From the Augusta .Sentinel. Mr. Pinckney. In the last number of this paper we endeavored to show that Mr. Pinckney’s resolution was ill timed, hostile to the interests of the South, and favorable to the abolitionists in Congress, and that the reasons which he assigned for his con duct were delusive, if nut dangerous. We were next to enquire whether the consequences which he promises the country, are likely to How it.— Some of the consequences we have already wit nessed, and he must have been strangely blind ed, if he could not foresee them. In the first place, his movement has completely disconcert ed his allies of the South, and exposed some of them of both parties, to the most unjust charges and suspicions, and at the same time, robbed them of a fair opportunity of repelling these charges, and removing those suspicions. Take for example the posture in which it placed Gen. Glascock —we select him, because no one will suspect us of being influenced to what we say by our predilections for the man. This gentleman believed that the abolition petitions should In rejected tn limine. That Congress should hold no deliberations upon them. In support of these views, he quotes the authority of Jefferson, and the vote of our own Baldwin and Jackson, and he is certainly sustained by them. Up to the time when Mr. Pinckney’s resolution was intro duced, no one, friend or foe, had charged General Glascock with supporting the views of the abo litionists, or pursuing a course prejudicial to the South. Upon the introduction of that resolu tion, what was Glascock’s position? He was now constrained to vote nga/nsf a resolution, the sentiments of which, eo far as they went, he cor dially approved, or for a resolution, the policy of which he cordially despised. Mr. Glascock be lieved as firmly as did Mr. Pinckney, that <'ongresshad “ no constitutional power” to abol ish slavery in the States, and that it would be •“ unwise,” Ac. to abolish it in the District of Columbia; but he believed a little more, lie believed that these matters should not go before a committee. He believed that the petitioners were not entitled to this courtesy. He believed that the first clause of the resolution was a gra tuitous intermeddling by Congress, with a sub ject which was not before them in any form or shape. Now what was to do? To vote for the resolution, was tacitly to give up what he had been contending for, during the whole session : to vote against it, was, in appearance, at least, to oppose its sentiments, and to put himself under the censure of every numscull who had not sense enough to discover its true attitude, or eve ry rogue cf an editor, who had not candor enough to acknowledge it. This was reaby a beautiful position for one Southern man to be involved in by another! Glascock took the proper course ; he maintained his consistency and voted against the resolution; meaning no more thereby, than that it was ill-timed, impolitic, and uncalled for. YYhat was the consequence? By one of (hose legislative shuffles. so common, and so disgrace ful to the age, he was deprived of an opportunity of explaining his vote, lie was then forced to go heme, and in the form of a protest, draw out his reasons, and al another time, lay them be fore the House. But his vote gets a day the start of the protest—some who saw the vote never saw the protest—some who published the first, would not publish the last, and consequently we have had it from all quarters, that “ Glascock voted against a resolution declaring, that Congress could not constitutionally abolish slavery in the States. Glascock voted against a resolution declaring that it would be unwise, Ac. &c. to abolish it in the District of Columbia. He there fore goes for unlimited power in Congress ever the slave population,” Ac. Ac. This is rank injus tice, and he is indebted to Pinckney for it. Our po/icy would be to let him die under those perse cutions. _ He is decidedly the most puissant cp penev.t of our party in the State, and almost om nipotent in our country. We would gain much ntore, therefore, by joining in the hue and cry against hint, or by keeping silent, than by vindi cating him; but such conduct would be base and ignoble, and we cannot pursue it. W hat Gias cock b.as suffered fr<~m Pinckney’s resolution, many others have suffered. These were its first fruits; and they were ripe and falling round Mr. Pinckney. before the resolution fairly took root. But we no where find Mr. Pinckney offering a word cf condolence to his injured friends. We do not find bom from this time forward, speaking or acting like the associate of Southern mem bers; but we do hear Lis intentions to move such a resolution, announced in a Northern paper, several days before it is introduced in Congress. No sootier is this resolution offered, than the Van Burenites, and the abolitionists of the North, form on it with marvelous unanimity.— No wonder the discussion is now to be with drawn from before the world, to the committee room. A Van Buren man is in the Speaker's chair, and he is to pack a committee who will put forth a report just to suit the aims of the lit tle Magician. The report is to be introduced at the heel of the session, when it will bo too late to discuss it, (for Mr. Pinckney tells us, the committee are to take into consideration all the petitions now before the House, and to conic be f/rc it, they must therefore, wait to a late hour to see, whether all the petitions are in) or the re port is to be soon introduced, and discussion no un it cut short, by the previous question, or some other legislative trick. No wonder the aboli tionists and \ an Buren men support the resolu tion. Nothing could have been better planned to suit their views ; and if Mr. Pinckney did not foresee all this, he ought to resign his seat in Congress, on the ground of incompetency. The gathering of the vultures shows where the car cass lies. “But Southern men, and State Rights men voted for~ the resolution, as well as .Mr. Pinck ney.'’ \ ery true ; but this does not prove that they deem it a judicious movement. Many of these voted upon lite .»en/Z?ne;i/s of the resolution, supposing perhaps, that a vote against it would bo interpreted as it has been interpreted to Glas cock’s prejudice. But, whatever be their apolo gy, and be they who they may, they acted most unwisely. Taken as they were, by surprise, we do not wonder at their vote; but whatever may be their opinion upon it, ours remains precisely .the same. We do not judgo of rights and wrongs by the persons who espouse them. It is an excellent rule for determining what inter ests are affected by a measure, and proves most inconfestibly that Pinckney’s measure is a grand Van Buren measure, for his presses support it to a type. Mr. Pinckney tells us a calm and temperate report from a committee, will silence the aboli tionists, restore peace and harmony, and do won ders. And this, he says, holding up a resolution of the like kind, which he found buried a fathom deep under such petitions. Does Mr. Pinckney really believe that a report which admits the right of Congress to abolish slavery jn the Dis trict of Columbia, is likely to prevent the fanat ics from begging for an exercise of that right 1— We hardly know how to credit him when he tells us so. I'o give him credit for candor here,would seem like a direct impeachment of his under standing. Have not inducements as strong as can be urged, been already held out to our mis guided brethren of the North, to let the delicate subject alone ? If respect for the union, for the Constitution, for our common interests, our an cestors, the lives of our brethren, the safety of our families, have not arrested them in their mad career; does Mr. Pinckney believe that a report from himself, Harnor, Pearce, Hareen, Jarvis, Owens, Mtihlenburgh, Drotngoole, and Turrel, can have that effect? Preposterous ! But we ask, is this a matter in which it be comes the South to be offering terms of capitula tion! Are we the offenders? Doesit comport with the spirit which we imbibed from our fa thers, tor us to be devising moral means, to ap pease the self-engendered wrath of our relentless persecutors ? Is there nothing that we must not sacrifice, to keep peace with our Northern Brcth- l>ut discussion was useless, and we gained nothing. It it gained nothing, it lost nothing ; and if it. be not the aim of Mr. Pinckney, to bring the subject before the House, in away that, wifi allow him and his new colleagues to control dis cussion by rules and orders, he has not only sur rendered a strong ground for the South, but has " idened the hold of debate—nav, he has enkind led feelings which will make the discussion a thousand limes more bitter than it. has ever been. It it be his design first to surrender the right of Congress to abolish slaver}’ in the District, and then to silence dispute upon this subject by legis lative matieeuvre, he deserves the execrations of every honest man south of the Potomac. “We gained nothing!” What were we trying to gain? We were resisting— resisting at the portals of the Capitol a wanton invasion of our rights, and Mr. Pinckney lias driven us from this post, and carri ed the war into the committee-room, where none can battle but the speaker’s recruits. Unsays lie is responsible to none but bis constituents of Charleston. If he mean that he is in the power of no one else, he is right; but if he mean that no one else has a right to censure his conduct or complain of it, he is mistaken. All who are in jured by it havea right to call him toaccount for it. Vote on Mr. Finrkucy's Kcsolntioii. The following statement appeared originally in the National Intelligencer, and is un doubtedly correct : On motion of Mr. Vinton, and other gentle men, the resolution was divided intoySeejseperate propositions, the vote upon each, being taken by yeas and nays. The first proposition was, that all the memorials which have been, or may be presented, praying the abolition of slavery in the District, and also the Resolution offered by an Hon. member from Maine, (Mr. Jarvis,) with the amendment thereto proposed by the Hon. member from Virginia, (Mr. Wise,) together with every other paper or proposition, that may be offered in relation to that subject, be referred to a select committee. Upon this proposition, the votes of the slave holding States were as follows: Maryland, ayes 6, nays 2. Virginia, ayes 7, nays 12; (2 not voting.) North Carolina, ayes S, nays 4; (2 not voting.) South Carolina, ayes 3, nays 6. Georgia, ayes 6, nays 3, Kentucky, ayes 7, nays 5 ; (one not voting.) Tennessee, ayes 3, nays 8; (2 not voting.) Louisiana, ayes 1, nays 2. Mississippi, ayes 1, nays 1. Ala bama, ayes none, nays 4; (t absent.) Missouri, ayes 2, nays none. Upon the above proposition, the Southern or Slave-holding vote was: ayes 45—nays 17,(seven not voting.) The vole of the whole House was, ayes 171, nays 48. Upon the second proposition, which was in these words: “ I’hat the Committee he instruc ted to report that Congress possesses no consti tutional authority, to interfere in any way with (he institution of slavery, in anj’ of the States, in this confederacy ; the slave-holding Stales voted as follows ; .Maryland, ayes 7, nays none; (one not vo ting.) Virginia, ayes IG, nays 1 ; (four not vo ting.) North Carolina, ayes 1.2, nays 1 ; (one not voting.) S.Carolina, ayes 3, nays 1; ( others not voting.) Georgia, ayes 8, nays 1, (Mr. Glas cock.) Kentucky, ayes 11 ,nays none ; (two not voting.) Tennessee, ayes 11, nays none ; (two not voting.) Louisiana, ayes 2, nays 1. Mis sissippi, ayes 2, nays none. Alabama, ayes 4, nays none; (one absent.) Missouri, ayes 2, nays none. Upon (he above proposition, (be slave-holding vote was,ayes 78 —nays 3 ; (16 not voting.) The vote of (he whole House was, ayes 201, nays 3. The third proposition was : “ That the com mittee be instructed to report, that Congress ought not to interfere in any way with slavery in the District of Columbia.” Upon this proposition, all the slave-holding States voted in the affirmative; the whole vote was 82, 15 not voting. The vote of the w hole House was, ayes 133, nays 17. 'Die fourth proposition (assigning the reason for the preceding) was in these words : “ Be cause it would be a violation of the public faith, unwise, impolitic and dangerous to the Union.” Upon this branch of the Instructions, the votes for the slave-holding states were as follows : Maryland, ayes 5, nays none ; (three not vo ting.) Virginia,ayes 17, nays none; (four not vo ting.) North Carolina, ayes 11, nays none ; (two not voting.) South Carolina, ayes 5, nays none; (four not voting.) Georgia, ayes 8, nays none; (one not voting.) Kentucky, ayes 9, nays 3. Tennessee, ayes 12. Louisana, in the affirma tive. Mississippi, ayes 1 ; (one not voting.) Alabama, in the affirmative. Missouri, in the affirmative. Total, ayes 77 —nays 3. 'Die vote of the whole House was: ayes 129, nays 71. The fifth and last division of the Resolution went to instruct the Committee, to draft such a Report as in their judgment would be best calcu lated to sustain the just right of the slave-holding States, and of the people of the District of Colum bia, and to allay excitement, repress agitation &c. Upon this, every slave-bolding Delegate (whose note is recorded.) voted in the affirmative ; mak ing between eighty and ninety. The vote of the whole was : ayes 19G, nays 6. False Packing of Cotton—A source of great complaint at the present time in com mercial and manufacture circles in this vicinity is the false package of cotton. To a cer tain small extent this evil has always been expe rienced, but within the last three or four years it has greatly increased; and during the present year has attained a magnitude which imperative ly demands the adoption of the most energetic measures for its prevention. Formerly the ground of complaint was usually confined to the occasional discovery of a parcel of seeds, or a stone, in the interior of a single bag or two of a considerable lot. But now the fraud has assum ed an infinitely more prominent shape. It is es pecially found to prevail in cottons exported from the Gulf of .Mexico, though it has also become very frequent in Brazil Cottons. To such an extent has the practice gone as regards the for mer, that the last week, we understand, the whole of two lots of cotton, one of 200, and the other of 120 bags, were returned to the seller on account of it. The instances of dissatisfaction, trouble and dispute to which the fraud gives rise, are almost innumerable —they aro, we ate assured, so frequent as to justify the charge of a wholesale and systematic plan of deception and plunder.— [English paper. Anecdote of Richard Ilf.—ln the town of Leicester, Ehgland, the house ia still shown where Richard HL passed the night before the battle of Bosworth ; and there is a story of him, still preserved in the corporation records, which illustrates the caution and darkness of that prince’s character. It was his custom to carry, among the baggage of his camp, a cumbersome wooden bed, which he pretended was the only bed he could sleep in. Here he contrived a se cret receptacle for his treasure, which lay con cealed under a weight of timber. After the fa tal day on which Richard fell, the earl of Rich mond entered Leicester with hist victorious troops; the friends of Richard were pillaged, but the bed was neglected by every plunderer as useless lumber. The owner of the house after wards discovering the hoard, became suddenly rich, without any visible cause, lie bought, lands, and at length arrived at the dignity of be ing mayor of Leicester. Many years afterwards, bis widow, who had been left in great affluence was murdered for her wealth by her servant maid, who had been privy to the affair; ami at the tri al of this woman and her accomplices, the whole transaction carne to light. The floor of the Methodist Chapel in Man chester, (Eng.) gave way on the2llh of January, during service, by which accident, nearly two hundred persons were precipitated into the cel lar, and only two killed.

Banks.—The Legislature of Louisiana b; d passed a bill pledging the credit of the State for a loan of $12,000,000, for the Citizen’s Bank of Louisiania. In Boston, an application has been made to the Legislature, now in session, for a Bank of ten millions, 'Die legislature of New York, has determined to augment the Bank Capital in the city, by more than 4 millions. Itissaid that Virginia will also increase her banking capital, 6 millions. At this rate will not paper money become so plentiful as to be of no value ?

Letter written by Napoleon Bonaparte.— The following is an extract of a letter, which was written by him, in 1797, when about to de part for Egypt, to a young American, with whom he had previously formed an acquaintance, and who was soon to leave France for the Uni ted States. The letter, which was published as authentic in the newspapers of that period, is cu rious, as exhibiting his ideas of that period, is curious, as exhibiting his ideas of the United States at that time : “ You soon depart for tLe Western, and I for the Eastern Hemisphere. A new career of ac tion is now opened before me, and I hope to unite my name with new and great events ; and with the unrivalled greatness of the republic; you go to unite yourself once more with a peo ple among whom [ behold at once the simple manners of the first ages of Rome, and the luxu ry ot her decline; where 1 see the taste,the sen sibility of Athens, with her factions, and the val or of Sparta without her discipline. “ As a citizen of the world, I would address your country in the following language. Every man and every nation is ambitious, and ambition grows with the power, as the blaze of a vertical sun is the most fierce. Cherish therefore, a na tional strength—strengthen your political institu tions—remember that armies and navies are of the same use in the world as the Police in Lon don or Paris, and soldiers are not made like pot ter s vessels, in a minute—-cultivate union, or your empire will be like a colossus of gold fall en on the earth, broken in pieces, and the prey of foreign or domestic Saracens. If you are wise, your republic will be permanent—and perhaps Washington will be hailed as the founder of a glorious and happy empire, when the name of Bonaparte shall be obscured by sueceedino-revo lutions.” ° y, - Ihe Present.—ln order to enjoy the present, it is necessary to be intent on the present. To be doing one thing, and thinking of another, is a very unsatisfactory mode of spending life. Some people are always wishing themselves some where but where they aie, or thinking of some thing else than what they are speaking. This is the way to enjoy nothing : to do nothmo- well, and to please nobody. It is better to be interest ed with inferior persons, ami inferior Ihiims, than to be indifferent with the best. A principal cause of this indifference is the adoption of oth er people’s tastes instead of the cultivation of our own ; the pursuit after that for which we are not fitted, and to which, consequently, we are not in reality inclined. This folly pervades, more or less, all classes, and arises from the error of building our enjoyment on the false foundation of the world’s opinion, instead of be ing, with due regard to others, each our own world.

A conviction that the means of information arc not com mensurate with the wants and wishes of the people, con nected with the growing importance of our town, has ori ginated with us the idea of establishing in Coliinibns., n new weekly paper, to be entitled The Rei’UßUcan Herald—to be devoted Io Politics, Literature, and General Intelligence. We will endeavor to make the Herald profitable and interestii g, by keeping its render-" informed ot all im portant political movements, both foreign and domestic. Devoted to the union of the Stales, we shall advocate w’ith becoming zeal mid firmness those great mid glo rious principles by which wo believe it is to be perpet uated. We look upon tho Government that was es tablished by the toil, and sacrifice, and blood, of our fathers, as upon the mother who gave us birth—with teverence and love. It is a holy thing; anil we will love and support it as long ns we continue to love anil respect ourselves. In yielding our support to the Union party of Geor gia, however, wc slinll not, under any circumstances suf fer ourselves to be swayed by selfish or interested mo tives—we shall adiiere to and support our principles, even nt the sac.riiice of personal friendships mid predi lections. We shall conscientiously mid strenuously oppose every measure, which wc may deem calculated to sub vert the liberties of the people or destroy tho union of the States. That the people arc capable of self-government, hns been demonstrated, mid no longer admits of a doubt— that cabalistic nids nrc unnecessary, follows as n co rollary. While, therefore, wc sustain the fundamental principles of the Union Party, we shall feel it our du ty on all occasions to oppose the supreme dictation of tho few to the many. Our columns shall be open to the free anil temper ate discussion of all such subjects us are calculated to interest mi intelligent community—whether they be of a political, literary, religious or commercial character. As caterers for the public taste, wc shall introduce into the columns of the Herald, as great mi amount of miscellaneous and general reading as mny bo con sistent with its political and commercial character— not forgetting to invoke the muses in support of ’The Poets’ Corner.’ The Herald will also sustain the Agricultural mid Commercial interests of the country, and will publish a regular mid correct Price Current of till leading ar ticles of produce and consumption.
