fege*«- —1 ■" ban system, is the assumption, by the U. (5. government of two hundred millions 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 ces of the American system. Those who support them are Clay Federalists, those who disown and renounce them, are Constitutional Republicans, or Demo crats —no matter by what nickname they may be now designated. Let every Democrat who has a longue to speak or a pen to wield in the cause of his coum try, its constitution and union sound the alarm among the people. Excite, agi tate, rouse them to a just sense of the giant, proximate danger, which perils not only their own dearest interests, but all that is dear to the heart of au American patriot. Unite, organize , act, should be the watchword of the Democracy. Under that sign we conquer. 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* ry 1 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.

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* tleman, scholar and patriot. The read er must be imperturbably dull who Is not pleased with it. These works are from the stores of Barnes, Cotton Avenue, and Boardinan, Mulberry street. 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.” P. A. Strobe); Lock & Davis, William Duncdri; John T. Bartow, Godfrey Barnsley, Jas. L.

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.

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.

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.
