Famine is sweeping oyer these “ iittle specks on the ocean,” with far more tearfulness than the cholera in America. The vessels' from Portland anil Philadelphia, both with provisions for the dying, afforded new life to the almost dead. Not less than fhirly-three thousand out of one hundred thousand, have died within one short year. Tire scenes of wretchedness presented at Anfdneq, Bravo, anil Tago, are heyondslescriptior. “ ,\t St. Jago, there was hut little of it com paratively, except with those’ who flocked ilicre for relief from the oilier islands- Those of (lien) who still lived, were grouped togeth er in a large yard, under the direction of the police or the American Consul, and fed from provisions which our country has so kindly sent to them. The scene was an afflicting one. Here and there 1 was pointed to little orphan children, w ho had neither father, moth er, brother nor sirtei. left- Some of them tyerc sitting on the ground with a little „ar meiit thrown over tligm to screen them from the winds which were then blowing very cold ly, an 1 so far gone as to be entirely insensible oi' what was passing around them, arid .as if patiently waiting for death to relieve them from their sufferings. Others were walking' as mere skeletons on earth, crying with pite ous moans for“ bread but whose stomachs, when given, were too weak to drive any nour ishment from it. .Mothers, w ith nothing hut akin and hones themselves, w ere bow ing and courtesying for a copper to buy something for their children, with an im|«irluuity that uiigTit move a stone.

Ilad the ex ample, of Georgia, from Chisholm's case to TasscTs, been properly appreciated by her citizens, her Legislature luulnever dar ed to express an abhorrence of the acts of a sister state, tending to rescue her people from unconstitutional exaction. And even now, were the doctrines ol Nullification, properly understood, the Northern presses would not presume to cry out lor an in 'crease of protection, or the abolition of slavery. It is now a duty we owe to our country, drat this “much abused” doctrine should he explained to the ignorant, eluci dated to the mistaken, extricated from ‘the tansrling meshes of the sophist, divested of the sjieciotis tinsel which error has wraji ed around, and placed before a tree peo ple in the simple majesty of truth. Now,- while the question is being agitated, as to the extent of the Federal authority, is po»- culiarly the proper time to enquire, N\ hat are the rights reserved to the States, and what are the powers delegated to the Fe deral Government ? Now, while the spi rit of liberty still lingers on the soil of the South, and ere the royal purple wrap the President’s chair—Now, sow is the time to determine, if wo are the free citizens ot Sovereign Slates,or tho abject slaves ol a Consolidated Empire. Tho history of the heroic achievements of ottr ancestors is still ringing in our cars, and with a know ledge of what they dared for freedom, their sons are called upon to say what they will do to preserve-the liberty they have inhe j rited. They warred with the halter on | tlwir necks* but wc tyo not obnoxious to j the doom.'ofa traitor.. heir’s was the slern contest of the bailie field—our? theblood-1 less contest of the press. And shall we shrink from the task? Now, when the routed Federalists JBOI, have again rallied their ranks, shall the victorious co lumns of the Republicans falter at the sight ? Me trust not. fel'he banner under which Jefferson led on our fathers to vic tory, is again unfurled to the breeze, and will again float victorious over the sons of sires who conquered then. There can be now no disguising the matter. The prin ciples which have been promulgated bv the Federal Executive, as the permanent principles of our government, are in direct opposition lo the principles of the Repuh hean party, and are such as are held to be the characteristic tenets of the Fede ralists. The experience of years has stamped them as hostile to the interest, as well as the freedom of tho jieople, and .sub versive of the government, which it was the pride of our fathers to have establish, ed. These principles, it is insidiously sought to transplant into our own soil. Republicans of Georgia ! you have never shrunk lroin asserting and maintaining th; sovereignty of the state—have arfeve On those heretofore violent purtizans, w ho arc now so anxious to disenthral them selves from party distinctions, drawn from the name of men—scrutinize the acts of these new-dyed “Union Democratic Re publicans.” It is-not the first time that Federalists and Consolidationists have sought to enrol themselves in the ranks of the Republican party.

I am in favor of Internal Improvements made in the States by the Ger. ral Government—aud still 1 am in fnvor of State Rights.” The. above, is said by the Editor of the Richmond Enquirer, to be the new cheed among politicians. The veteran editor is becoming less observant of tlie manners of the times than pertains to his station. The newest creed that wc have heard* we subj<4ii for the benefit of tlie non-com iniuul party, that th«v may know which side to jump! The. Newest Creed! I relieve that the Constitution is the bond of Union between the States and the limit to tlie exercise of the delegated jjow ers of the Federal Government; that the Constitution was formed by flic States ; 'but that, although they have the right to judge when its provisions arc violated, they ought nni to assume the power to re dress themselves. I imi.rnx e in the efficacy of State Inter position to protect her citizens from the operation bf unconstitutional laws; but that such interposition should not he ex ercised beyohd humble petition and re monstrance to the majority in Congress; and that, when a state ekesimes to poise herself on her sovereignty, site is guilty of rebellion against the Federal Govern ment, and is irso facto, separated from the Union. 1 believe that the State Right’s doc trines are the only conservative princi ples of a Constitutional Union, but that such rights embrace only the regulations of the internal administration and domestic policy of the States. I believe that Daniel Webster has no principles in common with the advocates of State Rights. I have heretofore de nounced his doctrines, and reprobated the policy of the party of which he isntnv the acknowledged leader, hut I am ready to side with him in politics, and support his pretensions, to'become President of the L - nited Suites. I have heretofore been the most unspar ing enemy of Consolidationists and Fede ralism. I have ridiculed 1 their theories, warred with their policy, denounced the chiefs of the party as corrupt and sclf-in. terested, seeking rather their own aggran dizement than the welfare and interest of their country. Vet 1 am ready to go heart and hand with these “ mine ancient ene mies,” to pull down and destroy the bul warks of that faith, which has been built ut> by my friends; and all this am 1 ready to do, because he whom I have often de nounced, is unexpectedly striking on my side, “I’ll have .no fellowship with him.” 1 belies e that the States have no right to resist an encosstiti-tional law ; but I have upheld the State of Georgia in nul lifyuig flu,- provisions ot a constitutional LAW: for I AMIN FAVOR OF STATg ItlOllTS.’’ I believe in the unconstitutfonality of the 1 arifl ; yet I am of opinion it should be submitted to; aud if Congress should pass a dozen more unconstitutional acts, it is my opinion that they would be the lavv ot the land, which it would be treason for a sovereign state to resist— For I am in favor of State Rights !! I believe that when a state declares a law unconstitutional, and therefore, void within her limits, it is strictly lawful for the Federal Government to proceed aud enforce the opcratioii of such law by tlie bayonets of the National Army For 1 a.m in favor of state rights !!!

Yy opinions on thoso constitutiomil relations which subsist between the Federul Government and ihe States, have never been concealed; and 1 had supposed, were well known at least in the.midland parts ol Georgia. The Federal Government, was brought into existence by the Constitution; was created for specihc purposes, comparatively few, buuoi the highest national importance. Restricted in its action lo the sphere prescribed to it by the Constitution, its value to the American people col lectively and indiv dually has and in all probability' will continue to satisfy the highest expectations of those whose wisdom planned it. On appropriate subjects, congressional legislation will continue to adyuncclhe interests of the whole, w ithout imping ing upon, or • urtailing those of any latitude or sec tion in this widely extended confederacy. But it is quite impossible to devise a general code of munici pal law*, which would satisfy the demands of one, without giving annoyance to other states—and it was therefore most wisely ordained, that the sub jects of Federal jurisdiction should bo few, and those chiefly of a national character. No one At all acquainted with the history of the Federal government und its several administrations, can doubt its tendency jo transgress the boundaries prescribed by the (/otistitutidn. This is undoubted ly exemplified in the charters of the United States Bank, the Alien and Sedition laws and by no moans tlie least enormous, the Tariffs ot 1816, *24 mid *2B Against the mischiefs of such assumptions of power. 1 know-that politicians may be found, who maintain that adequate guards are to be found in the intelli gence, justice aud energy of the Supreme Court.— But the supreme Court is part and parcel of the same government, und will generally, if not alw'ays, take sides with tho administration, b« nt Republican, Fcdefal, or tvhat not. The Judiciary is by far the most irresponsible department of government—is mote tWan any other, alieuuted from all concern or sympathy with popular or Mate*Rights, and kas thus, in our political history, given very few or no manifestations of temperance or self- denial in the exercise of official pow'er.

It ia estimated that Louisiana iius lost ono-third ol her populjlioti. by cholera, since its first appear ance in New-Orleans. A little town on the Ohio (iver, opposite Wheeling, named Bridgeport, containing a population ot be tween 120 anil 201) inhabitants, was visited by thu cholera; und in 48 hours after the appearance ofthe pestilence, there were nearly thirty deaths ! A paragraph has been very geperaUy published ill the papers lutcly, stating that Gen. Hampton hail lost 700 negroes from one ol his plantations, and had died from cholera. That statement proves to be incorrect, as stated below by the Georgia Courier. “ 1 Itrough a friend ol Gen. Hampton wo are ena bled to correct the account we copied in our last, rc lalivo to the allcdgcd grent mortality on his planta tion, near Xow-Orlcaits. He has not lost more than 20 of his slaves by cholera, and the number reported to have died would embrace all aud tifo're than be. long to that establishment.” A Swearing J iisticc, and a Sworn Marriage. 1 he Lyon Record relates a laughable anecdote cd* a Justice ol the I’cace, residing a few vears since i t the western part of Massachusetts, which is too good to be lost. The magistrate aforesaid, was call, ed the swearing justice, aud tho sequel shows that he had a fair claim to the tilde. At a certain March meeting, having been, as usual, laboriously engaged through the day, until late in the evening,' chiefly in administering the oaths of office, he returned homo overcome with fatigue and the effects of transient stimulants, and throwing hiutsell into his chair drop, ed io sleep—the form ol the oaths administered bv him through the day, continued to buzz in hi. ears like the sound of fife and drum in the head of a sol. titer the night after.u muster, when a wedding cou. pie and suite presented themselves at the house for marriage. His good wile, a little discomposed by this sudden and uncxjtecrcd visit ran to her husband und called him by nanin, shook him violently by tho shoulder, and repeated, Mr. Cl Mr. C! do pray wake up here’s a couple to be married. Mr. C. partly waking and rubbing his eyes, looked upon the couple standing directly before'him. Are you thu couple? said lie, addressing himself to the Hynio. trial candidates. The bashful couple obeyed. The Justice proceeded-" You severally, solemnly swear, that you will perform the duties of your respective offices, faithful ly and imparlially, according to your best skill and judgment, so help you, &c. Tho con. fused couple, und thoir witnesses and friends waitod us if for something further. That’s all, said thejus tice, except my fees for administering the oath. The fees were paid, and the astonished couple, with plicir associates, retired, alternately agitated with (anxiety, doubt, and laughter, at the strange occur, rence. while the justice never dreamed of any thine out of the Way, till informed by the faithful spouse,' when it was too lat. to rectify the mistuke.—Bosmv Times, The Treasurer of the Colonization Society haa received a letter of credit for one hundred pounds sterling from Glasgow, and fifteen pounds nine teen shillings, being the amount of collections in Berth.

IKELA\I> Poor Ireland ! while philosophy rains' down her tears and benefactions in torrents, not a drop falls to your share. You ask for bread and you receive a stone ; you ask for raiment and you receive a winding sheet; you demand equal rights and they send you martial laws; you ask for justice and they send you mercenary cut throats to administer it! An amnvof military ti the proctors is let loose upon you ; the jus tice comes among you only to read the riot act; the rich man to demand his rents;' and the clergyman to collect his tithes at the pointofthe bayonet. He preaches the gospel of peace to a people against w hom he is making, bloody and relentless war; 'to inculcate flic duties of charityamoug those he is fobbing oftheir last dinner; and to enforce the obligation! of mercy, by showing no mercy. Betrayed, sometimes by her friends; sometimes by her enemies , sometimes by a CaStlereagh, and at others by a Wellington ; continually resisting in vein, and only rivetting her chains by ev ery attempt to break them—lreland exhib its a practical proof of the truth of the max im, Aut nunquam tentes antperfice —cither never attempt or accomplish. Unavailing 1 resistance only furnishes an apology for new acts of tyranny. When an oppress ed nation places itself in array against the abuses of authority ; it should do as we did here in the U. States—pledge “ liie, fortune, and honor”; and it should redeem the pledge at the price of ils heart’s, blood. Lomk«n rs said to lie one of the healthi est placed in the world.
