She looked rather ill, and. in returning the following answer to the address, seemed to show she spoke only by her mmisixtry. On Aldermen Egan and Keshan beinnyarescnied to her Majesty, they had the honor of kissing I■ ^Majesty's hand. HER 'MAJESTY’S ANSWER TO THE ADDRESS, "I thank you for your renewod assurance, of loyalty to my person anJ crown. 1 have announced to you my hxed determination to uphold the law, and to respect the decis ions of my courts, to which the administration of justice is confided* "If errors have occurred in the proceedings of the courts, they nre open to review, and will be rectified by the su preme-tribunal of appeal.

The letter was written in reply lo an invitation to preside at the celebration of the 4th of July by the citizens ofPendieton, and ia copied Ireto the Messenger of the 5th: PortmaN Shoals, 27th Jane, {844. G ESTtEMEti— I have received yonr communication of the 24th inst, and feel highly honored by vour.desire, that I should preside at the mass meeting ol tue citizens of Pen dleton and its vicinity on the 4th of July next. I regret very much, trial X can jot meet your wishes. I have, for some time past, prescribed to myself an absolute retirement for the short remainder of my life. A large portion of tlio.best part of it has been devoted to the public service. This, I Lope, you and my other fellow-citizens will think entitles me to the repose desired for the remainder of it. In the principles and opinions which will animate your meeting, I Leariily concur. I feel indignant at the wrongs we saner sod anxious for the preservation of the Rig':’* which are endangered. On me subject of me Annexation of Texas, I entirely ap prove of the conduct of the Executive Government and deep ly regret the failure of so great and wise a measure. It is, indeed, lamentable, and posterity will look with astonish ment at the sophistical and mischievous motives which ere said to have led the Uepresentalives of an enlightenedj>eo- ple to reject an acquisition of snoli immense value to the greatness and welfare of the Union and the iuteresta of all and of every portion of the United States. The South, in deed, has a peculiar interest, on which it is sensitive, but in all other respects it ia less interested than almost any other portion of the Union. So true is this, that the acqui sition of Texas would introduce and enlarge the power of a dangerous rival in the production of the great Agricultural staple of the Southern States. But the North and West and the middle States have great and permanent interests, nnmixed with any disadvantages, which it would largely advance and improve. The commerce of the country gen erally, the cat.ving trade and manufactures of the Nprth and the Ag Icul trc of the middle and Western States, would all be greatly advanced by K. It is, too, emphatically a g-eat Western question. The day is uot distant, when, but for the rejection of this t eaty, Texas would (and it will and most in spite of the fac lorn decision of the moment 1) be peopled nnd governed by the people of the Western States. They cannot end will not allow it to be governed or controlled by any other State or people. It naturally belongs to and ought to be f art and parcel of their owA great valley of the M’ssisslppi. t would have been little less wise (particularly ns they are concerned) to have lopped off from the Union, Louisians, Mississippi and oilier bordering States, nnd have subjected them to the influence of ioreiga irtrigue- than to reject, os we have done, so great and w ise and benificent a measure as the treaty of Annexation- But tlio question is not yet decided. Toxss and the people of Texas cannot bo sepan ted from us by the factious motives and principles of th present evil hour. The prrqf interests and duties of lb at people and those of the United Stales must ultimately pre vail.

Below we give the most important account of the cause an<l resell of the late Riots in that fated city. In this in stance, the matter presented a more war-like aspect, and wai planned and carried out in a more systematic manner than any previous: Frcsli Disturbances in Philadelphia—(treat Excitement. Early on Friday moraing, an attack was made by a sms*! party of Irishmen, about SO in number, upon the tents which had l>eeo pitched fur the accommodation of the Native A mericans, on the 4tb. in Fisher’s woods. The few individ uals in whose care they were left having been forcibly ex pelled, and, in some instances, severfely beaten, the Irish men proceeded to demolish the tents. . Other exasperating outrages are alleged to have been committed by the Irish, among which is mentioned the rending and burning of the American Flag which floated over tlio Cth Ward head- a uarters, in the Nor.hern Liberties. The excitement pro- need by these acts of unprovoked violence, increasing throughout the day as the knowledge of them was more ex tensively disseminated, towards evening was inflamed to lhe highest pitch,-by the rumor that arms bad been carried into the Church known as St. Philip's de Neri, situated in Queen street, above Second. At au early hour, a laree collection of people snrronnded the building, and evinceu demonstra tions of a very alarming character. The Sheriff soon made 1ms appearance, and, in compliance with the demand of the people for a search of the Church, about 10 o’clock in the evening, accompanied by a large body of policemen, entered the bflUding, and brought forth twelve muskets, which were conveyed to the Southwark Hall, amidst tlio uproarious cheers of the multitude. The difficulty did not seem to subside, and the Sheriff and Mr. Wrigut Ardia (one of the wonnded in Kensington) addressed4he populace, promising to remain in the Church, and further examine it until moruiug. Mr. Ardis then chose twenty citizens, with whom and the Sheriff he entered the Church. The mob still remaining to the number of thousands, strict watch waa kept upon the front of the Church, until a slight rain descending, partially dispersed the crowd. About II o’clock, the "Union Fencibles," Capt, Lee, came ujion the ground. Their commander, in s brief speech, gave the mob five minutes to disperse ; and soon there were few persons left upon the spot.—N. Y. Jour, of Commerce, Blh iust. T E Z, JE a Jt ,1 P Mi . We are glad to be able to inform our readers that order has been once more restored in Philadelphia. The with drawing of the military from the scene of riot, and the sub stitution of the civil authority of the district, has had the promised effect of restoring order. The Philadelphia United Stales Gazette, lays:—"It is impossible to say, but for this movement, what might have been the consequences. It is certain that a war of extermin ation was meant to bare been waged npon the military.— No less than three thousand people (we really believe) were under arms in the District. They had, beyond doubt, at least six cannons; and there was not a store in the District from which all the ammunition had not been purchased du ring the morning. Their threats were of the most fearful character, a spirit of determined resistance to the constitu ted authorities was every where evidenced, and energetic measures were taken by* them to procure cannon, in order to attack the military, who were doomed by them to cer- tain destruction, unless they quitted the District, and gave it up to the charge of the civil authorities. Gov. Porter had arrived in the city, nnd after approving of the conduct of Gen. Patterson, he issued a Proclamation, calling on all citizens lo see the laws faithfully executed, and declaring ail persons found with arms in their hands, and who had not reported themselves for service.-na-open enemies to the State. He Withdrew the military force from St. Philip’s Church, and alalioned there a civil posse, which tended in a great measure to suppress the riot,- The Governor concluded his Proclamation as follows: Riot and bloodshed mpst be terminated at once. The duly of effecting this rests with the Executive, and those wlio act under his orders, nnd whatever the hazard, this duty shall be fs'thfully and fearlessly performed." At midnight nil was quiet, with every appearance of con tinuing so ; few persona were in the streets and the citizen police were gathered in and about Si. Ph’lip’a Church to protect it from assault, if any should be made. The Kitted and Wounded.—The persons known to be killed are Enos Walters, William Crazier, Messrs.

From what we can learn, it appears the Mormons in prison, were placed under the guard of tho Carthage Grays, and that au attempt at rescue was made by the Mormons outside, by shooting down tiie sentinel of tho'Grnys, wounding him se verely. Several shots were also fired on them from the prisoners inside, which enraged them so much that they shot down Joo and his brother Jiirath.

It has never hap pened to our lot to witness snch_ enthusiasm, as was seen in all ranks of the party ; and we can safely add, that rarely have wtxhad such an intellectual treat, ranging from “grave to e a J—from lively to severe.” It was generally known that Col. Cftappell had consented to address the people, without distinction of party, at 4 o'clock on that day; and, at the time appointed, a very large and eager assemblage were in attendance, all anxious to hear this honest and dis interested statesman give his views upon the great questions now agitating the country. Tiie meeting -was one of the largest ever seen on a similar occasion in the city. Col. Chappell addressed the meeting for two hours and n half—embracing, in his discourse, most of the questions which divide the great contending parties of the day. He displayed, throughout, consummate ability, and a patriotic burst of eloquence, that brought forth the most rapturous applause. The most obdurately prejudiced were satisfied and convinced that Cot. Chappell had been actuated by the most exalted patriotism, and with a honesty and purity of motive as rare as it was undoubted. Our limits will not permit an extended notice of this ad mirable speech. It was a proud day for Mr. Chappell; and we ouly desire that every citizen of Georgia could have heard him. j In the evening, at an early hour, the Democratic Party assembled at their " Association Hail," agreeable to the call of the President. It was generally known that some of eur most eloquent men from a distance, were with ua, and had consented to address the Democracy. We have never seen so large a concourse at any meeting in the city, purely cx- party in its character. The meeting was opened, by a call on George C. Alford, Esq. of La,Grange, who, in a brief address, made a most patriotic and eloquent appeal, which was highly applauded. Mr. Alford gives earnest of a higlt character, as a popular speaker, and kids fair to become useful, at some future day. He is a sen of llie Hon. J. C. Alford, who is also now aiding in the glorious cause of Democracy. Gen. II. A. Harralson was next called out, and nobly did he respond to the call. He gave a succinct and graphic ac' count of tho action of the parties, on some ol the exciting to. pics of the day—dilated, with much force’ nnd effect, on the disorganising and revolutionary movements of the Massa chusetts Legislature, on the subject of Slavery and Texas— and with much severity, on Mr. Adams and others, who were for disunion, rather than Annexation of Texas. Gen. Harralson is an able and popular member of Con gress, and ail indications are favorable to his re-election. After he had concluded, Col. Wm. M. Samford, of Green vilie, was loudly called for. His chaste and eloquent ad. dress on Female Education, at the College, this day, bad given him high character here; which, ndded to the fact that he sustained a very high reputation in the section of the Slate where he resides, produced much anxiety to hear him. Col. Satnford has eloquence of a high order; and his effort on this occasion, gave evidence of his varied and rare talent for popular speaking. He ha a been chosen a candi date for Elector, in the District where he resides, and will enter warmly in the cause. When he had concluded. Senator Colquitt arose, amidst the general call of the meeting. We have heard this gifted statesman often, bu t never so eloquent and happy. He spoke for more than two hoars—touching npon the various incidents in the hi-.tory of the Whig Party, as well as the topics of the day. We have heard but one opinion expressed, of exulting delight at this rare effort. It was tiie very best at what is called “stamp speaking^’—demolishing tlio little pigmies of Whig- ^ery, by his varied wit and humor. His charicatures were true to life, and created a groat hurst of merriment.

Tiie friends of protection point to the fact, that th* imports of the country ha Vo increased lately, and use it as an argument to prove tiiat this is a le gitimate effect of the tariff of 1842; when the truth is, that the reviving prosperity of this country— from the fact that the people had worked them selves out of debt, and were able to buy more than Tor some time previous—called for incieased im ports to supply their increased demands and ability to pay. Such had been the diminution of con sumption, arid so small the supply, that the in- on, that the success of Henry Clay is «* doubtfn) in most of the States, as it is certain that hfe ^ forfeited the vote of Georgia,—wo are encoura^ j to hope that those great principles for which vre ap contending, will yet prevail—and the country tescucd from impending calamity. MERCURY, Democratic Meeting in Talbot County. A meeting was held in Prattsburg, on luc^j, Jilt, (the day of General muster) to take into con sidcration tiie propriety of ratifying the late Demo cratic nomination, and also the immediate An-** ation of Texas. J. C. Boynton, Esq. was ^ ed to the Chair, and W. A. Skeiun, requested to act as Secretary. The object of the meeting having been stated bv the Chairman, the following resolutions were read by J. H.

Looking alone lo the best interests of ourcoun- •try, we, a portion of the Democratic party of Tal bot county, have met for the purpose of respond ing to the nomination made by the Baltimore Con vention, believing as we do, that in its selection it has given us men, capable, willing, and failhfil lo carry out the known wishes of a majority of the American people, if clecled to (he high station td which they have been appointed, Therefore, Resolved, Tiiat this meeting heartily approve Accidental causes have concurred to produce a j the nomination of JAMES K. POLK, for Presi- turing countries, and the stimulus applied, by that means, to .their operation, and enhanced by the opening of new markets, and the low price of tiie raw material, had caused them to accumulate such a stock on hand, as to induce them to make ship ments at a small profit, or even at a venture of no profit at all. The union of these two causes—our increased demand and ability to buy, and tho foreign supply being large—ha3 hurried an amount of imports in to this country, Tn a short space of time, and swell ed the revenue in a manner that cannot be set down, by any piudentcalculation, as the basis of future revenue. stale of things, at this juncture, out of the usual course of events, and their influence has been so powerful, as 'a break over the prohibitory walls of I dent, and GEOJvGE M.

We give it up now ! Gen. Clay, of the American Revolution ! Texas. One of the principal arguments used by the Whigs, against the Annexation of Tcxas/is, that would lessen the value of lands, as well as every other species of property at the South. To show the fallacy of this reasoning, it is only necessary to glance, for a moment, at the history of the settlement of this State, as well as the States South and South West of us. It is well known that all of these States have been settled by emigrants, chiefly from Maryland Virginia, North and South Carolina, and that too, in less than thirty years. While the enterprizing and hardy adventurers from these States, have found comfortable homes in the South and South-West, the States from whence they emigrated, have suffered no diminution, cither in population or in (lie value of their lands anti other property. But, on the contrary, have continued steadily to increase in all the elements that consii tute a great and powerful people. Lands are worth more now in the Carolinas and Virginia, than they were twenty years ago. Enterpiizc continues to ply her arts; religion, science, education, and indus try, as well as the increase of public case and pub lic happiness—wltich are their consequence—em bellishes lifo, and elevates the spirit of .their people, Plenty gladdens tho eye on every hand, and tho enterprizing and industrious, sit down in the lap of abundance, throughout their borders. Such, loo, would bo tho condition of Georgia, Alabama, Mis sissippi, and Louisiana, should Texas be annexed to tho Union; if they are permitted to enjoy the fruits of their industry, untouched by the cupidity and rapacity of the Northern manufacturer. But there is one view of tho question, that seems to have escaped the opfxjncnts of Annexation entire ly—it is this: suppose, by rejecting the Treaty, or delaying the admission of Texas into the Union, we lose that valuable territory, and it should full into the. hands of England, she would then have accom plished the greatest desideratum in her national pol icy, for the last half century—namely: a cotton- glowing country. What, wc ask, would bo the ef fect of this, on the cotton-growing States at life South? Texas, with a territory almost as Iatge a3 (lie entire cotton region of the South, with a soil as fertile as the far-famed valleys of the Nile, would raise sufficient cotton for the foreign consumption of the world. ’ England, once in thn possession ofa cotton-grow ing colony, would exclude, by prohibitory tariff, ev ery bale of cotton raised in the Southern States, Wc tell the FOR THE MACON TELEGRAPH. “What is brctl in the hone,” &£. Oneofour^ity prints, has made the attempt, very deliberately, to impose its own. lucubrations, as being the exponents of the opinions of the Great Whig Parly; so he it. It is always obsetvable, that when a cause is becoming desperate, resort is frequently had to vi tuperation; so whenever abuse assumes the place of argument, it may be inferred that those who thus offend, have really no other resource. Indeed, this position is.fairly borne out by the general tenor of all the leading editorials; and the paucity of sense, and the meagre, thread-bare so phistry of those articles are so pitiable, that a reply in due form is altogether uncalled for. Assuming, however, as they do, to announce to the world that Whig Victory already hovers over their cause,— for, that the great lights of the Democratic party have suddenly gone out, leaving their giant lcadet to shine alone in all his glory; and dazzled as they are by such a spectacle, even in imagination, they do assure the world that to the Locos no longer be long “the spoils. Wo cannot be altogether silent. What is the truth of the matter? why “strawsshew the direction of the current”—and, really, the su perabundance of cautiousness manifested in the les sons of warning and of alarm in reference to tho coining Convention in Forsyth, was worthy of ad miration, when taken in connexion with’tbe itera ted charge of the utter extinction ofDemocratic prin ciples in the community.' They know it well and feel it too, that, since the first movement in this controversy of Measures on the one pait against Henry Clay on the other, the Democracy hare no!, at any period, united until now, as one band, from end to cud of the land against Henry Clay; and, that now, magnanim ously yielded up have been all mere persona! pre ferences;—and in their undivided might, they stand strongly united, and invincible. The Clayites well feel this to be tile juncture, as at presnt existing; and in evidence of this they are strenuously active iu their endeavors lo foster and keep up a feeling of strong and vindictive opposi- that the people of the Uuitcd Slates, and of South- tion to the success of principles—derived in their ern and Southwestern States especially, without Resolved, That this meeting will leave nothing undone to secure honorably—the election of candi dates, thereby pledging itself to battle manfully for the cause of Polk, Dallas, Texas and our common conntry. Resolved. That in the opinion of this meeting, England is striving to establish her influence iu Texas, thereby opening one of the greatest aven ues for the destruction ofonr peaceful republic— with such evidence before us, we are determined to hoist the flag of Polk, Dallas &Texas & merge into the thickest of the fight, for the cause of ourcuunny, After which, It was resolved’, That the procced- ings of this meeting be signed by the Chairman and Secretary, and forwarded to the Columbus Times and Macon Telegraph for pubication.

The citizens of Dooly county met at Vienna, nit the 15th ult. according to previous arrangements, to take into Consideration the importance of the im mediate Annexation of Texas to the United States. On motion, David Graham was called to the Chair, and Winfrey L. Siiocklf.y, requested to act as Secretary. Maj. Thomas B. Donnelly, proceeded in a brief and pathetic manner to state the object of the meet ing. Thomas H. Dawson, Esq. then rose and addressed the meeting in a glowing and patriotic style—pointing out the necessity'and constitution- [ ality of the immediate annexation of Texas to the United States. Col. Amos W. Hammond repli ed spiritedly in opposition; whereupon, Gen. Dan iel, in a calm and persuasive manner, called upon the citizens without distinction of party, to come forward as one man, to the accomplishment of ff purpose of such vital importance to tho country. The question of the rc-annexaiion of Texas to 1 the United States, is, in the opinion of this meet ing, second only, in importance to that growing out ofour Declaration of Independence as a Con federacy of Frec and Independent Stalesit is, emphatically as was that a question of patriotism- However, the people may often differ among themselves as to the best mode of conducting pub lic affairs, and as to the selection of men to carry out 4heir respective views, in the administration of this Government, they generally unite—the great mass always unite, in evincing to the world their Jove of country in every National emergency— This glorious quality, peculiar to our own people, is the best safe-guard—the strongest arch in the ed ifice of our constitutional freedom. Hence it is> purity from the fathers of the republic,—but with which the Whig party of the day have no sympa thy. Angry discussions do no good. The pert and the frivolous are unfit to be the champions of a no ble cause. No strain offancy, no sttetch of imagi nation, however glowingly depicted, or humorous ly delivered, can suffice to convince the plain com mon sense of comjnon people, that wrong is right, nor change them in their views of the unaltered sameness of policy which marks the advent of Whig doctrines. At all hazards they would ele vate Henry Clay,—reckless of the consequences regard to former parly lines or distinctions, have united with almost'xmprecedented unanimity in fa vor of the great “American measure” of receiving Texas back into our Union, and thereby securing “against all foreign invasion and aggression” IW portion of out beloved country, which lias liitlierto been the most defenceless, and at the 9ame time the most easily accessible to our enemies, and more particularly to the enemies of our peculiar institutions. “That the annexation of Texas "ill be as an iron hoop around our Union,” is a sa ! ’i' cient consideration, to draw to its support tbs P a ' trioticofall parties—that it would add to the scale to the true interests of the countiy at large, or of ofour “domestic tranquility,” the “common de. the South in particular. Can we cease to remember the honied smile that veiled the enormity of the announcement made in open day, unblushingly, that in advocating the compromise (sole cause of his popularity among us) he thereby intended to save the principle of “pro tection.” However the phrase tnay be veiled, it mean* no less than what the Great Northern Whig Party boldly avow—a determination to pass by the compromise act as a dead letter—and to tccur to all they attempted—and in the power of their might to fasten upon us the yoke of an onerous Tariff de vised for the permanent protection of one branch of fence” and the “general welfare” of the Union, no one could pretend to question before an enltghttm™ public. Evcty consideration ofour peacennd safe ty, of the prosperity of our institutions, of tho »pt ea of free Government, demand of us the immediate acceptance of Texas as an integral part of ° UI Union. Texas was once ours—our title was unquestion ed—contrary to the laws of nations, and witb° ut any authority, express or implied on the parte our Government, Texas wa3 dismembered from our Union by the treaty of 1819, with Spa' n > when there was no actual necessity requring ■!• industry alone.
