of State debts, thus at once creating a gi
gantic national debt and an annual in
creased taxation of at least ten millions of
dollars and oppressing in truth, and rob
bing the unindebted States teethe extent
of their augmented tax. Georgia’s share
of this whig blessing would be about
four hundred thousand dollars additional
yearly taxation. This is a plain dealing,
an irrefutable view of the character, ob
jects and utterly unavoidable consequen

support them are Clay Federalists, those
who disown and renounce them, are
Constitutional Republicans, or Demo

Democrat who has a longue to speak or
a pen to wield in the cause of his coum

alarm among the people. Excite, agi

giant, proximate danger, which perils not

Mr. Woodbury's Speech.
We have received from the Honorable
Levi Woodbury a copy of his powerful
and unanswerable argument upon the
Tariff. It is spoken of by all panics as
one of the ablest speeches ever delivered
upon the subject. We shall take the ear
liest opportunity of laying it before our
readers, in extenso. Mr. Clay has de
nounced the tariff of IS2B as disgraceful
to American legislation and yet says that
lie agrees in the main with the tariff of
’42. What shall we think of these vari
egated professions when we find that, the
u black tariff” of 1542 is in many instan
ces higher than the bill of abominations
of 1828. From ten to one hundred pr.
cent, higher. We presume that the “ ul
tra nullification” advocates of th« tariff in
this State will not deny the statements
and tables, introduced into the Senate by
Mr. Woodbury and Mr. McDuffie, as
Mr. Evans, the able and talented defend
er of this iuquitous system of public
plunder did not attempt to invalidate
them. We again ask how long will the
South submit to this lfgalised robbe*

A Ruglc Blast from Henry Clay,*’
(To use the spirited language of the
N. O. Tropic) seems to have roused the
hearts of the unterrified Democracy of
New Orleans like the shrill and heart
stirring notes of their own Democratic
Clarion. Our readers will learn from
(mother column, that the Democratic
Senator received a majority of 406 a day
or two after Mr. Clay’s visit to that City.
Literary Notices.
We find on our table the following ar
ticles—Biography of the Patriarchs, by
the Rev. Doct. Hunter, a work of great
merit. It will be of great interest not
billy to the devout, hut also to the gene
ral reader. Dauhigne’s History of the
reformation in the 16th century, in Ger
many; Switzerland, France, &c.—it is
eminently candid and impartial, and dis
plays great learning and research—such
a great wbrk has long been a desideratum.
Miss Pickerihg’s frequent and popular
hovel ‘ The Grumbler.’
The Saute Fe expedition-, from the
pen of that master wag and laughing
philosopher, Kendal, the Democritus of
the New Orleans Picayune —blessings oh
him. We are indebted to him for many
a kindly feeling, and though some of his
stories in the expedition brought a stray
tear down our wrinkled cheeks, we were
till the better for it. What an infinite
pity the dancing days of such a than
should be abridged—but never mind—
Mr. Kendall, though he cannot ‘ cut the
pigeon wing' is still abie to crack a good
joke.
No fiction can lie fuller of romance
and exciting incident than this work.—
Mr. R’s style is felicitously appropriate—
the book breathes the spirit of the gen*

Penmanship and Book-keeping.
Having by invitation visited Professor
McHelm’s apartments to view his exhi
bition of specimens in that branch of the
fine arts in which he proposes to qualify
his pupils, we were in the highest degree
gratified by the examination. From
what we learned of Mr. McHelm’s perfor
mance in Augusta and Savannah we ex
pected to see in the various hands speci
mens of exceedingly fine penmanship,
hut did not anticipate what we actually
met, namely, delineations of architectural
subjects, human figures, portraits, <kc.
executed with his pen in a style of beau
ty and precision that might seem to de
mand the skill of a talented painter.—
We ascertained from the professor’s con
versation, and an examination of the im
provement of his pupils in a given time,
that his mode of instruction is peculiarly
successful. His off-hand writing is rapid
and excellent.
Os Mr. McHelm’s othei qualifications,
the following affords sufficient evidence,
from the Savannah Republican :
“ The undersigned, at the request of
Mr. McHelm, have visited his room
and examined his system of Book-keep
ingnnd specimens of Pehmariship. His
system of Book-keeping is upon the most
improved plan. His specimens of Pen
manship are among the finest we have
ever seen, and the improvement of his
Pupils, as seen in the testimonials which
they themselves have writteh, are stleh
as to warrant the belief that he will give
entire satisfaction to those who may fa
vor him with their patronage.
Besides numerous recommendations as
a Professor of Penmanship and Book
keeping, Mr. McHelm brings with him
the highest testimonials as a gentleman
of great moral worth. We therefore take
great pleasure in. recommending him to
the confidence arid patronage of the com
munity.”

Savannah, Dec. 29th, 1843:
Southern Quarterly Revietr:
NOTICE.
The box containing the October num
h r of the Southern Quarterly lievieiv
for the subscribers at Macon, was sent
through mistake to Columbus, and there
put in chargeof Mr. Thomas K. Knowles,
who placed it in his wagon, intending to
pass through Macon, where he promised
to deliver it to the Agent of the Review,
but omitted to do so. If this notice rea
ches Mr. Knowles, he will please send
the box as soon as practicable to Mr.
Jackson Barnes, Macon.
In case of its 11011-arrival shortly, du
plicates of the October number will be
sent to such subscribers at Macon as have
not yet been supplied with their copies.
We have to acknowledge the reception
of the note alluded to in the following
card from our old friend Dr. Green, of
the Macon Democrat. When we recei
ved the note we at once distinctly recol
lected the publication in our paper ofthe
correspondence, as transmitted to us at
the time by the late Mr. Crawford, be
tween him and Mr. Dickerson, of New
Jersey. As soon as we had a leisure
moment, we searched our files, and found
the correspondence; and we should have
immediately published the letter of Mr.
Crawford, had its great length permitted
it then. But we had, and have still, so
much matter to publish, in regard to the
proceedings of Congress, that we conclu
ded to defer the publication of the letter
a few weeks, as the delay cannot be of
much importance. The subjects of the
letter are a protective tariff and a nation
al bank, and both, especially the first,
treated in that masterly manner so char
acteristic of the productions of that great
champion of state and popular rights.—
We will here add, that we had a conver
sation with Mr. William H. Crawford,
a short time before his death, in which
he confirmed to us his uncompromising
opposition to a national bank and to a
protective tariff. To show, however, the
view taken by that distinguished states
man of a national bank, we transcribe a
few short paragraphs from his letter to
Mr. Mahlon Dickerson, which we sub
join.
[From the Macdn Democrat .]
WM. H. CRAWFORDS LETTER
TO MR. DICKERSON, DECLARA
TORY OF HIS DECIDED BE
LIEF IN THE UNCONSTITU
TIONALITY OF A U. S. BANK.
Wc have seldom been more surprised
than to learn that the existence, genuine
ness or authenticity of that document
had been called in question. We should
as sdotl have expected Henry Clay’s for
mer denunciation of the U. S. Bank, dr
that of Daniel Webster’s of the tariff be
ing denied. We referred to it as ft matter
ofsuch genefal notoriety that its insertion
would be unnecessary, thoagh it was
then before us in the Constitutionalist;
We have addressed a note to the gentle
man editing that paper requesting a re
publication of the letter; and shall not re
lax our search till it is generally before
the publec. Want of space prevents the
detail of Mr. C.’s remarks when convers
ing with ourselves on Yates’secret de
bates—which we per force defer.
Extracts of a letter from William H.
Crawford, of Georgia, to Mahion Dick
erson, of New Jersy, dated Woodlawn,
February 4, 1533, and copied from the
Constitutionalist of February 19, 1833.
“I admit that if the United States were
governed by a consolidated government,
the power to regulate commerce would,
in the absence of the journals of the con
vention and Mr. Martin’s report, have
authorised the protection of manufac
tures. If the State governments and
State lines were obi iterated,the protection
of manufactures might be effected under
the power to regulate commerce, because
it has been done by most of the civilized
states in the world. But the Tariff is
Clearly a measure of consolidation, and
so are measures of internal improvement
which have been carried on by Congress
without the shadow of authority. It is
this reckless legislation of Congress that
has produced the present alarming crisis
in the affairs of the Union, and the pres
ent is but a commencement of difficul
ties of that kind, unless a speedy return
to the true principles of the constitution
is effected. The difficulty of warding
off the blow aimed by South Carolina,
ought to admonish the federal govern
ment of the necessity of moderation, and
a riged adherence to the powers granted,
and such as are necessarily incident to
them, and without which they cannot be
carried into effect. The publication of
the journal of the federal convention and
other documents connected wtih it, has
thrown much light upon the powers of
the federal government. I verily believe
if they had been published before the or
ganization of the federal government,
neither the Bank of the U. S., the as
sumption of State debts, nor a protective
tariff would have ever been found in the
federal statute book.
“When I made up my opinion upon
the bank question in 1811, that opinion
was founded exclusively upon the con
stitution The publication of the jour
nals which I have now perused for the
first time, has changed that opinion.
You formed your opinion upon the pro
tective system in the same way, before
the publication of the journal, and proba
bly without having seeu Luther Martin’s
report.
“Review, I beseech you, the whole
ground ; lay nside during the review all
preconceived opinions upon the subject,
and I entertain a hope that we shall a
gree in the conclusion.—You say the
revenue may by reduced to the necessa
ry expenses of she government by re
ducing or entirely abolishing the duties
upon unprotected articles; that this cotirsri
will relieve the nation from a large por
tion of its burthens, and ought to be ac
ceptable to all the states. This is a mis
take. Such a reduction will only in
crease the inequality which already ex
ists. But the Tariff States are wholly
mistaken if they think the murmurs of
the south are principally produced by
the revenue collected for the use of the
government. No, the people of the
south haire never complained of paying
what is necessary to support the govern
ment ; but they do complain, and will
compl ia as long as Congress by its
legislation shall enable the manufac
turers to levy contributions upon them
equal to those they pay to the govern
ment ; and rest assured if these exact
ions are continued milch longer, the
Union wi l be dissolved .”— Augusta
Constitutionalist.
Congress—Abolition Petitions.
We exptossed yesterday a faint hope
that the House of Representatives would
review its action oi) Tuesday. What
we hoped against hope has been done.
But tiie inconsistencies of the House
leave us still in doubt whether the ques
tion is settled. We trust it is so. i'tobi
the Spectator of Wednesday evening we
copy the following judicious and timely
remarks:
The Twenty-first Rule retained.
Our readers doubtless observed yester
day, that the twenty first rule, being one
of the rules introduced in Mr. Drom
goole’s report, was by a direct vote re
scinded by a majority of twenty votes.
A notice to reconsider the vote on the
rules was given, and on this question
coming up to-day, a motion was made to
lay the whole subject on the table, and
this motion prevailed by a single vote.
So the whole subject of the rules report
ed to the House is disposed of; and the
rules ofthe last Congress, with the twen
ty-first included amongst them, are the
rules of the House. We do not know
much of Parliamentary order, but we
suppose this will be the end df the mat
ten We no not pause or care to inquire
how this result has been effected. Un
less the rescinding of the rule had been
determined 011, why was the question
opend7 Why did the Democratic party
allow so fierce a contest amongst them
selves, unless separation was inevitable?
Why allow their common enemy to blow
the fire of discord, and place on the rec
ords of the country so fearful an array
as the direct Vote oil this rule yesterday
displayed. The whole South, from the
Potomac and the Ohid to the Gulf, stand
ing in solid phalanx; with but two ex
ceptions; Mh White of Keniucky, and
Mr. Clingman of North Carolina, in fa
vor of it; and on the other hand, the
whole North on the other side of the Po
tomac, with the exception of eight votes
only, united against it. When sections
thus become arrayed against each other
in a common council, the strife will not
be lotig. One or the other party will
soon bring masters to an isstte. W hilst;
therefore, we rejoice that the matter is
settled as it is, we cannot hilt regret the
bitterness and alienation it has infused
into the Democratic party. Let them
now, taking cdunsel from the past, move
with more, concert in their fbture action,
and carry out their principles and meas
ures in the future legislation of Congress
with a bold and decided hand. They
have now not only their policy to enforce,
but their former feelings of confidence
and friendliness to be restored. Thei
two great bonds which hold the party
together, are not yet severed—the twen
ty-first rule, and the tariff. The former ?
although broken ; has been reunited ;
and we trust the latter, instead of being
weakened, will be woven so strong as to
unite them for ever.

PROSPECTUS.
The Pictorial and Illustrated editions of SHAK
SPEARE, lately’publishcd in England, are amongst
the most beautiful specimens of the recent and re
markable improvement ol the aitof wood engraving,
which, by combining great excellence of execution,
With economy of price, has given an Unprecedented
diffusion to the most useful as well as the most ex
quisitc productions of the arts of design.
The designs of Kenny Meadows for the illustra
tions of Tyas’ edition of Shakspeare, expresses the
character of the several personages, and the spirit of
the scene, with wonderful truth and power; whilst
the wood engraving of Knight’a Pictorial edition
combine with the highest merits of art and taste,
such and learned and ininu;e accuracy as to scenery,
costume, architf ettire and antitjbiiy as to make them
a perpetual And moat inslrdciivfe Commentary Upon
the Poet’s text. It is now proposed to embody in
an American Edition, the admirable illustrations of
both these edilidns, engraved with equal excellence
of mechanical execution, to add to these, other en
gravings front emiqeiit artists, as Reynolds, Fuseli,
S. Newton, Ac., and to accompany thetfi with i beau
lifully printed and correct text.
But the pdblislier, anxious that his country should
pay some part of the homage due from her to the
greatest of Foe«, as to one who belongs not solely
to England, but tc all
who speak the tongue
That Shakspfcare spake,
Could not content himself with a mere republication
or compilation. He has therefore prevailed upon R.
W. Weir, whose reputation as an artist is already
identified with his country’s history, to contribute a
series of original designs, together with such advice
and assistance in other details of art as his taste mav
suggest for the illustration and embellishment of
this publication. Emm the same reason the publish
er, instead of reprinting the text and commentary of
any popular English impression, was desirous that
his edition should have the supervision of an Ainer
can editor. This task lias befeh UtUlcftakfitl by GU
LIAN C. VERPLANCK
The plan proposed to himielf by the editbr is to
furnish the reader with a carefully pteparctl and ac
curately printed text, unencumbered by any notes
or comments upon the page itself; is however, use
ful they may be elsewhere, they are too opt to divert
,1 1(1 mind from the power of the Poet’s thought, and
to di«tC' magic of his scene. Such notes as
may bo tho" c ' ,,t useful for the explanation or criti
cism ofthe texi, will be thrown into an Appendix to
Ca of Sbakipea.r’' dramatic works drawn
from old printed copies in bis -1 w " ,c ‘‘ ' ia( ‘ never
passed under the author’s own eye, ' vaa consequent
ly disfigured by many errors and oo' curlut ' 8 ' .
passed during the last century through a sov fe!s,on
of varying editions until the revision of Stevens jud
Mahme, whose text, (or rather that of Steveus) has
become the standard from which most of the English
and American editions have been priuted, with vari
ous degrees of accuracy* But within the last twen
ty years a more minute and familiar acquaintance
with old English idioms, habits, and modes of
thought, guided by an intense apd constantly increa
sing admiration of Shakspeart’s genius, has led to
the strong conviction that very many of the numer
ous though slight deviations from the ancient text
appearing in modern editions, are useless or errone
ous interpolations, sometimes weakening the sense
and often su stituting an arbitrary monotonous met
rical regularity to the Poet’s own native melody.—
Accordingly very many of these emendations have
been rejected by the last and best English editors,
especially Mr. Knight and Mr. Collier, and the rea
dings of the old folios and quartos have been resto
re and, unless where some error of the press or manu
script was undeniably manifest. Yet there are ma
ny silch passages confessedly corrupt, and requiring
conjectural emendation; there are also differences
of reading between the several old impressions, af
fording grounds for some diversity of text and warm
controversy between the more recent editors.
Upon these the American editor thinks it due to
the character of this edition; to decide for himself
without implicitly following the text of any one mod
ern edition. As the industry and learning of prior
editors hsve furnished the eollation of various read
ings and the authorities upon which they may be
supported, the task is no longer that of laborious in
vestigation, but, as it were, of judicial decision, en
lightened by contending argument.
As many of these variations are of nearly eqtlal
probability, and as some of them are doubtless the
author’s own alterations at different periods ,all the
more important readings will be presented tp the
reader in the notes for his own selection. Thoie
notes will also contain so much of Co'mmCtitftry as
may be useful to explain antiquated words and phra
ses, obscurely expressed passages, and allusions to
obsolete opinions or the habits or history of the
times; the whole in as condensed afornrtas practica
ble. But any commentary upon Sliakspcarfe, how*
ever brief, would he imperfect if it did not present
some View of the higher criticism employed, not on
the interpretation of his language, *btit Upon his
thoughts, his character, his poetrv, passions, philoso
phy. The oniy difficulty here arises from the abun
dance, the magnificent variety of the materials con
tributed during thy last half century by the most
brilliant minds of Eilrope. Still it is believed that
this duty can be satisfactorily performed without
swelling the edition.to an inconvenient bulk*

DYSPEPSIA CURED.
BENNINGTON, Vl Dec. sth, 1843.
Dear Sir: —l wi*h you to add my testimdiiy to th»
hoet of others that you hsve, in saver of your valuable
Pills. In the year 1833; I ws* attacked with that.dit
agrceable complaint, the DYSPEPSIA, which so
affected me that I could not take the least particle of
food, without the most unpleasant and uncomfortable
sensations in my chest, head and bowels. My chest
was so sore that I could not bear the s'iyhtrst pres
sure without giving me pain. >ty healtn was most
miserable ; many physicians told me they thought I
was in the consumption, and that if I did not give Up
my business, and change climate 1 could live but a
short time. - .
I tried every thing in the shape of medicine, and
consulted the most skilfnl physicians, but found no
permanent relief. I became discouraged, gkxSmy;
sad, and sick of life; and, probably, ere this should
have been in my grave, had I not fell in with your
precious medicine. A friend of mine, whahad been
sick ol the same complaint, advised me to try your
pills ; but, having tried most of the medicines w ithout
ohtainiug any relief, had but little faith that your
Pills would be of benefit to me ; but, at his earnest
solicitations, I procured abox and commenced taking
them. The first box produced little or no effect, and
I began to despond, for fear that yotir medicine
would prove like others I have taken; but my friends
argued that one was not a fair trial, and I purchased
a second, and before I had taken the whole bojc I be
gan to experience a change ; the pain in my chest
began to be less painful, and my food did not dtstres
me as uuch as formerly. I wentun taking them un
til I had taken six boxes, and my DYSPEPSIA
was GONE, and my expectation of an early death
vanished, and 1 folt like 4 “ new creature.*’ 1 was
then, and am now, a healthy man. I have never
since been troubled with the DYSPEPSIA. I
have administered your Pills to the members of my
fimily, and-to nry friends, and In all rases with good
success. You can publish if it wrifl be of any use to
you. lam, dear Sir, truly yours,
