Mi. Rives, fn his late letter, says: “ On the sub
ject of the TarifT, I do not hesitate to say that Mr.
Clay’s creed, developed in his recent letters, is in
every respect as just, assound.nnd unexceptionable
as that of Mr. Van Buren, and his practice infinite
ly belter."
Now, what is Mr. Clay's creed, “developed in
his recent letters?” In his letter to Joel Branham,
dated 23:1 July, 1843, he says: “I voted for the
Tariff of 181C. 1824, and 1832." In his letter to
James A. Meriwether, dated October 2d, 1843, he
says: •* You are right, so far as the record is con
cerned, in your statement, that I did not vote for j ly; another proof, if any indeed were wanting, that 'low pri
395,833 bales compared with 1041. Of the new American
crop only 20.U00 hales were received last jeir against 100,-
000 iroj-oned at the same period in 1842. The export con
sisted of77.000 bales in 1843; of 76,860 in 1842 and of 56,100
in 1641. The stock on Uie 30th December last, was 633,900
bales, against 430,600 at the same period in 1642, and 429 •
8o0 bales in 1841. The total deliveries for home consump
tion (min the ports ofihe United Kingdom in 1843, were 1,.
390,988 bales, being an average weekly delivery of 26,730
bales, against 22.920 bales in 1842, and 22,032 bales in 1811
It is however, estimated that spinners hold 30.000 bales
more than they d.don the 31st December, 1842. and this
quantify must therefore be deducted from the apparent con
sumption of the last year. The prices of the mudling and
lair qualit es of American at the e ose of last month were
nearly the same as the quotations at the tame period of 1742
but the middling qualities of American were l(d, Brazil Id,
Egyptian 1$, and Su-at fd per lb. higher than on the 7th Ju-
jj; which was the extreme point of depression, the stock iu
Liverpool being then 964,370 bales. Tlte demand fur con-

the annual circular, dated 30th ult. of an eminent brokering

OBITUARY.
" In the midst of life, we are in death. 1
Died, on the night of the tat of January, in the 53d year
of liia age. after a severe auack of the Tyler Grippe, the
celebrated steed, generally known in these parts by the
engaomen of “OLD BALL." His many virtues and no
ble quahties have often been commented upon and gene-al
ly advocated by his afflicted swner. The citizens of Perry
can all certify how often they have been delighted, as this
noble son of the Turf exhibited to their astonished eyes his
majestic form, aad played in auch striking grandeur over
their streets. With a disposition entirely amiable, he is
entitled to the good will and kind remembrance of every
citizen. Forbearing in his nature and kind in hi* feelings,
his generosity has too often been imposed upoh. With a
high tense of honor, he has ever acted by the proverb, that
-honesty is the best policy.’’ An instance, however, is on
record, from which it app>ars, that his unfortunate owner,
some few years ago. having placed him within the tempta-
aion of a corrupt thief, he was unthoughtedly seduced into
the path of error; but, like the forlorn prodigal he return
ed,confessed his error, and was pardoned. The principal,
however, in the offence, received letters of recommenda
tion to the Manual Labor School at Milledgeville. and is
now doubtless a pupil of reform. Since that event, the sob-
jeci of the present sketco ha* preserved a uniform conduct,
and a character like Ctcsar would have his wife, * above
suspicion ” He has left a large circle of friends and ac
quaintances to mourn and regret their loss—and to profit by
site moral, he has proved that " all roust perish." P-
]The Democratic Review.
Tha January number of the Democratic Review is filled
with articles extremely able and interesting. It is embel
liabe with a line engraving of the noble Lewi* F. Lino, it
it a faithful likeness. The Brat article is upon the State Debt*
and treat! the subject in a powrful manner.. An article « pon
the subject of the * Democratic Presidential nomination,”
presents that question in its true light. We can't see how
•ny candid, i-«->lieent man can resist the conclusions at
which it arrives. If we can get space, we shall make liber
al extract* from it. J. 8. Dwight has an article upon the
character of Haydn, which is full of interest. Judge Carle
k>n of Louisiana, gives the results of "t «cnt ramble a-
mong the peasantry of Knglrnd.” The condition of the slaves
of the South, so far is the comforts of life are concerned, is
immeasurably bettor than that of England’s peasantry, if
Judge Carlcteu's story in bat half true, and of its fidelity
there can lie no doubt. The "Tale* of the Prairie.” by L.
Leslie, are continued from the December number. There
is a vert instructive review of Tennyson's Povtns. Nathan
iel II iwihrone contributes "The Christmas Banquet." Whit
tier furnishes some noble lines to the memory of Channing.
There are several other fine pieces of poetry, but we have
n >t space to allude farther to the commits.—Concord Pa-
I iot.
ecs of the raw material tend to an extraordinary develope
ment of national industry and to a corresponding increaso,
it Is to be hoped of national prosperity.” In referenre to
the future they state, "it is the extent of the coming crop
which under the present favorable appearance of trade,must
be the pivot upon which the future is to turn. It is the grea
ter or less degree of truth which will be found to exist in
the statements made upon this point wlilrh must finally de
cide the whole question. It is certain thatnnr present large
stock may make us rather less dependent upon coming sup
ply thnn usual; but still at the existing rate of consumption,
this would soon he absorbed. If the crop should prove not
more than 1,750,000 bales, as many suppose, even in adding’
to this 70,000 bales of 1844—45, the quantity to be chipper
to this country, assuming that f>e States will require 330.000
bales, and the eontinent 550.000 bales, cannot exceed 920,-
000 bales which added to the quantity tow on hand in the
ports, and deducting 100,000 fur export, would only leave
1,303,000 bales for the consumption of Great Britain in 1845
Such a state of things needs no comment, though it is dear
that, long before we onld be reduced to this extremity, pri
ces would have risen so much as to diminish the consump
tion and to establish a balance between it and the supply.”
IRELAND.
Nothing of interest occurred at the weekly meeting ofihe
Repeal Association on Monday. Tom Steele took the lead
in O’ConneH's absence. The rent for the week ending De
cember 3. was £995.
The great Limerick dinner to Mr- Smith O’Brien, to eel-
ehrate bis accession to the repeal cause took place on Mon
day se'night.
Mr. O’Brien proposed, "Daniel O’Connell, the Liberator
of Ireland.” Iu acknowledging the compliment. Mr. O'Con
nell uttered a good deal like former remarks about the pro-
gres of Repeal. He alluded to the trial, with a kind of an
ticipatory protest against the verdict.
He mingled exortations to tranquility with the usual mys
tification about war; teeming to threaten pessive hostility in

The iTIcihoilisX Conference.
On Monday of last week, the day appointed for the meet
ing of the Annual Conference in this t'.iiy, it was opened at
ike Lyceum llatl. Bishop Soule presiding. Owing to the
heavy rains, and the impassable condition of tne roads, the
number of Clergymen in attendance for the first few days,
was not large—although by the close of the week, there
wis a very respectable collection. It is matter of wonder
that mmy at them were ab e at all to reach Columbus, for
it rarely occurs, we imagine, that suen an oward circum
stances accompany the meeting of this religious ood.v
Since the opening of the Conference, there has been di
vine sersice, regularly, every evening, at the Methods I
Church—and on Sunday, the Baptist Church was also uccu-
pie I by Ministers of the Methodist persuasion.
In the morning. Bishop Soule officiated at the Methodist
tnd Mr, Wightraia, of Charleston, at the Baptist Church.
At 3 o'clook in the afternoon, Mr. Parks occupied the Metb
odist, and Mr. G. F. Pierce the Baptist Church—and at
Light the congregations in the two churches were address
so by Dr. Pierce and Mr. Evans.—Columbus Times.

IVcw-York Money Market,
Week ending Jan. 20.
Money since our last notice, has become considerably
more in request, and the quantity of paper offering at the
banks is muck increased. The inquiry for money results
from the continuance of the large operations in cotton, with
out corresponding shipments, and from the disposition of the
banks to prepare for making a favorable statement for the
quarter ending on the 31st inst. Considerable diversity of
opinion exists as to the future course of the money market;
some looking with confidence to a still greater inquiry and a
consequent advance in the rates of interest, and others for a
reduction on the 1st proximo to the former mininum rates.
A change in the course of the cotton trade, which cannot,
we tlnnk.be long delayed, would, of itself, make a sensible
difference in the inquiry foi money. It is now held to a
considerable extent by city acceptances, which the banks
have discounted, and by doing which they have been ena
bled to keep up their lines nearly to the m ark. As this pa
per ma'ures, and therotton is shipped, the banks receive
back their money from the proceeds of the sterling bills
drawn against it. and nnless paper to an equivalent extent
arises from other business operations, they must again re
sort to some other mode of employing their means. In our
view the general businessbf the country has not been suffi
ciently extended to cause any great demand for money, and
it now exists onlv from the operation of extraordinary
causes, and must cease when those causes are removed.
The indisposition of the banks to loan upon stocks has
produced an unfavorable effect upon this description of se
curities. and prices have generally receded. Those of the
sounder descriptions are less affected than the more specu
lative ; the quantity of the latter in the hand* of dealers be
ing larger and loans procured upon them with more diffi
culty. V
