In return for this, let them be sued by their employers if they neglect their duty; let those who hold the brief receive the fee; we shall then have no absentees; the fear ol’losing his guinea or two will ensure the advocate's punctuality more effectually than that ol losing the cause of his heart broken client. notes by anotiieuhand. 1. This is literally true, hut figurative ly a falsehood. They give altornics credit, send in their bills us regvdivi-ly u« bilkers, and dun the dilatory without remotse, not in person, but by proxy. Their lean, hun gry cadaverous clerks do most certainly, so far as words go. “ demand and sue for fees.” It may not be generally known, that by the singular machinery of the pro fessional barrister’s clerk is paid not by his master’s clients. If, with a briefi you give a barrister a guinea, you must give his boy half-crown. The clerk, therefore has a good excuse for dunning, without aspersing the sublime dignity, the lofty ele vation above all pecuniary motives or a desire—of his ravenous master. He, the clerk, “ is so short of the needful, having a no salary, that he is really compelled to get in his half-crowns,’"hut if these be offer ed him—he recoils with horror from the hare idea of such a thing, he could not pos sibly take them without their respective appendiges—the guinea*! it would lie very irregular.

It cannot, however, be denied that men at the bar, who are not overburtheued with business, do some times omit to put a brief down in the bill— if their client be an attorney who regular ly employs them, if the action has been brought with a view to obtain atonement for some piece of villainy perpetrated by such an attorney, and if “ his learned friend” fail by forensic fraud to skreen him from the consequences. But in cases where all these postulates are present should the attorney—hoping by such rash ness, to give the advocate an additional stimulus —have handed over the fee bofbre liand, however disastrous the event of the trial may prove—he never sees a farthing of his coin again. Barristers never ref and —“it would be irregular.” If you throw a sovereign into the sea—there is some chance of your finding it in the stomach of a casual codfish, bought by you at Billings gate for a crown, but nothing ever returns from the charybdisofa counsellor’s mar.

New AouKjOct. 17. Henry Clay - . —Previous to Mr. Clay’s ar rival, the committee of arrangement had ta ken, for ins accommodations, the apartments occupied by Gen. Jackson, during his late visit to this city. At eleven o’clock yester day morning Mr. Clay, accompanied by the committee, proceeded to the Govcrnoi’s room, in the City llall, which had been ap propriated, by the Corporation to his use. He was there met by the Mayor of the city, who introduced a number of gentlemen. During the day, a vast concourse of citizens, members of tile Chamber of Commerce and others, proceeded in a body, from the Ex. change to the Hall, to pay their respects to this distinguished visitor. The Grand Jury also waited upon him. Mr. Clay remained in the Governor’s room until 3 o’clock, when he retired, accompanied by the committee, a portion of whom dined with him. In the evening Air. Clay visited the Mer cantile Library. There lie was received in the Director’s room and then conducted into the reading room, where he replied in his u suul happy manner to an appropriate address made to him on behalf of the Association. While there, he received an invitation to vis it ihe Mechanics’ Library, whither hu also repaired. If it were possible that any tiling could add infamy to the already mfimous character of that common slanderer of all that is honorable i.t the countjy, the Washington Globe, it would be tile following notice of Mr. Clay’s Visit to ibis section of the country.

Mr. Clay, it seems, has gone to Philadel phia. ills visit had been expected curlier, and the Hank presses announced his progress some time before it commenced, Such was the anxiety of his patron, the Hank, to avail itself of his council in the painful circum stances into which he had brought it. It is well known that Messrs. Clay anil Sergeant, ami their friends of the Haltiinorc National Republican Convention, made it a sine qua non with the Bank managers,that they should demand a charter, and enlist for the election eering campaign, the price of the future support of the National Republican party. .Mr. Biddle heartily engaged in the alliance and (lashed into the war, purse in hand. He lias at last shared the fate of his confederates, Messrs. Clay and Sergeant. The public purse is taken from thisjtriumviratc, as far as the deposites are concerned, and the worthy pa pers are now holding a Divan at Philadelphia, to concert measures to revenge their disgrace,’ as there is little hope of retrieving their af fairs. it is a praise-worthy solicitude which has brought Mr. Clay, at this moment, when the Hank is in cjctremis. lie can give con solation, if he cannot succor.” I’he best rebuke that could he given this insolent slanderer, is lobe found in the unan imous vole of our Jackson Common Council, placing the Governor’s Room at the service ol Mr. Clay during his stay in the city. Ii is in these words : “I’he Hoard of Aldermen being informed I hat our distinguished fellow citizen the Hon. i/enry Clay, would shortly make a visit of some days to tiiis city, it was unanimously Resolved, That the Governor’s Room in the City /fall he tendered to Mr. Clav for his use while in tlie city, and that the Clerk of the Common Council transmit to Mr. Clay a co py of this resolution.” In addition to this our fellow citizens gen erally, without distinction of pa.tv, vie with each other in demonstrating their respect for this distinguished statesman, whose name is honorably and inseparably connected with tlie most trying periods in the history of our country.— Cuur. and Enq. From the Alabama Journal. A large and respectable meeting of the citizens of Macon and the ajacenl counties, was held at Hirdsvillc, in Macon countv on the —lst ult., for the purpose of taking into consideration the recent assumptions of pow er on the part ot the Feilerul Government within the limits ol the sovereign State of Alabama, (sovereign for all the pur [loses of local jurisdiction and their attempts to force the same at the point of the bayonet. A strong argument with slaves, hut not believed in by freeman. The meeting was organized bv appointed Laid IF. Harris, Chairman, and Allen C. Stillman, Secretary. A committee of five was appointed to prepare a re[iort to the meeting on the affairs referred to their con sidcration. The follo.ving gentlemen com posed the committee : Bird Fitzpatrick, John W. Hinson, Joseph Fields, James Courson, sen. and William Dick; who after retirin'' and due consultation, returned and reported the following preamble and resolutions, which after being severally taken up and consider ed, were unanimously adopted by acclama tion. Whereas, the acts of the legislature of Al abama extending the jurisdiction of the State over the Creek Nation, organizing the gov eminent of the same, and dividing it into counties, is an acknowledgement of the right of the citizens of the State to settle on the unappropriated lands of the same, and enti tles them to all the common to the citizens of the State. And further, that the Federal authorities have ac knowledged our right to settle here by the letter of the Secretary of War in answer to our delegation in Congress. Thercfare, we arc not to he considered as a hand of lawless intruders, to be evicted from our possessions, reclaimed by tlie severest toils a:,d privations from the forest, by any olHecr, at the point of tlie bayonet; for we have intruded on no im provement of the Indians, nor appropriated any things of their., to our use. Resolved t'hat we acknowledged no local jurisdiction but tlie State of Alabama, and deny the right of the Federal authorities to interfere with us in any manner whatever as respects our settling in the Creek Nation And as citizens of the sovereign State of Ala bama, wc claim its protection and appeal to its tribunals against Federal usurpations. Resolved, That it comports not with the dignity and character of the sovereign State of Alabama to sillier its laws to he trampled on, its citizens murdered, six of its counties depopulated, and thousands of families turned houseless, homeless wanderers on the cold charity of the world, by an armed force clothed with a little brief authority from the Executive of the United States. Resolved, That we respond to the senti ments of the Governor of this State, in his letter to the Secretary of War, and receive it as a pledge that the rights of the State will lie supported. Resolved, That wc requnst the counties of the Creek Nation to appoint delegates to meet at the house of Gen. Thomas S. Wood ward, in Macon county, on the third Monday in October next, to consult on such measures as are connected with the general welfare of the settlers in the Creek Nation. Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, that certain individuals holding ap pointments under the Federal Government, and a few men residing among the Indians, have exerted an unfriendly inllucncc on the minds of the Chiefs against settlers, in order to promote their views of speculation ; and but for their influence so exerted, the citizens would not have been complained against. LAIRD W. HARRIS, Cba’n Allen C. Stillman, Sec'rv. Amendment of the Constitution. We have read with attention and entire approbation, tlie article which we republish from the ‘United Staes Telegraph’ on the subject of amending the Constitution, so as to secure the election of the President to the people. We join, with the Telegraph m the hope that ail parties will join, us they ought, in supporting the measure proposed : It will lie remetuliered that Gen. Jackson, when lie first came into office, and before he had fully tasted lliu sweets of power, and discovered that “Ihe people”might he man aged ao us to allow him oi become “the got - GEORGIA TIMES AND STATE RIGHTS’ ADVOCATE* eminent,” himself recommended that the President should not be re-eligible. lie af terwards, it is true, flew into a towering rage on Mr. McDuffie’s proposing to carry bis own proposal into effect, so as to prevent bis se cond election. But now that he lias made his rule conveniently stretch to as to cover his second term, it is to be hoped he will not for his successor’s sake, prevent its be coining absolute ; and though there are rn tnors th a t lie lias declared he will hold on un til death, unless secure of a successor of his own appointment, we find that tile collar press is also calling for an amendment of the Constitution, giving the election to the peo ple. We shrewdly suspect, however, that they will not heartily support a plan so fair as that which we publish. But, as one if them savs, “.Von* verrons—Charleston iMrr. Col. Drayton in 1828. —This gentleman who, in ’32, voted for a bill to repeal the Constitution, and crush a sovereign State of the Union, held, hut four years before that, rhe following language : “When the Govern ment is guilty of usurpation or abuse if |mw er—(for abuse of [lower may be as intolerable as the usurpation of it) manifesting a system of lawlessness and tyranny, not only are we justifiable in casting it off, but we should be traitors to ourselves, if we did not.”—Again: “The riglit'nf a State to withdraw from the IJ ninn, is unquestionable. The people ofevery State are sovereign : sovereignty is supreme: it can only lie limited by itself. The people did not relinquish it, when they granted cer tain portions of power, lor certain purposes, to tlie Government of the United States; they never parted with the sovereign right to de cide in what cases they might annul an exis ting, and create another Government—that right was unalienable. (S. Review : Georgia Controversy.) What will the political friends of the Colonel—the collar press, say to this? He admits the right to secede whilst they deny it. lie admits the absolute sovereign ty of the States, they contend for a “quali lied” sovereignty. Yet is not the Col. one of their oracles !— Char.

(ks~The western weekly Review, which we have before noticed for its candour arid ability, contains the following paragraph, n is an avowed Federal print ; yet character ized by more liberality than any we know. It deserves much credit for its independent anil honorable course ; particularly .is it is located in Tennessee. But to the paragraph: The editor of the Lynchburg Virginian, a zealous anti administration paper, talks a bout the l’rocrustian process which lie says has been made use of to torture nullification out of tlie Resolutions of ’9B. Procrustian process lutlge ! if indeed such process has been used at all, it has been bv those timid, time serving presses, and politicians, who are afraid of tlie honest truth, and anxiously for the preservation of their partizan interests, arc endeavoriug by bold assertion alone, to induce a belief that these resolutions, con tain no such heresy as that of that of nullifi cation. Rut they cannot do it. The resolu tion expressly declares that Nullification is the righful remedy. The damning record is written in characters too legible to be mis understood, and too deep ever to he educed or forgotten. Trouble in the Wigwam. —The Al bany Regency is in convulsions. It seems that Gov. Marey, is a man of quite as much tact as Mr. Van Buren, und infi nitely his superior in talents, has turned his back upon the Regency, and thrown himself into tlie arms of the people, oince his elevation to tlie Governorship of New York, this gentleman has obtained a pop ularity almost canal to that which I?e xv:« oiruion once enjoyed—and he is now supposed to be a stronger man with the e lectois of that State than Mr. Vtm Buren. Well may the latter say of his rebellious general— " High reaching Buckingham grows [circumspect.’' He may serve the Vice President as Mchemct Ali of Egypt has served Sultan Mahmoud. If Gov. Marey ‘cuts' the Re gency, he cuts the throat political of Mar tin Van Buren. Aud so we say to Win. L. Marcv— ‘Hail to (lice, thane of Cawdor, Greater than all, by the all hail hereafter!’ We have for some time expected that someone of Mr. Van Burcn's long headed ‘Regents’ would get the power of the State of New York into his own hands, aad set up for himself. And now— ‘The hour has come! and the MAN'!’ [Winchester Republican. Ameiuhncnts to the Constitution. —The plan for amending tbs Constitution of the United States, relative to the election of President and Vice-President promised not many weeks ago by tlie United States Telegraph, appear ed in that paper of Ist instant; and will lie found in our columns to-day. It proposes “to dispense with all superfluous machinery ;” to abrogate the electoral college ; to substi tute the |iupular voice, preserving the relative weight of the States and of tlie people ; and to limit the term of service to five years. By this amendment, the dangers of an election by the House of Representatives will be en tirely nqoidcd. by sending back the election to the puoplc until they shall have made a choice for themselves. On the second trial, however, they will be required to decide be tween the highest candidates. This plan, we are assured by the Tele graph, is the work of a distinguished \ irgini an,anda Democrat of the Jeffersonian school, one, who, in days of trial, lias always stood up for popular rights and popular privileges.— The Evening Star says it will be presented to Congress by Mr. Bibb of Kentucky.

By the arrival of the packet ship John Jay, Capt. Glover, we have received London pa pers of the evening of the Dili of Septcmhei and Liverpool of Saturday tlie 7 th. The John jay, sailed on Sunday the Bth. The young Queen Donna Maria was expec ted in England, after having been allowed to traverse France, though traveling in her own name, without the slightest attention on the part of the government. This neglect is still attributed by some, to her refusal to marry the second son of Louis Philippe, in conse quence of having fixed her affections on tcc Duke of Lenchtenbcrg, her mothcr-in law’s brother. It is stated in a Havre [taper that the Duke had repaired to that place incogni to for the purpose of meeting his sister and Donna Maria, but that an order was sent him to quit Havre immediately. Another journal, however, states that he was living in the same hotel with the Queen w ithout meeting any difficulty from the Government. Be tiiis as it may, it is not improbable that the King of the French was desirous to pro mote an alliance between Donna Maria and his son. In the position he now stands, it would be a desirable event, inasmuch as it would strengthen Inin on Ins throne and flat ter the pride of the French people ; but on the other hand, it is equally probable, that England would not have looked at a connex with pleasure, which would no doubt result in weakening the ties which have so long connected her with Portugal, and enabled her to exercise a paramount influence over the politics of that country. The papers arc filled with afflicting details of the effects of a most violent gale on tlie coast of England and France, Belgium ami Holland, on the 31st Aug. and Sept. Be sides the convict ship, the Amphitritc, of whose loss we are already informed, and by which 100 female convicts perished, an En glish East Indiana loaded with indigo, and a Dutch vessel with 600 hogsheads of sugar, have been also lost, with numerous coas ting vessels, steamers, &c. In short, the de struction of life aud properly appears to have been immense. Advices from Ostend have been received in London, which stated that an American vessel, outward bound, had been lost off Dunkirk, with 180 passengeis, all of whom had perished. It appears it is proposed to ship the Polish refugees in Galucia and in Switzerland cither to England or to America and several hun dreds of them are stated to have been already sent to Trieste, ready for embarkation. The affairs ofSwitzcrland remain unsettled ; ar.d the Legislative Council of Neufchatol was a bout to petition the King of Prussia to sepa rate that Canton from the Confederation. LONDON, Sept. 6. Tlie public will tie grateful to learn that the first accounts received from the West In dies, since the arrival there of the resolu tions of the House of Commons respecting the slavery question, are favorable. It was yesterday mentioned in our city article, that papers had been received from Jatnacia up to the 20th July, in which the satisfaction of that island at the amended, or altered minis terial plan, was loudly expressed. In the Antigua//eralil of the 80th July, the editor expresses his own delight, and that of all class es of the inhabitants of that colony at the plan in general. It is, curious that the only point on which a “shadow of dissatisfaction” has been expressed, is the apprenticeship provi- sion. T„*. of LiERItY. — File Garde National of Marseilles of the ‘27th >i!t. says— “ The Countess de Lucheti-Palli lias left Na ples for Rome, whence she will continue her journey to Prague, via Florence and Massa, where the Ducal Palace has been prepared for her reception.

Don Miguel bail confided to M. de Bourmont the Portfolio of tlie Ministry of War until the recovery of the Count St. I-orenzo. The in telligence from Lisbon received by this channel is not of a later date than the 18th. King Ferdinand, at the latest dates, was still alive, but on a near approach to the grave. Tlie political intrigues heretofore ad verted to, continued in full operation- There is no announcement of the recogni tion of Donna Maria, as Queen of Portugal, by the Government of France, although that measure was hourly expected. A report had prevailed in London that Don Miguel had retired into Spain, and that his army was broken up ; it was believed howev er that it was fabricated for stockjobbing pur poses. British House of Peers. —The Marquis ol Westminster has given notice, that early in the session of Parliament lie will move the* rescinding of the standing order of tho House ol Lords which empowers Peers to vote by proxy. The reason assigned for this proceed ing is, that the Bill for the Emancipation of the Jews was lost by proxies, not by the votes of those who were present in the House, on the the throw ingout of that measure. The assumed right of Peers to legislate hj proxy is certainly a monstrous absurdity.— That votes of members who may be in tlie remote parts of the kingdom, or be absent abroad, anil of course ignorant of what is go ing on in Parliament, shall lie used by party men to effect their purposes, and have the same weight with the host and most talented members of that body, who have heard the arguments, pro and con, must be a great evil, and cannot be too soon abolished.

As far as we were able to judge* the parts were well cast; and barring some few inaccuracies, and a little awkwardness, (probably the embarrassment of a first appearance,) the w hole went oIT well.

The Southern presses have been loud in their denunciations of the fanatiscism of Garrison and his associates. They sufficiently expressed the opinion of the whole South,in regard to thoefficaey of the measures adopted and advocated by such men. It is unnecessary therefore for us to say more. We would observe however, in passing that there are none who held the movers of this lately projected scheme of Emancipation in more thorough and ineffable contempt than ourselves- Aside from their insolent presumption in eonceiv ing that their advice is necessary to the due ad ministration of this government; their impertinent intermeddling in the concerns of private property is calculated to excite our ridicule ; unprincipled and bigoted as they aro in their conduct, we foe| ourselves constrained to pity thfdr delusion, even while smile we at thpir impotence. As for Garrison the sanctified apostle of fanaticism, we would award hint our indignation if lie were no l already beneath our conic njyt. It is for this very reason that we have been qt w illing to render ou r columns the vehicle by which he might attain the notoriety lie covets so intensely, We are satisfi ed that he should rest contented with the smal] modicum of glory be has already obtained, con scious that his fame is as unenviable as that of the barbarian who fired Diana’s Temple.

Does it become Georgia, whose pride and glory it has al" ways been that she has acted in the conception and execution of her Stale policy with the rapid- ity of thought, that her measures have been car ried through, w hile others were deliberating, does it become her to play the braggart and vapor a" bout the course she will pursue ? No. The whole machinery of public abolition meeting and constitution making which has been so lately ex hibited in Ncxv-York, we can laugh at amide. spise; but w hen these ill digested and unorganis ed attempts of a handful of fanatics shall be di rected and arrayed by the arm of n* wer ; when Congress, shall find in the Constitution, [or decree it to be there,] a clause permitting them to destroy our property; we shall find no dilficulty in having the obnoxious act of usurpation prompt ly and effectually nullified.

Here we unfortunately depreciate the works of our own citizens to aggrandize those of foreign ers: in England, no work is held in greater esteem there than Dwight’s System— in lexicography, no work is more esteemed than W ebster’s—and in mathematics, none is so approved as Bouditch’s Laplace. Cooper’s new novel, The Headsman, has been published in London now about tvro months. He lias got about 1,000 guineas from his puldi.-liers there, and about $»,000 from Ins publishers in this city: and indeed, for most of his lute works, he has received tho same amount. Our authors have a mani fest advantage in their privilege to secure a copyright in England.—iV. Y. Taper. A Miracle. —About the beginning of last week, a deaf and dumb printer presented himself at our office, askingcharity by writing and by signs. We asked him if he would w ork, lio signified his assent most readily and willingly, and accordingly took his sta tion at the case.—For several days he worked very faithfully, with all the imperturbable gravity of an Eastern Brahmin,keeping pencil and paper by his side for the purpose of wri ting down the very few wants and wishes, w hicli he deemed it necessary to conininiii cate. Indeed, he seldom **c.tc any thing out --money” and “copy,” and his rigid fea tures seemed to have never relaxed into a smile, or gathered into a frown. On Satur day last, one of his co-optrators jogged him with bis elbow, and by signs drew his atten tion to St me matter which lie had in his hand. Johnny was taken by surprise, ami to the as tonishment of every one in the office, ctird out in a most audible and distinct tone, “(li/ yes, that's Jot." One simultaneous roar from foreman, ji-urs, devil, pressmen and all,succeeded : hut John ny not in the least disconccrned, turned round to his case, and began to pick up type with the same tuff xible gravity as before,as if it was no concern of his. Ever since this miraculous restoration to speech, he has bad the free use of his tongue, and on being jeered about it, his laconic reply was,“l couldn’t bear, and where was the use of talk ing.”—Easton Cent inti.
