My purpose in taking up .he pen was to givo jn any other party on the face of .be ear.h of ' ‘ * lion of .he Tournament,\ ^ne numbers .” And .hen this vile Clay State, was far more a moral than a pol'tical d.fference—that tfith the Clark party was em bodied a greater mass of ignorance and cor rupt licentiousness, falsely called liberty, than of you a short descript which came off hero, by previous notice anti arrangement, on the 3d inst. It was a very thrilling and interesting spectacle, exhibiting at once the graces of person and the skill of horsemanship. In a beautiful valley, bounded by the Rap pahannock river and by the primeval oaks un der which in by-gone days the Indian lover wooed bis forest tnaid, and he o( the lion-Iioart and onglo eye reposed itt native freedom by his counsel fires;—in this valley, thus situated, the lists were opened, and at the sound o; a bugle eight knights, fully caparisoned nnd mounted on mettled steeds, with lances in rest and vizors down, appeared to contend for the prize, and emulate those days of chivalry in which “ Knighthood's dauntless deed And beauty's matchless eye" were honored by the brave, and rewarded by the great. A ring was suspended from a cord, exten ded across the ground in circumference as large as a ladies’ bracelet, to carry which on the point of the lance, with horse at full speed, was the object of rivalry. Among the combatants, Mr. R. of an adjoining county, represented the tall and graceful Knight ofChippewa." Filled with martial spirit, he came to conquer —his dress was rich, atul his steed of noble blood. Then followed *r. C. the dark eyed nnd gallant knight of •* Rappahannock"—a bright falchion at his side, and his lance well balanced. Following him, on a blooded char ger, rode Mr. B. of Florida—the brave and warm hearted knight of the “Everglades"— graceful as bis steed, and bright in his apparel and gaze as the tropic clime that claimed him. Then entered the lists Mr. C. of Eastern- Vir ginia, the proud and thoughtful knight of the “ Lowlands." u For valor he,and contemplation made.” But who is he that now advances—h : s chestnut stoed, champing the impotent bit, and pawing tlte earth, while bright eyes greet his approach f It is Mr. C. of St. Louis, the gen erous knight of the “Prairies" from the far West be comes, and sits like an Indian war rior in his saddle. Now following him, ap pears Mr. P. of Baltimore, the good knight of the “North"—he looked defiance, and victory seemed to have already welcomed him to the lists. Again, all eyes are turned, and lo! in raven-dress with a hleck plume in his hat, ad vanced Mr. II- of Philadelphia, the knight of the “ Lone Heart" and most gracefully bow ed to .he ladies. Last came Mr. L. of Mary land, our Herald, mounted on his grey steed * an eagle's feather waving from his cap, and Tartan belt flowing at his side. He played his part most admirably, and ns if he fe'.t tho love of chiva'ry, and tried to herald well such gal lant knights, before such "fair ladies, “ All things being ready, the knights, in the order named, at the sound of the bugle, started for the prize. Terrific was the speed with which they rushed towards the ring, with weli aimed lance. Upon the first trial, the knight and martial music, ns the Herald led him past the judges nnd ladies. The spirited knights of the Everglades and the Prairies, and he of the “ Lonuheart and Chippewa, bore off also the ring. After breathing their charges and ad justing their vizors, they are again in readiness, and iiguin the bugle sounded. The dark-eyed knight of Rappahannock fixed his eye on the prize of contention, his steed once more dash ed wildly on, and he is ngain victorious. A mong his rivals, however, tho bold knight of the “ Everglades” now made an effort, and with triumph was lie crowned, having equalled his rival in carrying the ring off twice. Fol lowing him, the others essayed to win, but in vain—they were applauded, notwithstanding, for their graceful bearing and fine horseman ship. The trial for victory, and the crown oflaur- cl (which bung suspended in view, and which beauty had weaved for valor,) was now to be determined. All was breathless anxiety nnd suspense among the fair; heart beat to heart: and eyes looked brighter than ever, for the victor Knight would be so n called to select from among them tho Queen of Beauty and Love. For the last time, the bugle sounds—the Knights have run (heir course, and the Knight of Rappahannock b.-ars off with grace the rin and is declared the conqueror. With modest brow, be is led up by the Her ald, who applauds him in knightly and touch ing language, and presents him to the Judges and the fair, as the “ bravest of the brave. Wa rmly is he greeted amid the bursts of mus ic and enthusiasm—and for a moment it seem ed as if the days of chivalry had returned. Receiving the crown from tho Judges, the Herald placed it on his brow ; but the moment of thrilling interest had arrived. Ills crown must bo shared, and who will lie select as the Qtteon was the half uttered question of the fair. The victor is called on to decide and choose some flower from the blight boquet of lovely women before him. He paused but for a mo ment, and then modestly selected MissJ. G., of St. Louis. Timid as a frightened fawn, and gentle as one of Diana’s doves, she is led forth with roses on her cheeks, and a beating heart— the music sounds and the valley rings with ac clamations of pleasure—the Queen is crowned and the Tournament ended !

It has been the “ Texas" of the State for those to flee to, who feel themselves’ too ignorant, or too corrupt to obtain office elsewhere.” John Crawford, the son of Wm, H.

John Crawford has refused to swallow a fifty million Bsnk, the Tariff and allthe other objectionable prin ciples of Henry Clay, and like ao honest man he has discarded this great enemy of the rights of his native State. But with the Editor’s a- buse of John Crawford we have nothing to do; nor shall we stop to notice what ‘.lie late Win. H. Crawford said about the Clark party. That d'Slinguished man is no more.

(&“ We insert by request, the communiia- tion of Greene; and reply that “Mr. Cnw- ford, the Whig candidate for Governor, is the same man, who once lived in Columbia coun ty, and killed Mr. Burnside, in a duel.” We are far from wishing to discuss the rause in which the lamented Burnside fell. True it is, that we knew him well, and a gentler, and a nobler nature, it has not been our lot to find. But he has fallen a victim to the code whose monument is blood—whose picture affords no ray of light or line of good; but darkness, crime, and death, obscures the whole.

We solicit from our readers a particular attention to the closing remarks in Judge Warner’s letter—they will find in them the assurance of an influence and support to Major Cooper, worthy of the cause of Democracy, and of the character of Judge Warner.

Let them rest in th>-ir obscurity, From the Nem- York Herald, 19/A inst. Arrival of tlie Steamer Hibernia Sixteen Days baler from Europe. We are in receipt of news by the Hibernia at Boston, of which we supply the following summary. The Weekly Herald, to be pub lished this morning, will contain further details. Trade continues in the same quiescent state which has marked it for some time past. As compared with toe feelyig which existed twelve months ago, there is a decided improvement, but the impetus with which the year opened, produced by the cessation of hostilities in Chi na and the East, has not been maintained. The slock of cotton on hand is enromous, and exceeds by upwards of 300,000 b iles the quantity which was held last year. The pres ent stock is little, if any, short of a million of bales!—nearly n year’s consumption. The Liverpool merchants, in this state, of things, are impressing upon Government the necessity of having a drawback of the doty p iid upon imported cotton, accompanied by a more liber al and comprehensive system for facilitating export orders, with every prospect of success. Ireland, is still in a vortex of agitation. The rent flowsin without any apparent dimin ution, the preisis are as active as ever. O’Con nell os energetic as ever. He keeps the ball moving amazingly. With a volatile people like the Irish, the sameness of tne subject, the monotony of the speeches, and the drain upon the pocket, seem calculated to tire. But they do not. The agitation was n ver infer, the or ganization never more perfect, the lunds never so plethoric as at present. Government looks passively on, prepared for notfiing but to extin guish the flame when it breaks out. In this respect no change has taken place since the sailing of the last packet. O’Connell has pub lished a statement of his finances, which, un like those of the national Exchequer, shows a great surplus over expenditure. And he talks of further movements, having for tht-ir object the superseding of legitimate authority, which will put the quiescent policy of Sir Robert ' e| to a stiff greater test, the want ofad quate deployment, the heavy tolls on the roa Is. the mgn rents, amt tow price ot produce, mid pov erty of tho people—these and other irritating causes which fit men’s minds for “treasons, stratagems and spo Is.” are still in force, and like ly to remain. That the hitherto quiet and re ligiously inclined Welch can only be kept in subordination bv the presence of military con stantly scouring their country, while it shows a deep seated social disease, is more easily to be lamented than remedied. Liverpool Cotton Market, Aug. 4, three o' clock, P. M.—The merchants of Liverpool are making a movement to induce Government to allow a drawback upon duty paid cotton ex ported. At present foreign buyers are limited to the quantity in bond, but under the new sys tem they will also have the free stocks to choose from. It is a fortunate circumstance that the Commissioners of Inquiry into reve nue affairs, and the President of the Board of Trade are favorable to this plan. The mar ket to day maintains a steady appearance, and here is no alteration whatever in any descrip tion of American Colton, a fair demand con tinues to be experienced. The sales will retch about 5,000 bales. MACON: a split in the Democratic rani s, and by whom it is sought to have that effect, I think may be fairly inferred. Why are Conventions called !

By the arrival at this port yesterday of the ship Rirkcnhi ad, we are placed in possession of later dates from Vera Cruz and the city of Mexico.—Wo learn by this arrival, that the Mexican Government has received the most tfhentic intelligence of the defeat of General GREENVILLE, July 17,1843. Dear Sir:—I have the pleasure, to ac knowledge the rocnipt of your kind letter, fir which I beg you to accept my thanks. With regard to the report of withhold!' gmy support of the nomination of Maj. Cooper, 1 have only to say, it is entirely without any authority from me. Some of the particular friends of Maj. Cooper, may have done me great injustice at the convention, both as it regards my private character, and political integrity. If they were stimulated to do so, on account offormer political prejudice, I can t.nly regret it; but feci quite certain, 1 shall not imita'e their ex ample, as no such feelings animate my bosom. It is true as yon remark, I was reformed out of office by tho Whigs in 1S40, and have remain ed a private citizen oversow, giving no cause, so far as I know, to excite either the personal, or political animosity of any one, especially those, who profess to belong, to the same polit ical ]*rrty; for no one knows better than your self, that my name was presented lo the late convention without any agency on my pan, either dirrctly, or indirectly, and if that be the offence, for which i was so unjustly denounced through tlie thick darkness ot orphanage and, ^(nnijo near Santa Fe, by the Texans. Tlie destitution. rf particulars had not transpired, but we are as sured that there is no room to doubt the success of the Texans. Santa Anna is represented as very furious about the affair, and it is regarded as very materially complicating the difficulties under which Mexico is now laboring. We have before us a paper containing a communication addressed by Bocanegra, the Mexican Minister for Foreign Affaires, bear ing date tlie 21st of July, to Gjnerul Thomp son. the representative of our Government, which is of importance, and we regret that the reply of Gen. Thompson to the same, has not Small Potatoes. he Macon Messenger grabbles bard for a small fibre of this invaluable root; thus faith fully toiling to supply a matter of food for the palate of “old Clark men.”' They publish the following and call it “A CASE.” “William J. Davis, an old Clark nnd Uni on man, was U. S. Marshal, for the District of Georgia. He was recommended by a res pectable number of Democrats of the last Leg islature, for re-appointment. But Cooper, Col quit! and Black, recommended Edward Har den of Athens, who is a New light, having deserted to the Democratic party in 1840. Davis was siqtplauted. Harden was appoint, ed. It is the concurrent- opinion of all the Bar, who practice in the Circuit Court, that Davis made u fuithfu], vigilant and efficient officer.” It is true, our friend “ Win. J. Davis made a faithful, vigilant and efficient officer”—was without cause reformed out of office by Presi dent Tyler, and succeeded by our no less es teemed friend Gen. Harden. The motives of tho President in this net, and the influences un der which it was caused, are equully unknown we should have taken it for thesneerinn and raving hallucinations of some little coll, who had just made his first appearance aino" set of juvenile Polemics. 0 * The burden of the Addtess is, the great thi^ which the Clayites in Georgia performed, in h e j° ing to bring about the glorious political revoIcf- 3 of 1840, and the able services they rendered, i D t - 2 king provisions for restoring the depreciated cr- of the Centtal Bank, and preserving unlarn f ) the reputation of the State! So far as regards tlie part which the Clayii £ ; took in the political Saturnalia of 1840, which it would seem, was visited by the retributive punk!)' ment of Heaven, the least said about it, the beit t , for them. The criminal and disgraceful wa v ;- which votes were manufactured and cast,by Pk» layers and Yarn-spinners, is of too lecent occur, rence to be forgotten, and too well establishedtoi* truly denied. There is also a little Address, vm-. ten and published by the then Cltty members to Congress, Wm. Cosby Dawson & Co. which is int yet out of print. This precious document, which fortunately, has been preserved from the daoum^ maw of lime, contains some queer assertions c-J promises, that do not appear to be strictly in keep, ing with the present policy and declarations of the Clayites—such, for instance, as, t hat Gen. Haaisoj was not Opposed to a National Bank—that he was an enemy to the Protective System—had nothing to do with the Abolitionists, and numerous such like authentic and veracious sayings. We therefore repeat, that the less the Clayites say about ih»st matters, the better for them—and, by the by, they seem to think so themselves, for, in the conclusion of their Address, they affect a holy and patriot* horror, at the mere idea of the Democrats troublisg themselves about the way in which their rulersao- minister the affairs of the General Governroeci. O, yes; the State of Georgia has no interestij such Small matters—she will, to be sure, leave all such subordinate things to the kind supervision of the Clayites. What disinterested souls! Wiat accommodating and public spirited politicians! to take this load of trouble from off the shoulders sf the Democracy. But, the Central Bank is the great hobby apoi) which the Address has jumped, for the pmposeof enabling its faction, lor party it has none, lo ride into power—yet, accomplished political equestrian] gs they deem-themselves, they will inevitably be unhorsed before they reach the end of the net. Lei ns see then, what has been the course they have pursued in relation to the Central Bank—and. as the Augusta Constitutionalist has, just in the very nick of time, furnished us, much better than we could do it ourselves, with a brief, plain, able, and authentic little history, of the Clayites' connec- and welfare of their fellow citizens, as well as of I tion with that institution, we adopt it as our own, the county in which they reside—two of them livej and in presenting it to our readers, most earnestly in the country, whete our adversaries say. but fit tie intelligence is to be found; and they are, mote x»tji tianij aim Hours* illicit nfuur ’^Valleys, whom our adversaries also asperse as the “very worst kind of population."

Not one pracnciKt and efficient measute. All the vapouring* of the »fci| leaders were against the Central Bark. That instimw was the bag-bear of all the calamities with which the peo ple of the state had been afflicted; and nothing but the de struction of the institution could repair our disasters, pay our state debt, coir plete our internal improvements, sid re lieve our citizens from all their distresses. Nol one soiitz- iy measure, save the destruction of th* Central Hank dd the whigs, when in power, and out of power, reroametl as a relief for the general embarrassments of the times And, even, when they were urging the winding up ef the affairs of that institution, did they propose wise sndeffieies measures, well calculated to meet the exigencies cf the state? Not at all. When they vrere thundering agix'l the depreciated currency issued by the Central Bsnk.wd charging the democratic parry with nil die blame far the circulation of such paper money, they, themselves, in 163t and 1840, when in the majority in the legislature, orderci an additional issue of the bills ol that institution, while, if they had been so wise, and so able in financinl sud 6k>! matters, they would have adopted some other means, nw* in accordance with public credit, in order to meet the ° penses of the government. In the act of 1833, making*?’ propriations for the support of government, it is provided “that the directors of the Centtal Bank be authorizedfd required to pay the appropriations msde by this and ax’ acts of the legislature, out of any current money in the Ce» trnl Bank, without referrence to the amount of the issues ;; said bank." In the act of 1840. making similar appropr* tious. it is provided.“that for the purpose of meeting theip propriations and defraying the expenses.- of government fa the political year 1841, the President and Directors ofi* Cen’ral Bank, are hereby directed to place to the credits the Treasurer of the State, from time to time, such * sums as may be required lo meet warrants drawn uponl* by his Excellency the Governor, and also to meet he Pie* iaent’s and Speaker’s warrants of present season; cstrpcj the same to tlie capital stockjof said bank, and to be certify by the Treasurer, entered Jpon the President and Director* receipts." Thus, instead of providing ways andmesuift the payment of the current expenses of the government, r*“ of alt other state, debts, in a par value currency, a legislature ordered an additional issue of more than d'y* , hundred thousand dollars of a depreciated currency, whir* the creditors of the state had to take at par. This me.ssrr, was a fraud on the ereditorsof the state, and an insult to u* I understanding of the people; for at the same session oi t* legislature, an ac: was passed, by which eight per test j bonds *ere to be issue! for ihe redemption of the note the Central Bank. The legislature orders tlie public etc*' itors to be paid in a depreciated currency; but afierrec- 1 ’ - ing this sort of currency, they may receive bonds deem able in five years, bearing an annual interest of ei: ■ | per centum. The whig legislature did not care »hf. the public creditor could wait five yesrs for h.s The issue Ilf the bonds is all that the legklatnt* couM for the relief of creditors who were all of them in nee- • what was due to them by the state. What was Jie quence ? that alt tho creditors received Central Bunk o “ at par. and as they could not wait five years for their S’® - ey, thev were obliged to pari with them, at a discounter itiff from 20 to 45 per cent., to capitalists who thereby 0-*^ an enormous profit, by bonding the notes.
