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.

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>-.

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 I say consisting as it doe- of a great proportion of j new members—how smces-fnlly the Speaker has I called out the business talent of the H >use in the for i ination of its committees. It is a task of great difii culty and delicacy, in i mt st have been peculiarly so j with Mr. Hunter, who is no> only a young member himself, but a young man. We think, in tlte main, hr I has been fortunate id his appointments. “ As it regarde the principal committees, having I relations with the Executive Administration, Mr. j Hunter has discharged his trust with great fidelity to all the principles which should have governed his se- I lection. The complexion of these committees gives assurance that every measure of the Administration will be fairly pri sen V-d to the House. The chairman ami majorities <m each are decidedly fax orable to the vw-ws which have directed the Executive, and which li.tve ia < cis «d the »am ti</u of the mass of the people, mid of tlte States, es evidenced bv the repr»'seiitation its lerth br»rn hrs of Congress.

They have, however, at every session, had this advantage ; but it is remarkable, that, for a few years past, Mr. Web ster’s maxim has been the governing one with the Opposition.

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.
