B. 8. ESQ. * . From the Georgia Conetitutionalitt. As.dhe late elections in several of the states indicate, in a awammr not t<» be mistaken, an unqualified approba* tiun of (lie policy pursued by lhe present admiiiistiation of the federal government, it will be the high duty of •every member of the democratic party in Georgia, to sustain by his vote, al the elections in October next, those general principles ti|mti which the policy in question is based; and certainly tlms general principle* cannot be sustained unless eveiy democratic vote be given to such candidates as are pledged to support measures so well cal culated n* a-lvance the prosperity of the country, by re stoiing confi'eme in all commercial and fiscal operations. If, therefore, every member es the democratic party in (■eorgia, is determined, hs he must be, if true to his prin ciples, to support the present federal administration and its policy, he will have te give his vote to those candidate* only who are pledged to lhe same cause. By voting for, tnd electing, such candidate*, we encourage the members ol the administration, as well a* the legislative branch of dre fi-deral -government, to keep the right path, and to be ' -mcmiipriiiiiising in (In- measure* well calculated to pro mu'e the Welfare of the country.. The election of Go vernor and members of the General Assembly have no direct agency with, the measure* of lhe federal govern -1 n»«nt; y.bvi<« of nw.u to fill such high «tat« offi- ’ 1 c . e *. influence over the-popuhrity of such meaxure*. If the eppiy* falls on men opposed tq the ttdministiatibh', tlip inevitable consequence follows, I that Hie measure* of that administration cannot possess * that populai ity so hectss'aiy to theii efficacy and geiierul' I resulis; while, if inefi suppotiing the administration be * a lerted,' the measures i‘n question cannot fail to be welcome, * by the people, and to produce, thp benefit anticipated hy - (heir ejiacrtneiii" aiitf opej-'atibn. For tia.se reasons, and -inany others which ’Wh could place before pur readers, we. would respectftrfiy’cafT'oti'all those citizens who ate sup portersol the the present federal admiuistra i (ion; to hilly - aYound (fie ‘candidate* of the democratic par- * ty in Georgia.- ■ :z ‘ I he tWo candidate* lot the office of Governor stand high in the estimation of the people of Georgia; but yet . onlyrihe of tlicm can tecrive the vole* of the democratic i party, because we know that he is pledged to. .support the I- im*ii*tire* of the presi-nt federal administration, and be cause wo know that he is pledged to use his influence to ■ ■ cohtiime in uflice the pCeseirt chief of that administration. Notwithstanding his liiglistaiidiiig in the state, his talents, i and his claims to the votes of-hi* own party, the opposing H candidate for lhe 'office of Govei nor, cannot pretend to a ■ single vole from the democratic party of Georgia. He is * opposed ’to the preieiu federal t'diniiißtratron; and of course to the meakure* ai)d the policy of.,that administra tion. • Hi) is ’k’noivn lbCn'tertain a favorable opinion of the . exjiedieiicy and necessity of a national bank, though he may not admit the'Constitutionality of such an institution. He is represented a*'fupportiug the claim* of Mr. Clay , to the presidency, in pteferenc*,- to-the pi esent, incumbent, though it 'is well known'that Mr. Clay is more obnoxious to the South than any 6tl(er candidate that could be start ed by the federal party. . All those objections must have | great Weight with the menibers of the democratic party, Jal the elections ’■ in "Ociober next. These objections to (he oppoiipip uf.tljeAteWftratic candidate, must unite the inember* of the d«mod(|*|c parly on their own candidate; , by uniting on him, he cannot flil to be elected; and by electing him, we shall hare accomplished tits great objects we all have in view: the maintenance of sound principles 1 in the administration of our political affairs, and theadop i lion of measures well calculated to promote the welfare of i bur common country. I i -. From lhe Huston Weekly Times. - . ’ • A MANUFACTURING POPULATION. We have to state a fe* more facts, and then shall con -1 elude bur icmaiks.upon this disagreeable subject, to the consideration of which we have been forced by a sense us duty as imperative .a* ever prompted the heart of ‘ map. . > • • We shall first state some facts which goto show that the amount of prostitution is greater among the girls, than is generally supposed ; and greater than is probably sup posed by the immediate agents a. d overseers of the mills. A medical practitioner, and by no means having lhe lar gest business in that way, once assured us, in replv to inquiries we made for iukiiniatiuu, that, within one week, ' uiure than seventy different person* applied to him for remedies against llie loathesome disease contracted iu the promiscuous intercourse of the sexes. The most ol them were females. The thought is dr-adfully revolting ; but it ■is true, and ought to be known. We could mention many, ’! very many, individual cajes of corruption, which would 1 tend to show a far greater amount of crime in this respect, ' rha'i any could have supposed, who only looked at the 'surface One instance will serve to indicate the class ’ ! which are within our knowledge. A dry-goods dealer 1 ; detected a.girl stealing stockings. He found them at her , ludgiug*, and threatened to prosecute, but compromised i lite feluiiy. on condition that she should submit to his will. Nh« avoided lhe jail, by consenting to pollution. The woist of all, however, is the fact, known t> few only, that when the wretched inmates of common brothels in New Yolk or Boston become so diseased that they can !no lougi-rpursue their degraded course of life, many of | liieiii ri-sort to factories, where, perhaps, they were "first | cvrrupteil, to obtain, by, the light labor of tending the ' machinery, a living, till tliev can become cured. Here is i llie great foundation of corruption toothers. Dreadful as ' it is to relate (and nur heai't swells as We write it) we must . persevere. -’Elie latc Jolm Kimball, deputy sheriff in Low ell, whose word would always be taken by those who knew him ; and who is now beyond the reach of any evil from this use id his name, told us, not long before his death, that it had buen ascertaiiied that prostitutes of the charac t* r we have- named were in the habit of coaxing young, innocent, ignorant g-rls to come to Boston on Saturday evening, for the purpose of selling themselves to the si-duci r. He said lie bad been employed foi the purpose, and had found three houses where they were in the habit of r*soriing; that he kiiewtliere were more, but hud not asci-rtaiiied their locality. The innocent and pure were brought to gratify the desires of degraded debauchees; and the bawd ol ilie house, the pimp of the factory, and the victim shared what plunder they could get, between thi-iu. \Ve cannot expatiate upon this. Our heart swells t« suffocation as we record it.' The fact is before the public, as we received if, and they must weigh its impor tance. We have held it back, till we have felt guilty ol suppressing truth, winch the world ought to know; and this unbeitliening is to us a matter of necessity. Nome people may be so weak and indiscreet as to sup pose that, because we have thus alleged much corruption in the female opeiatives, there are none pure. Wn wish i<> guard the mind* of our readers against any such infer ence. It woul*. be false for u* to say, or fi.r any one to think so. By far the larger portion of lhe girls are pure, high-minded, and virtuous. They will undoubtedly regret this exposure ; for, though they would not partake in lhe wrongs of others, its conceilmeiit i=, in some measure, necessary for their reputation*; lest a general stigma should fall upon llie occupation rather than upon the offending persons. But the virtuous are exposed to tiie malign in fluence of those with whom they mingle, and the weak will fall., it is this consideratmn that ha* induced us to speak, that all may be on their guard. It will also be said by tome that we are induced by ill-will, or some personal hostility, to make what will be called an attack on a the Corporation*. But the assertion, . if made, will be false. There is not that man living,, con necled with the factories al L.iwell, now, towards whom wp are conscious of eutertainiag a sentiment of unkind -ies*. We rejoice in their prosperity; and would aid them all in our power. If we have fold the truth, we are, in fact, aiding them now. We aie putting them on their guard against an evil which cau be checked by some means, but the progress of -which lead* to danger to the i community, and to them as a part of it. Il We are not ; wofully mistaken in facts and their natuial tendencies, we i have been doing a work as ever devolved upon a minister of the Gospel. * I We have endeavored to Establish the following points:— 1 Ist.

REGENERATED! & DISENTHRALL ED!! from the shackles* of Federalism! The VIC TORY is decisive an*l complete. The Federalists are routed horse, foot, and dragoons. We do not like (o tri umph over a fallen foe, but the means and tricks resorted to by (lie Whigs during the late canvass gives them no claim on our sympathy. They are defeated and they must burv their own dead and nurse their own wounded. The whole political history cannot exhibit * more bril liant triumph of principle over dtmagoguisnt than our late victory. We had every thing to contend against. There was a majority at the last election of nearly TWENTY THOUSAND for Cannon and every one know* how dis heartening it is to overcome so large a majority. The whole patronage of the State Government was brought to bear against Col. Polk and his principles. The presses <if th.: Slate were more than two to one opposed to os, and deluged every county with their misrepresentations. In East Tennessee, a grey headed old man, whose servi ces in former years had given hi n great influence, a* hi* friends supposed, was brought into the arena, and, to his everlasting shame be it spoken, rode through this end of the State, circulating the vilest charges against Col. Polk and the Administration. Nor was this lhe only case of DIC I'ATIO.N. People from other States, as though the W higs were not capable ot doing enough, were brought here to certify. Under all the circumstance, it seems al most miraculous that we have succeeded. Republicans of our sister States, give us a thousand cheers! Yom toast will be,“Trnnessbe GOD BLESS HER ?” And you may add. “Many daughters have done •cell, but thou excellest them all!" • From the Boston Weekly Times. mr. webster’si speech. The first triennial celebration of the National Agricul tural Society was held at Oxford, on the 18th of July. Earl Spencer president. At the dinner nearly 3000 per sons sat down to table, under an immense awning. Manv good toastsand speeches were elicited, from among which we select the remarks of Mr. Webster. The chairman, (Earl Spencer) in giving the next toast said they had already drunk the health of a foreign, mini*, ter who was present, but they had the honor and advantage ofhaving among them other foreigners not employed in any public capacity, who had come among them for the purpose of seeing a meeting of Enelish farmers, such as he believed had never been witnessed befoie, but which he hoped might often be seen again. Among these foreigners was one gentleman of a most distinguished character from the United States of America, [cheers] that great coun try whose people we were obliged legally to call foreigners, but who were still our brethern in blood. [Loud cheer*.] It was most gratifying to him that such a man had been present at that meeting, that he might know what, the far mers of England were and be able to report to his fellow ci»izen the manner in which they were united, from everv class, in promoting their peaceful and most important ob jects. He eave, “The heaith of Mi. Webster, and other distinguished strangers.” The toast was received with much applause. Mr. Webster said lhe notice which the noble earl at the head of the table bad been kind enough to take of hi.n, and the friendly sentiments which he had seen fi : to ex press towards lhe country to which he belonged, deman ded his most cordial acknowledgment*.—He should there fore begin by saying how gratified he had been in having it iu his power to pass one day '.inoug the proprietors, the cultivators, lhe farmers of Old England—[cheers] that England of which he had been reading and conversing ail liis lite, and now for once bad the pleasure of visiting. [Loud cheers.] He would say in the next place—if he c-mld say—how much lie had been pleased and gratified with the exhibition of one product, or branch of product, of that agriculture fur which England was so justly distinguished. When persons connected with some pursuits, of whatever descrip tion, assembled in such numbers, he could not but look on them with respect and regard, but lie confessed at once that he was more than ordinarily'moved on all such occa sions, when he saw before him a great assemblage of those whose interests, whose hopes, whose objects and pursuits were connected on either continent with the cul tivation of the soil. [Loud cheers.] Whatever else might tend to enrich and beautify socie ty, that which feeds and clothes comfortably the great mass of mankind should always, lie contended, beregaid ed as the great foundation of national interest. He need nol say that the agricul-ure of England was instructive to all the world ;as a science it wa* here understood; as an art it was here better practised ; as a great interest it was here as highly esteemed as in any other part of the globe. [Cheers. The importance of Agriculture to a nation was obvious to every man ; but it perhaps did not strike every.mind so suddenly, although certainly it was equally true, that lhe annual product of English agriculture was a great concern, to the whole civilized world. [Cheers.] The civilized and commercial state* were so connected, their interests were so blended, that it was a matter of notoriety, that the fear of the prospect of a short crop in England deranged ; and agitated lhe business transactions and commercial regulations and speculations of lhe whole world. ( It was natural that this should be the case in those na- 1 tions which looked to the occurrence of a short crop ini England, as an occasion which may enable them to dispose ! profitably of their own surplus produce ; but the fact went much farther, for when there was such an occurrence in the English capital, the centre of commercial speculations < ; for the whole world, where the price of commodities was settled, arranged, where the exchanges between pations were conducted and concluded, its consequences Were felt ' every where, as none knew belter than the noble Earl ’ who occupied the chair. | i Should there be a trust in England 15 days later than usual, should there be an unseasonable draught, or ten ■ I cold and wet days instead of ten warm and dry ones, when . ‘ the harve-.t should be reaped, every exchange in Europe j I and America felt the consequence of it. He would not i < pursue these remarks. [Loud cries of “Go on, go on!”] ’ Ho must, however, say that he entertained not the slight- j < est doubt of the great advantage to the interests of agricul- I tore which must result from the formation and operation 1 I of this society. I < Was it not obvious to the most common observer, that those who cultivated the soil bad not the same conven iences, opportunities, And facilities of daily intercourse t and comparison of opinions, as the commercial and man ufactirrmg interests ? [Cheers.] Those who are asso- 1 tinted>hi the pursuits of commerce and manufactures, na turally tongregated'together in cities; they had immediate * J mean* of frequent communication; -ITljefir sympathies, feelings and opinions, were instantaneously circulated, tike J electricity, through the whole body. But huw was it with the cultivators ofthe soil ? Sepa~- • ated, spread over a thousand fields, each attentive to his • ow n acres, they had only occasional opportunities of com- I munication with each other. If, amqng commercial men, t chambers of commerce and other institutions of that char - ' acter; if, among the trades, guilds were found expediont; I j how much mote necessary and advisable to have s*m» I : such institutions, which at least annually should bring to* ■ gejher the rept esentatives of thv great agricultural iuter r est ? [Cheers.] In many parts of the country to which; he belonged, < there were societies upon a similar principle, which had been found very advantageous. They had reward* for , specimens of fine animals; they had rewards-for iiupli* 'ments of husbandry, supposed to excel those which had I been known before. They turned their attentmn to ever i ry thing supposed to facilitate the operations Ut the far* mr-r, and improve his stock and interest in the- country. I Among other means of improving agriculture; they had imported largely from the best breed of animal* ktlowa n» England. [Cheers.] - He knew that a gentleman who had to-day deservedly • obtained many pi ize* for stock would not be displeased tw learn that he had sc'vn along the rich pasture* ofthe Okie and its tributary streams animals raised from those which had been furnished by his farms iir Yorkshire and North- . umberlai t d. (Cheers.) But, apart from this subject, ha , must be allowed to make a short response to the very kind . sentiments, which went near to hi* lieart, a* uttered by th* | noble earl at the head of the table. , Their noble chairman wa* pleased to speak of the , people of tire United State* as kindred in blood with th* • people of England. (Cheer*.) “I,” continued tire hou . orable gentleman, “am an American—(Cheers.) I wm , born on that great continent, and lam wedded to the for > tunes of my country for weal or for wo. (Loud There is no other region of the earth whicli 1 can call my . country. (Cheers.) But I know, and I am proud te t know, whit blood flows in these veins. (Cheer**) , lam happy to stand here to-day and to remember, al , though my ancestors for several generations, lie buried t beneath the soil of the Western contiment, yet there La* been a time when my ancestors and your ancestors toiled in the same cities and villages, ‘theers;] cultivated adjacent j fields, [cheers,] and worked together to build up'that greet structure of civil polity which has made England what ■ England is. (Cheers. When 1 was about to embark, some friends asked me what 1 was going to England for.—To be sure, genii*, men, I came for no object of business, public or pyivate; but I told them I was coming to see the elder branch rrf the family.

(Cheers.) Welive in an age when nation* as well as individuals arc subject to amoral responsibility, (f'heers.) -Neither government ncr people—thank God firr it-can now tfrifle with the general sense of the civilized world, (cheers,) and I am sure that the civilized world would hold your coun try and my country to a very strict account if, without very plain and apparent reason, deeply affecting the indepeir* dence and interests of the nation, any controversy between tliem should have other than an amicable issue;' (Cheers.’) I will venture to say that each country has mtelßgenc* enough to understand all that belongs to its just right*, and is not deficient in means to maintain them, (cheers) and if any controversy between England and America were, to be pushed to the extreme of force, neither party would or could have any signal advantage over the other, except whit it could find in the justness of it* cause and t lie ap probation of the world. (Loud cheers.) With respect to the occasion which has called us to eether, I beg to repeat the gratification which I have felt in passing a day among such a company, and conclude with the most fervent expression of my wishes for .th* prosperity and usefulness of the Agricultural Society of England. (Loud cheers.) From the Gazette de France. THE EGYPTIAN VICTORY. "• “The Turkish army occupied a strong position at Ni* Zeb, Ibrahim, who had received the Pacha’s permission to m»ke an attack, wished to assail his position in front, but Soliman Bey (Colonel Selves) succeeded in restrain ing his ardor, and it was agreed that the enemy should be drawn by manoeuvres from his entrenchment*. Th* Egyptians made a feigned retreat, and the Seraskier, Ha fiz Pacha, sent out a strong division of cavalry. Th* first corps it came up with, composed *f Bedouins, dis persed according to the order they had received, and the Seraskier, imagining that the Egyptian* might lie easily routed, advanced with the whole of his forces. Tims h* abandoned liis strong position, and two formidable redoubt* constructed by Prussian officers, from which great adfrari tage was anticipated. In order to draw the Turks-still further fiom their entrenchments, Ibrahim and Soliman continued to retire for two hours, hastening to gain a field of battle which the superior judgment of Selves had pre viously selected as one of the most favorable. Qn.rebell ing this ground the Egyptian army suddenly faced right about, .tnd, availing itself of the nature of lhe position, formed .into compact mas-es, the infantry in the Ceriti'*,' the cavalry and light artillery on each wing, and madb vigorous charges on the Turks, who were astounded by this sudden attack. The ranks of the latter were seen, thrown into disorder. The Seraskier, however, rode up, to the front, and, by his valor and the bravery of th* corp*, around him, remedied far a time his false step. His hea< vy artillery, unfortunately for him,%ould not come up* and the right gun* of the Egyptian, directed by Europe-. - • an officers, and seconded by well-timed charge's ofcatal*- ! ry, threw his ranks into disorder. His wing* wrr*'at thwt' > : same lime too extended, and troops, excited by the arddr ' v [of pursuit, had not preserved any regular order of battle;" ’ I they could make scarcely any resistance ; and at (hi* pe< riod some corp* of Arabs, which Ibrahim in hi* tetrcal left in ambush oh the right and left, fell upon the Turkish ,? rear, and thus completely put the Ottoman troop* to th* route. The disorder became so great that the Turkish.. , soldiers threw away their arm* and fled in the. utmost con tusion. Part of the troops endeavored to regain thee*- .'•• trenched camp, while others made for the most formida- ‘ ble points of the Euphrates.—lt appears that a large ' F lion of the fugitives succeeded in escaping, and that thn massacre was not so great as might have been expected.
