f Deyr have been used according to the chiections accompanying them. And I csidcr. these pd.s aic no “qiiade incdftsne;" they are tbu scientific preparation of expeiisneed medical men who, after having prepared thfo important rcr’pc! . most positively declared that front ail the discoveries up lo the present time, in medical science, they saw noway by which they con’d possibly bqimproved, or made in any way more effectual in the cure of tbosn complaints for which dley are recommended: so that die happy combination of the incTredicn's and their proportions arc such as to produce a medicine which never fails m relieve when relief is at all attainable. Upwards of one .housond cenificana might here be added, of important cures effected by this medicine j but it is not necessary to publish them, as a soio-le trial of the Pills is more sr.isfactory evidence than a volume of primed lesiimonia’s. We would, howev er, reicr die reader to rome eictht often thousand families in ill’s State, who j; s thought have experi enced their efficacy, and who would bear ample tes timony of iheir unrivalled viitue*. 23= For ,Sale by J.
