II? 3 ’Me copy from the National 1 itelligencer the
report of the debate between Messrs. Clay ami Cal
houn, which grew out of tlie r« ference of the public
land bill to the committee on p-blic lands. Sharp
fiho’.s were exchanged.
legislative of South Carolina, at its re
cent session, passed a law, dtclaring that when a per
son, indented by bond, note, or otherwise, is about to
remove from the state, and the said debt is not due,
but payable at some future day, it may be lawful for
the payee to commence an action, by issuing a writ
or process, returnable to the court next after the day
■of payment fixed in such demand, and shall-have pow
•er to hold to bail in the same manner as is now pro
vided in cases of debt actually due.
Mortality among Newspapers.— The National In
telligencer meiijt*.*?* the discontinuance of four Daily-
Newspapers within a short period, viz: Poulson's
American Daily Advertiser, Philadelphia; Baltimore
(C/zrowDYe, and the Whig and Finning Post, Cincin
nati. The Baltimore Chr miclehao been disposed of
to the proprietors of the American.
A B II has unanimously passed the Senat’ of Tt-x
--as, and it is said will undoubtedly pass the House of
Representatives, imposing a tax of one thousand (»<’■-
lars upon every person engaged in selling ardent spi
rits in less quantities than one quart.
It is feared that the brig Virginia, which left Ports
mouth, N. IL, on the 11th for New-York, with a
company of United States Artillery on board, is lost.
She had as passengers Lieuts. Fowler and Grafton,
and about 40 recruits of Company I), of Ist regiment
of United States Artillery, Sixty persons in all were
on board.
The Georgetown Advocate contradicts the report
of the death of Mrs. Decatur. She had been very ill,
but is now convalescent.
Flour.— 'Die exports of flour last w-ek from New-
York amounted to over 10,000 barrels—making
166,549 barrels this year.
THE ISSUE MADE UP.
Thi iiomimitioii of General II irrison Lx the Whigs,
settles this question, that either Mr. Van Buren or
It m, Will be the next President, unless d> *(h sliou <1
rein >ve cither or both, from the stage of human a<-
lion, bet’ re ihet leciiou occurs.
Under this view <>fthe subject, a very important en
quiry pr-s< tits its-lf’to the American people in gene
ral, ami to the Southern people in pn-tienl ir, and
will) very pecnli • r force io that portion of them, who
call them elves the State Rights purtv.
Il has been die boast of the South, to interpret the
; Constitution strictly, and to contend for a rigid ad
hen nee to her coiislructii n of that insiritmeiii ; while,
on the other hand, General H><rrison and the F< deral
i party, of which lie is an old and uniform member,
nave been for forty years or more, striigjling to
strengthen and enlarge the powers of the Federal Go
verume -t, by cl.liming f>r her, ihe exercise of powers
not delegated by the State;; nor hrs there been a
time since the organization of our republican institu
tions, when that party were making greater efforts to
carry out their doctrines.
The Feder.d leaders now in Congress, Clav, Web
ster, Adams, and a host of others, are more ultra in
their principles, than were old J„lm Adams, Timothy
Pickering, or Governeur Morris, -ami are ready, i
they possessed the power, to make longer and more
rapid strides towards a consolidated government than
those distinguished leaders of former times.
And further, the abolitionists are almost, en masse,
united with the same parly, and are not only prepar
ed to aid them in curtailing the constitutional power*
ol the slates, but to scatter (ire brands and death
amongst us. Phis is no fancy picture, but sober re
ality. ami the whole country knows it.
Can southern men act will a party composed of
such materials ? Will they countenance their efforts
to elect a Presiden holding the principles of General
Harrison ? A man, who upon one occasion, at least,
expressed the hope that the surplus revenue of the
country w ould be appropriated to the purpose of pur
chasing and thereby liberating the slaves of the south.
A man, who. as a member ol a legislative body, was
iu favor of selling tree while citizens into slavery, who
"•re so unfortunate as not to be able to pay their
debts. It is a source of h'gh gratification, that w hat
ever cour-e <ur public men may pursue, the people
hive int-liiueii e and independent-., ami will look to
their own interest nil safety, .n I if our-meats do not
sepaiate th* ms**i\es from such a crew, the democracy
will separate from them.
It dues seem to us, that members from the south,
must feel diems Ives ve y awkwardly situated, when
they reflect upon lie position to which they are driven,
by their hatred to Mr. Van Buren. How can a true
south, in recon, ile it to himself to be identified w ith a
party farmed of such heterogeneous materials, w hen
upon almost every important vote they find their
names recorded with men who would he s< ormd. if
th-y should show their faces in the South ? Let them
answer to their constituents.
With what reason their hostility to Mr. Van Buren
is still cherished, is only to be found in that perverse
principle of human nature, which too often prefers a
reckless pi rseverence in error, to an op. n and candid
recantation; but let them go on : they wiil find it to
be labor 10-t in the end. The decided republican
course of Mr. Van Buren’s administration, and tlte
firmness and distinguished ability with which it has
been condmed, have placed him far beyond the
reach of the missiles of his enemies, ami secured t > him
the 'onfidf m e ami aflecti in of a decided majoritv of
his fellow' citizens.
HL adlii retice to the i- : ght« of the States- his op
posi'ion to federalism and abolitionism, have placed
him on pre-eminent ground, and dimmed his oppo
nents of all reasonable ground of complaint.
Well may the Democratic party be proud of such a
head ; and teari'dly will the Harrison party tremble in
the day that tries their strength before the people.
The latest news we have from Wa-hineton is
to be found i:i the following le ter from the correspon
dent of the Consiiiutiotialisi :
Washington, Jan. 4, iB4o.
Li the House, we had quite a delectable -< ene be
tween little Stmley of North Carolina, and Col. By
num, oi the same State, in w hi. h the words -- puppy
—P'M’Py —l lll |*| , v” formed the principal source of ar
gument The subject was first introduced by Mr.
Jenifer, oi Maryland, a violent Whig politician, who
spares neither man, woman or child in'his aimer, and
is apt on all occasions when discus-ing a subject of
any character to apply the most abu-ive epithets to
every oik* attached to the majo.ity ofthe House. You
will remember that some years ago, Col. Bv num and
Mr. J. had a trial of “pistoL and coffee” sei-. n times.
Commodore Elliott is at present in t*«is citv, con
'■erniug some Court Martial aflai>-. I breakfasted
with him this morning, and he appeared in remarka

.’Jr. addy 1 liomps-m, of South Carolina, with his

been .Speaker ot tlie Viigiuia House ot Delegates for
years succe-xivciy. Mr. 8., not having
the doem.'ient In him, -tated he was sorry, that he
mi»reprt-sen.ied the gr-ntltinan from South Carolina;
but luckily, Ai'• A bert Smith, of Maine, whois one
of tin- best men »" H l ’’ House, imtnedi itely referred to
the journals, and showed th it fd-ehood in the case
lay sole'y with Mr. 'l’ii 'mpson. It is impo-sibh to
describe the confusion ant m -rtificatioif ofthe Caro
lina g nil nan; he twisted, and turned, and writhed,
in every possible m anner, while Mr. Smith held up
tlie book to hnii, ami was so awkwardly situated that
friend n t foe appeared to lilt him from the mire ol
iniqtliiy he was placed in.

The Liverpool has brought a very valuable cargo, I
in< hi 'ing in it sixty cases of figure d silk of very rich |
fabric, and of the value ol ten ihousand pounds each.
—A. } Express.
Si.c humlr- d thousand pounds, for figured talks, or
million eight hundred thousand ilollars ! Whois
topav? Wlo c<ii wonder at the const,-utly <>.■< hi
iug bankruptcies ol individuals, and the sns|Mmsiuii
of paymeni by ihe banks, in a nation that tolerates
-uch unheard of extravagance? What a disgrace to
the people of this country, to he laid under tribute to
:i foreign nation for an article of superfluity in dress—
a people, too, who, if iltey would, might clothe and
teed themselves, a d half the world beside, on the
products of their labor, ami the physical resources of
their country. — Boston Courier.
The Boston Courier seems to think that this recent
importation of silks, is internled to foster the spirit of
prodigality, idle show, or flippant vanity, which has
humbugged the people for the last quarter of a cen
tury ! Why, la, man, how you talk ! Do you have
the unblushing affrontery to assert that ladies should
dress tlieinselves in common sluffs ? Infamous barba
rian—if Mrs. Royal does not give yon a proper
scolding for this interference with the ladies of fash
ion, we have somewhat mistaken her character. Do
you know, Mr. Courier, who pay for silk dresses?
Let the industrious daughters of Dian answer? Cm:
yon point to a young lady in this country, who sports
the silk habit that would not scorn to wear it if then
economy aod diligence to business had not furni-hed
them with the means of obtaining it? Talk about
expense! Does not cotton bring seven and a halt
cents ? Is not every body out of debt : and the coun
try got about eighty millions of gold and silver ?
And you want to economise J Whatadolt! N->
let the ladies fan the streets of the emporiums of our
country with their capacious silk and satin gowns— I
and w hoever attempts to deprive them of this perfect !
luxury and hem t-ease, in our palmy time of splendor !
and financial ease, is an enemy to them, and cannot
appreciate the glorious feelings of being in the ex
treme of fashion !
LATE FROM EUROPE.
Queen Victoria has officially declared her intention i
of taking “ to her bed and board” Prince Albert of!
Saxe Coburg and Goiha. The time when, was not ■
mentioned by Her Majesty, May a fine family of
responsibilities, reward the affectionate union of the
plighted pair. The hush and, however, will be noth
ing more politically, th m a D ike, which he will
doubtless, be created by Parliamem—together.w ith it
a few- tilular cognomens in the shape of Field Marsh- I
j al, Knight of the Garter, Bath, and perhaps of all the j
other orders, —and thru he will be soft-soaped to the
tune of some 30,000/. per annum, to support ihe dig
; nity of the Queen’s ‘-old man.”
At the Queen’s wedding there will helots and cords
of good eating and drinking : rum, brandy, and wine !
will flow like a river—“ English doins and chicken]
fixens" — turkeys, ducks, geese, quails, pheasants, aye 1
turbots too, and other choice selections from the finy :
trib-*, et. etc. without number; roast beef and plum
pudding by the ton—pancakes and 'lasses," < berry
tarts and sugar dumplings to the ends of the world.
Quess that ? 'obttrg man never seed such as he will on
the day of the wedding-.
The London Morning Herald states, that Lord
Pa’mers'on has addressed a letter to the Ambassador
of the United Slates m London, that her Majesty’s
rovernment intends to blockade all the ports in the
Chinese Empire, and that the circumstances under
which this measure has been resolved upon, render it
absolutely necessary for Great Britain to take this
i step. This is a most important movement; for it is
most likely that all the British forces iu India, flushed
with the victory from Affghanistan, will march with
alacrity to China, and reduce the Emperor to sub
missi.-n, and force him to make recompense. If to
this he added the quarrel between Lin ami the Empe- I
ror, the Chinese empire is in an unpleasant predica
ment. Ihe effect o( this blockade upon the ports of
the celestial empire if carried into execution, will
doubtless be known by next fall or winter.
The “ C onstiiuti-mel” states that a new minister
has been appointed for the United Stales, in the place
of Al. de Pontois, now at Constantinople. He is to
, be M. de Bacourt, formerly resident French minister
at CarLrube. The Count is cutting a figure iu the
east. Au Austrian paper says that he has thrown the
Russian diplmna'ists into a state of terror, by declar
ing that I' rance will recognise the independence of
Egypt, as was done in the case of Texas. lie has
, h:i*l an audience with the Sultan. He has taken a
splendid house at P«-ra, where he intends to entertain
I the members of the Divan and the diplomatic corps.
In Paris, an infernal machine was placed in the
Rue Montpensier, which runs at the rear of the Pal
j dis Royal, and discharged. Part of the stone wall of
the house was broken down, ami a volley of musket
balls given. 'This machine was fired by some of the
Republii o-Bonapartists, to prove that they were not
all in prison.
Ou the Committees appointed by the Speaker of
the House of Representatives of the United States
the Globe, of December 30, has the following re
marks :
“ '[’he Speaker announced the committees to-day.
We are not sufib ieutly acquaint'd with the body to

“ As it regarde the principal committees, having

lo bring forward, they will have the opportunity,
through their ablest men, to acquire full information

committees—to present their plans for adoption—and
to prepare substitutes for al! the bills to carry out

however, at every session, had this advantage ; but
it is remarkable, that, for a few years past, Mr. Web

CEN i RAL RAIL ROAD.
It affords us at ail times, pleasure to announce to our [
readers the rapid strides by which this great woik is I
progressing towards completion.
A new locomotive engine, called the John Bolton, I
has just been Linde I, and is to be immediately placed I
on tile track. Tie- engine is from the manuf-ictO'y of)
Aless-s. R-igei-s, K tchum Sc Grosvenor, Paterson, I
N J.—(fa somewaat diff-i ent plan of c< n truction '
from those already in use on this road; and from the;
successful operation of several engines made at this
establishment, there is every reason to expect that the
John Bolton w ill not disgrace her name.
Contracts for heavy portions of the grading have
recently been taken, payable in part in the stock of
the company. The whole of the. superstructure has
also recently been put under contract to the Oconee
river, a distance fi-.mi this city of 148 miles. Up
wards of 130 miles are already graded.
The track is completed, ready for i-ss to the 99ti>
mile, and in a few days the daily use of the road wi'l
be extended to the 100 mile station, where suitable
stores and accommodations for travellers are already
nearly completed.
A cargo ofi on, ofthe trail pattern, is daily expect
ed from Europe. This cargo is to be followed up by
oth- rs at short intervals, until the order for 2000 tons
is a complished.
The public w ill perceive by the above statement of
facts, that tlte course.of our great enterprise is on
ward, and'tliat we have abundant cause for die full
est confidence in its rapid progress to its termination
at Macon.
Our readers should al o bear in mind that the Al<>n
roe railroad has some time since been finished to For
syth, and the remainder to connect in DeKalb cotiniy
with the great State road, is all under contract, and in
mpi I progress towards completion. --Sac. Ge ngian.
