their ‘usual respective pioportinns in the general charge and expen
tlitiue:’ and the lands purchased of France in 1803, and of Spain
in 1819, were, of course, without the necessity of any stipula
tion, the common property t f the I nion, having been paid tor out
of its common tieasury.
Tin n, in what light can the public lands be viewed, but as a reser
ved land for the common use and benefit of the Union, for defraying i
the expenses of its government. In no other way can the trusts cre
ated by Y irgi tit, North Carolina, and Georgia, and arising from the
purchases from France and Spain be fulfilled according to their let
ter and spirit, but by so administering the public lands, as to apply
their proceeds to the purposes of revenue, in defraying the expen
sesof the common government of the Union. Yet, within these few
years past, ami now a scheme is proposed for diverting the revenue
arising from the sales ot the public lands from the purposes of the
trusts referred to, by a partial, and unequal, and unjust distribution
of the proceeds ot their sales among the several States.
1 his scheme ot distribution, which it will be remembered was
brought forward, a few years ago by Mr'. Clay of Kentucky, anil
foiled by President Jackson, has been renewed during the present i
sessi n of Congress by Mr. Clay, perhaps with some modifications.
The basis ot his present plan is, commencing on the Ist of July,
1840, to grant to the new States between two and three millions of
acres ot public lands, then to divide between them ten per cent of
the proceeds ot their sale, and then to distribute among all the States
old and new, the remaining proceeds according to the tatio of rep
resentation in the House, for the term of five years. Are von willing
, that such an unequal, and unjust distribution shall be made, apart
Irom considerations presently to be mentioned? I have neither the
right, nor the disposition, to enquire into the motives of Mr. Clay,
but I have the full and tair right to question his public course, ami
■shall exercise it. Mr. Clay is considered the great champion of the
protective taritl. The tarill is now in a course of reduction, and on
the 30th of June 1842, will he lower than it has been fora long series
of years. Ihe revenue with the aid of that arising from the stiles
of the public lands, will not meet the estimates of expenditure for
the present year, and the portion of it derived from customs will be
biennially going down until June 1842, when it will reach the mini
mum of twenty per cent ad valorem, except the duties on cotton
goods, w hich, on the coarser qualities, will even then amount to pro
hibition.
Are you willing, then, to distribute the proceeds of the sales of
the public lands among the Slates, no nfottef how fair the ratio, but
especially by the unequal and unjust one proposed by Mr. Clay, when
the unavoidable consequence will be, the increase of the taritl, or
the creation of a public debt, or both? Your own good sense will
respond in the negative. When Virginia ceded her north west
ern territory in 1784, the public revenue was derived alone from
requisitions upon the several States, and the terms of her cession
corresponded with that principle. Upon the adoption of the Feder
al constitution, the principle was changed, the General Government
being clothed by ii with the power to impose upon the people of the
I nited States “ duties, taxes and excises” coupled with which was
the provision, that direct taxes should be raised according to the ex
isting ratio of representation in the House of Representatives of
the United States. This change in the constitution produced a cor
responding change in the relation of the public lands. Under the
confederation, they related to the tax payers, the States as such, but
under the present constitution they relate to the people. of the several
■States, according to their representation in the popular branch of the
Congress of the United States. If then, a distribution of the pub
lic lands, or of the proceeds of the sales of the public lands of the
United Slates should be made, no other plan can conform so nearly
to the spirit of justice, and the Constitution, as a distribution of the
lands themselves among the citizens of the several States, according
to tlieir respective Representation in the House of Representatives
•of the Congress of the United States. But a full and perfect fulfil
ment ot the trust arising from the cessions and purchases referred
to, can alone be effected by a faithful application of the proceeds of
the sales of the public lands to the purposes of revenue, and this
is especially to be desired by the people of the Southern States, ami
the great consuming class every where, unless they are ready for an
other increase of the tariff, for that such increase would be the con
sequence, on resort to direct taxation, or a national debt in lime of
peace, no well informed and'unprejudiced man can doubt.
If then, taxation in some form would result from a distribution of
the public lands, or ot t'neir proceeds, what folly would it be to re
ceive money from the federal treasury with one hand, and return it
with the other, burdened with the expense of collection and distribu
tion ?
In connexion with the Independent Treasury plan, and the distri
bution of the proceeds ot the sales of the public lands, a general re
view of the revenue and expenditure of the government, for the last
ten or fifteen years, especially, would not be uninteresting, did I not
fear I should thereby trespass too much upon your time and atten
tion.
For the last five or six years, you have heard much about the ex
travagance of the Government, not so much it would seem, for cor
rection of the. evil, as for partizan use and effect. That the public
expenditures have been very much increased of late years is true,
and that in many particulars, they have been extravagant is equally
true. But, instead of inquiring into the most efficient of all the cau
ses which have cortiibyted to that result, the increased expenditure
has been used for the purpose of breaking down one administration
and building up another. You know that the Revolutionary War in
volved the country in a large amount of debt, which the Government
was not able to pay at its closes and that that debt was funded soon
after the adoption of the present constitution. That debt so funded,
had not been wholly discharged, before the late war made a large
addition to the pecuniary obligations of the Government. The rev
enue system adopted in 1789, not only had regard to the means of
meeting the ordinary expenses of the Government, but contempla
ted provision for paying the annually accruing interest, and eventu
ally, the principal of the public debt. Our revenue was derived
principally from duties on foreign imports, which ought always to
have been strictly confined to that object. But passing over that I
question, it is sufficient to say, tint the whole of the public debt ari
sing from the Revolution, and the late war with Great Britain, was I
not finally paid off and discharged until about the year 1834. In- |
stead then of reducing the revenue to the wants of an economical
administration of the Government, the revenue system was left un
changed, except as regards the very gradual reduction di ected by
the ‘compromise act 1 of 1833. The consequence was, that np to
the crisis of May 183/, not only did the revenue equal our most ex
travagant expenditure, but it was found necessary, in the month of
June preceding, to pass an act, by which near thirty millions of dol
lars were subsequently deposited with the States. ’The prime cause,
of the large expenditures in the latter years of President Jackson's
Administration, was a redundant revenue. Other causes co-opera
ted to the same result, in some of which, the extraordinary appropri
ations for harbors, rivers, &.c. the largely increased pension rolls, to
speak of no others, were quite as warmly advocated by the oppo
nents as they were by the friends of that administration. But the
largest items of extraordinary expenditure during the latter years
of President Jackson’s Administration, and so much of the present
as has passed, grew out of our Indian relations. Since the first of
January 1830, the Indian title has been extinguished to more than
one hundred millions of acres of land, valued at near one hundred
and forty millions of dollars, and within the last three or four
years, not less than twenty-five to thirty millions of dollars have been
expended in suppressing Indian hostilities, and in the removal of the
dierokew in compliance with the compact of 1802 with Georgia.
I have said the great cause of the increased expenditure of the
Government was its redundant revenue. And that the revenue was
not reduced to ll.e necessary expenditures of the Government
is not chargeable to the Republican party. One element of the redun
dancy of revenue, 1 have not yet mentioned. It was theextraordinarv
amount of forty millions and a half of dollars received in 1835, and
1836, from the sales of the public lands,arising from the deposite of
the public revenue in the banks, by the operation of which banks,
or many of them, what should have been money in them, subject at
any moment to the drafts of the Government, was converted into
debts due by them to the government, having loaned the public money
over and over again Io speculators in the public lands.
There is yet oneoark subject to which I desire to call your attention
before dosing this my last communication to my constituents; a subject
which involves our dearest and deepest interest, and not only ours,
but that of the whole Southern country. I allude to the attempts
which have been made at the north, especially within the last four
years, not to affect only, but totally to destroy our domestic institu
tions. Let me invite your attention for a moment to this absorbing
and exciting subject, while I state very briefly, lite relation which it
bears to the great opposing political parties of our country. During
ihc sessions of the 24th and 25th Congress, I have had ample oppor
tunity, to inform myself upon this subject; and I will say, as the
voles in both branches of Congress will prove, that the for mentors of
this mischief are to be found only in the whig or federal ranks. It
•s true, that upon lite various resolutions of the House having for
• their object the suppression of this incendiarism, by laying the me
morials on the table, with the distinct expression that they should not
be read, referred, printed or further acted on, a very few, perhaps
ten or twelve republicans from the non-slaveholding States have
voted tn the negative, and not a single whig from the same sections
of the Union has ever voted in the affirmative upon them. Not a
Single nori-slaveholding democrat lias been found engaged in exciting
and encouraging this crusade against us, while on every possible oc
casion, the whig, from the same quarter have u«ed every effort of
encouragement and excitement, by their denunciations of our viola
ton o the right of petition. I know that attempts have been made
o convince you that both political parties in the non-slaveholding
• ates are alike tainted on this subject. But I know it is not so.—

Washington City, February 20, 1839.
have read the speech of Mr. Clay on the abolition ques
tion. The influence of his name will be felt, and the position he has
assumed will have the salutary effect of neutralizing the efforts of the
most fanatical of the Abolitionists to disturb the harmony of the Union
and the peace of the country. With pleasure then we receive the
declarations of Mr. Clay upon that deleterious question.
We shall not question the sincerity of the declarations of Mr. Clay ;
but it must be permitted to us, to express our suprise at the lateness
those declarations are made. Can it be possible that it is only a few
weeks ago that Mr. Clay has formed an opinion upon that important
topic of the day? Why were not those declarations, & the expression
•f his opinion, made years ago? If he had taken two years ago that
position which he now has assumed, the influence of bis name would
have prevented the angry feelings which sprung up in the south
against a portion of our northern brethern, because many of those
northern whigs, friends of Air. Clay, would have paused and re
flected, before connecting themselves with the Abolitionists. Silence
on the part of that gentleman has no doubt increased the number of
those deluded citizens, especially when he was charged with an in
direct support of the scheme proclaimed for the abolition of slavery
it; the District of Columbia and in the south. This charge was never
publicly denied by Mr. Clay, until recently. Why then is the charge
now denied ? Is it to allay the excitement, which, by his silence, he
has contributed to create? Is it to verify the charge alleged against
him by one of the Georgia senators? If Mr. Clay believes that he
will reap, in the south, all the benefits which he on by L’j
recent declarations, he will find himself greatly mistaken. The
people of the south will not abandon mon who have stood with them
in defence of southern institutions and southern rights, when those in
stitutions and those rights were assailed, for a man who stood aloof
when the south wanted friends, and who, now that he finds it of ne
cessity to propitiate this section of the Union, comes at the eleventh
hour, and claims the same reward, for a labor which interest perhaps
has induced him to perform.
The speech of Mr. Clay will be hailed with raptures by the oppo
nents of the Administration in the south, while the speeches of Mr.
Moore, of New York, and other members of Congress, who have
been for years, and are still, the firm friends of the south, will hardly
be noticed. Mr. Clay enters the list against abolition at too late an
hour for such a step to be of service to him in the approaching pre
sidential contest. [Constitutionolist.
Qs*YV’e are snprised that such a'great noise is made about the re
election of Messrs. Tallmadge and Rives to the Senate of the Uni
ted States.—When the Conservatives in Congress took their position,
and were supported in that position by the Conservatives in the
States, we gave it as our honest opinion, that they had abandoned
the ranks of the republican party, and would join the federal-whigs.
And we recommended to our political friends to consider hereafter
as political opponents, Messrs. Tallmadge and Rives and their sup
porters. For this expression of our opinion at the time, we were
condemned and censured. What do we now behold ? In New York,
Mr. Tallmadge is the most violent opponent'of the administration,
without excepting the whigs. In Virginia no whig is cohsidered so
zealously bent in prostrating the administration as Mr. Rives. The
editor of the Richmond Enquirer, who, by his influence, has sustained
so far Mr. Rives with the republican party, has abandoned the cause
of that gentleman as hopeless.—Why noise about those two
senators? Does the existence or ascendency of the republican party
depend so much on keeping in its ranks those two men? Certainly
not. Such men can easily be spared ; they more properly belong
to the federal-whigs, than to the party which they have disgraced.
If at the time they became the leadersof the conservatives, they had
been discarded from the ranks of the republican party, all this excite
ment about their re-election to the senate, would not have happened, j
Both the gentlemen belong now to the whigs ; let the whigs re-elect I
them if they can ; but let the republican party have nothing more
to do with them. This is the best, the most proper, and the safest
policy.— lb.

BLOWING CAVES IN DECATUR COUNTY.—TRACES
OF VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS.
It is perhaps not generally known that Georgia has among her
natural curiosities, a blowing cave. As I have lately examined two
such caverns, I will give a description of them. They occur in a
volcanic district in the N. E. part of Decatur county, near the lim
its of Baker and Thomas.
The first is amidst the pine woods, in an extensive basin, and is
“but a lime sink.” The first is irregularly funnel formed at first,
for about ninety feet wide, by thirty deep. At the bottom of this firn- j
nel, is a small aperture about five feet wide, somewhat choked with a !
chimp of shrubbery, that has sunk downwards a short distance, dis- !
closing the dark, unfathomed cavern beneath. It is from this aperture
the wind tushes out, with a noise often loud enough to be heard one
hundred yards off. The force of the current of air, however, is not
always the same. Sometimes it is so great as to arrest the hunter’s
ear at a distance, and again, so gentle as to be heard only on de- I
scending the steep side of the funnel to the brink. When the wind j
issuing from this place is small, in observer is surprised at the dispro
portion between its zephyr breath and the rumbling noise, that
dwells in the throat of the cavern. Yet no one seems ever to have
suspected the presence of any other cause for this, than the mere
current of air. On stooping low, however, and applying my ear
quite into the mouth, it was easy to discern the splash and roar of
unseen waters, tumbling over a subterranean cataract, into their
dark and unknown reservoir. How far the stream, that forms this
cataract, steals its silent way beneath the surface—or what its volume
—or how deep its plunge, none can know. The distinctness of its
roar affords no criterion by which to estimate its depth; for the sound,
having no outlet but the tubelike mouth, is, of course, deceptive. It
may be but a few hundred feet, or it may be a mile below the surface.
The vertical position of this cave beneath the beholder’s feel, will
forever forbid its exploration. It is not probable that any adven
tuter will ever be found sohardy as to descend by rbpe and windlass,
through an entrance so narrow, into a gulf so deep, so dark, and so
watery. Indeed, while standing on the brink, one is conscious enough
of danger, as he sees in the walls around, evidence of the recent
formation of the cave, and as he observs that the very foothold be
tween him and the abyss below, is hut a thin bed of crumbling sand.
The second cave is about one mile west of the first, and seems to
be the crater of an extinct volcano. It has no resemblance to the
first, except that both descend perpendicularly. The first occurs in
a basin, composed of sand underlying a thin bed of clay, without
rocks, the second drops in from the top of a hill composed of
unctuous,,tenacious, red clay, amidst large masses of tough rock, but
little broken, or worn perforated as by an auger, and having no
visible organic remains, and which I suppose to be cellular lava.
crater, measuring from point to point of the rim, is about two hun
dred yards wide, encircled, or rather formed by a mound of earth,
that seems to have been deposited in its place by eruption, and
which, though much abraded by waters, especially on the inner face,
yet preserves a distinct outline. It is probable, tho volcano, which
formed this crater, like all those whose traces are yet found in the
south of Georgia and Florida, existed but a short time. Indeed,
if the fact bo not misapprehended, the large masses of lava, that now
choke the crater, at the bottom of tho inverted cone, and which
seem to have tumbled back to their present place, shew that there
never was but one explosion, and that the eruptive power expired
before the crater was wholly chared of the molten material.
When first discovered, and for many years since, the wind from
this cave issued from several small, horizontal holes in the side of the
funnel, or “lime sink” as it too was called, among rocks and rubbish,
that wholly obstructed the view. Suspecting the true direction how
ever, my companion and myself tore away the rich earth deposited
under our feet by currents of water, from all sides of the cave, and
soon discovered that the cave was immediately beneath our feet, de
scr tiding perpendicularly among large blocks of lava, that now fill up
the neck of the crater. Our excavation was very imperfect, but still
sufficient to show the direction, and something of the nature ot the
cave, which can now b*» seen descending deeply and darkly towards
the centre of the earth: going down far enough, at least, to form
an outlet for the subterranean fires that once raged beneath that
portion of the earth, and to which we ate, doubtless, indebted lor the J
elavation of Florida, and that part of Georgia from beneath the wa
ters of the Atlantic. Our labors, as we toiled with our heads down
wards, were somewhat obstructed by the dust and trash that were
blown into our faces, by the steady current of wind, and which
forced us to work with our eyes shut.
It is said, and believed, among the inhabitants of the neighborhood,
that the wind blows out of this cave twelve hours, and into it twelve
hours. Many assert, that they have witnessed the fact; and in con
sequence, suppose that the current ot air is connected with the tides.
The cave evidently descends far below the level of tide-water in the
gulf of Mexico. But my own observations, (made at all hours of the
day,) lead me to suppose the report is erroneous; and that the winds
always blows outwards. It is probable, the opinion originated in the
fact, that the wind very naturally varies in force at different times:
so as to be scarcely perceptible at some seasons of the year. This
is caused, perhaps, by the increase or decrease of water in some
subterranean stream which falls into the cave. When the watetsare
full, the current of air is strong; when they tire low, it is weak.
This cave is evidently of immeasurable depth ; for, thong’: the
current of air must be produced by some cataract, or cascade, under
the earth, yet the ear listens in vain fcr the faintest sound of water
—nothing can be heard but the low murmur of the ceaseless wind.
Ilundteds of petrifactions, both vegetable and animal, are found
in the red-clay outside of the ring of earth.
Though the darkness and depth of this cavern are associated with
ideas of terror, and excite thoughts of earthquake and volcano, yet
the place is not devoid of meterial for fancy. On the large rocks,
that fill up the opening of th.: chasm which once shot forth fire ami
lava, a fertile mould has been deposited ; from which, besides more
useful trees, several young magnolias are now lifting their evergreen
heads, and expanding their matchless blossoms over the very mouth
of that descent to Avermts ; not to bide it as a snare, but to catch
the eye upwards, where bloom and foliage, and blue sky and light
shall impart peace and par ty to the mind.
The Indian trail, too threading its lonely way among the pine
forests, shows that the Tallahassees and Cheehaws, in their inter
course, were used to go far out of their way, in order to visit this
mysterious place. It was, perhaps,the abode of some Seminole
deity; perhaps, the oracle where their prophets held pretended con
verse with the spirit-land. But what was its precise place, or use
in their mythology, the politician and the soldier have put forever
beyond our knowledge, by driving them to the fat west.

a third of iron. With the body were interred all the spoils of the
enemy, harnesses embroidered with gold and studded with jewels;
rich silks, and whatever they ha I taken most precious in the palaces
of the kings they had pillaged; and that the place of his interment
might forever remain concealed, the Huns deprived of life all who
assisted at his burial !

having formed a grave in the midst ot its bed where its course was
most rapid, they interred this king with prodigious accumulation of
riches. After having caused the river to resume its usual course,
they murdered without exception, all those who bad been concerned
in digging this singular grave.

as I could around his neck, and then stopped his nose with mv

FWXHIS renowned and ever memorable Horse will
Ky y " cc,l l’y his old stand at the Ilatqpton Cmuse, in
’l’ o v ‘einity of Augusta, under my direction. Colonel
•Kgm&fAiWL Crowell, his owner, after returu ! ng from his tour
tli.o.;gh tho north, east and west, has come to the conclusion to allow
him to remain with me another season: Applications were made in
various sections of our country: unlimited business was guarantied;
large sums offered by various gentlemen for the service of the horse;
but Col. Crowell threw aside all minor considerations, all pecuniary
motives, when on his return ho found so many solicitations, from vari
ous quarters of the South, to allow the horse to remain with me, that ho
at length yielded and gratified their wishes. In fact, Bascombe has so
many warm admirers, that they nearly view him as their common prop
erty. Bascombe has attained Ills end in one point, he has put to rest
all those little, petty slanders, relative to ii:ipotency, as he has proven
himself ns sure a foal-getter ns any horse that stands on four feet. His
first get was dropped this season : each and every person’s colt, in dif
feient parts of the South, is the crack and brag colt; in fact, for game
like appearance, quickness of action, sprigbtliness and playfulness un
surpasseil.
He will commence his season on the 15th of February next—to tei'-
minateon the 15th of July.
'1 ERMS—SIOO the season, and $1 to the groom. Good lots, fine
stables, pastures, and provender, will be provided for the mares; no li
ability for escapes ot accidents Persons sending marcs, are particulate
ly requested to send tlieir pedigree, also, notes made payable to, Joint
Crowell or bearer; tile expenses of the mares to be paid before taking;
them away. Mares remaining w ith the horse, will be well taken cave qC
at 50 cents per day—servants with them, fed gratis.
Itis useless to mention pedigree and performnwes; Bascombe’s
speak for themselves; the world know them ; bis name will be handed
dow n from I urfite to 1 urfite; and when no more, the hosom&of future
sportsmen will swell with emotion and delight, when they hear leentiou
ed the name of Bascombe.
A uy person or persons wishing to make np a class of marcs, to bo
stinted to bascoinbe, can be accommodated by sending five, which Cftn
slitutca clrss. Il is or their notes, are to be made payable to John Crow
