J{o debate occurred at this session, for two rea sons—1st, the repeal of the rule was unexpect- e j t and 21, the parliamentary forms hindered jhc Southern men from debating it. Nor did they yic'd quietly at all. They were forced to yield. In a Democratic House of two to one against the Whigs—the Northern aud Western Democrats joined with tho Whigs from those regions and repealed the rule. The act is the act of the Democratic party, a majority of tlicnt carrying the measure. Hut two men from the whole South voted with them. The South was conquered, and conquered by their Northern allies. Let this truth he ever re membered in the train of consequences that will flow from it. inventions ofthat gepcrol government#) bestow.

Abolition Convention at Washington. The Albany Patriot says it is in contcmpla tion to hold tip" Abolition Convention in Wash ington City on the 1st of March next, provided 200 persons in the various States will agree to attend if. The object of this movement is set forth ns follows: 1. It will be to inquire minutely into the extent of Slavery in the District of Columbia, ami the Territory of Florida. « 2. To get at facts relative, to the sale and transfer of slaves, through the facilities furnish ed by the intcr-State slave trade under the ■ protection of the flag of the United States, and I to take measures forThe abolition of the slave ■ trade. I ««3. To arrive, as fur ns may be practicable, ( at the amount of support which the Govern*. I men’, indirectly furnishes to slavery by and I through its diplomatic intercourse. I “Application will be made at the proper ■ time, to the House of Representatives ferthe I u.-e ofllieir (luil. The Colonization and T®ni- I [.orance Societies have had it, and thcreis .no I reason why that body should refuse to grant it I to us. Should such application be refused, I however, the Convention will meet on the na- I tional grounds near the Capitol.” I So this is the result of a quiet acquiescence I in the 21si role, which had only been establish- 5 ed as a nrf&uer of self-defence, and for the pur- [ pose of keeping out of Congress a question, the J discussion of which could only tend to cxcito I aud infringe upon the outraged rights and feel ings of the Souili! It was insisted,'however, I that tire rule, though set up to protect the rights I of property, in its operation, violated the im- I mutant right of petition. This parly insisting I that their object was not to intc^rre with the I rights of the South, but to protect a right which I they alleged had been infi i igcd. Tired of the I hateful strife, the South nt last yielded quietly I tan repeal of the rule. What is the result? I Renewed and more disturbing efforts upon this I deeplv interesting and exciting subject. We I hare it in the propositions quoted above, and ■ the objects and purposes of a grand Abolition 1 Convention to be held in Washington on the H lit of March next. Nay, they are determined I to hold tl at Convention in the Hall of the Hllousc of Representatives, or nt any rate, in Hthe public grounds near the Capitol. It is with ^■difficulty that wc can suppress our feelings !— Hit is hard to stop the pen from tracing the bur- Hiiing thoughts that rush to the mind ! But, we ■will only s\v. that such a Convention as that ■proposed, will probably not be held in the city “of Washington. From the Augusta Constitutionalist. It is amusing to read the letters, to bo found n the whig and democratic newspapers, from Washington correspondents. They state, to ie sure, that what they communicate is rumor; bat at the same time they take good care to as sert that the rumor should be believed, because they have it from undoubted authority. For Nr own part we do not place any reliance on ■«y thing that those Washington letter writers ommuniente. According to what they say it [should seem that the policy of Col. Folk is to “tsuc in the administration of tho Govern- en t what is already well known ; that, as one ass of writers soys, Col. Benton is to be the residing genius of the administration, and Mr. alhoun to be thrown overboard ; and that, as nothcr class of writers snys, the administra tis to be guided by the spirit of Mr. Cal- un. In regard (o the great questions now at hsue before the people of the United States, hose letter writers do not agree. One class J ys, that Polk is bound to Pennsylvania for !| e tariff of 1842, and another that ho is pledg- n fur a revision and modification of the meas. re . And so it is with the other great ques- ■° n s of the day. Wc incline to the opinion h*t no body knows how Col. Polk’s cabinet hi be constituted, and to what length ho in. :cm ?s to go in respect to a tariff, onnexation, ‘^treasury, and distribution. Of one thing iv.vevcr wc arc assured : Col. Polk will not "appoint the expectations of his friends. He 'ilhave the firmness to be the President of "a failed States ; and as such all his efforts 'hi he directed to give satisfaction to every Ntion of the country, if any President can do He will not pursue a policy which, while j °porat(;s most injuriously in one portion of Union, will benefit another portion ; which, ‘.’he it renders the South poorer and tributa* ^'nNorthorn capitalists, will impart prospe- j lty »nd wealth to the North ; which, while it e Pt|v©s the South of all the moans of belter "Sf'vir deplorable condition, will promote the i . h and prosperiiy of rinoth'.r p ■ ni n > 1 the -nion, where for so many years the e .S er >crnl government litis been so beneficial- j *"• Col. Polk will feel for a neglect, d, op- and ruined portion of the Union, ’ . has required, and even now requ ros, justice i*11,,.

Colquit, Cobb, Chap pell, Lumpkin, Ilarralson and Stiles, of the Georgia delegation, will accept our thanks-for Valuable public documents. We copy the following from the Federal Union of tho 7th inst. “EKIiOIS CORRECTED.” “ We are furnished from the .Executive of fice, with the following explanation of a state ment made in the Report of the Committee ap pointed to investigate the finances ofthc State, which wus published in our paper of the 24tli uIt. : In relation to the 100 bonds of $250 each, mentioned in this report, “ there being no evi dence of what has become of them,” it is found upon a second examination that they are satis factorily accounted Tor, by reference to the Treasurer’s Books and Minutes of the Execu tive Department. A clerical error it is pie sumed was made by one of Governor McDon aid’s Secretaries in entering the order of 17th April, 1S43, by inserting that bonds from “ No, 201 to 300 be burned”—it should have been from No. 101 to 300, which fact is supported by the Books in the Treasurer’s office.” We have referred to the part of the report to which the above explanation applies. It is in the following words : “ The amount of Fe deral bonds was taken from a regestry in the Executive Department, of bonds delivered to and accepted for by agents. In that amount, an issue of three hundred and forty-five bonds, of two hundred and fifty dollars each signed by A. A. Park, A. M. Horton, and Charles E. Haynes, amounting to $S6,250 is not included. Two hundred and forty-five of these bonds were burnt by Gov. McDonald, but there is no evidence of. vvliat has become of the remaining one hundred. They were issued—were not receipted for by any agent of the State—there is no evidence of thsir having been destroyed, and are therefore to bo considered as out standing, though they seem never to have been presented at the Treasury for endorse ment, or for payment of interest.” It dues not require a strained effort to per ceive, that this extract contains a dark insinua tion against the purity of the late Executive— and the ptesent Governor has d >ne nothing more than was due from him, in giving the ex planation quoted from the “ Federal Union,” to completely do * way the mischievous infer ences to be draw from the hasty report of this committee. Wc regret that the committee did not do this piece of justice to themselves.— Since tho appearance of this report, we have endeavored to inform ourselves on this subject, but we were nt a loss" to know how or where to begin, as the means of informa tion were confined to tho offices at Milledgc- ville. We however turned over the Journals of the two Houses, and we thought wediscov- ered material in pne of them to excite suspl- cion at least against one member of the Com mittee. At page 75, of the Journal of the House, this statement is found. “ The fol lowing resolution was offered by Mr. Merri- wether, and agreed to : “ llcsoloed, That his Excellency the Gov ernor, be requested to inform this House, what amount of State bonds have been cancelled and annulled under the act of 4th December, 1811, suspending operations in part on the Westorn and Atlantic Rail Road.” At page 113 of the same Journal, will be found the Governor’s reply as follows : “ Exf.cUtive Department, ) Jli illcdgcvillc, Nov. 22d, 1843. j In reply to a resolution of the House of Re presentatives, asking information as to the amount of State bonds which have been can celled and annulled under the act of 4th De cember, 1841, suspending operations in pari on the Western and Atlantic Rail Road. I have the honor to say, that the only evidence to be found jn this Department, in relation to the subject referred to, are the accompanying certificates, which show that-several Bonds of different amounts, but never issued, have been distroyed.” The balance of the Governor’s Message is not necessary to our purpose. The report says, that in tlits amount found in the Registry, an issue of three hundred and forty-five bonds, &c., is not included. Thnt two hundred and forty-five were burnt by Governor McDonald, but there is no evidence of what has becomo of the remaining one hundred. “ They were issued,” they say'. The Gov ernor informed the Legislature at its last ses sion, that the bonds which were distroyed, had never been issued. This information was fur nished at Mr. Merriwcther’s instance, and if the other members of the committee, were ig norant' of it, it seems to us that as nil upright committee man, it was his duty to have in formed them. That he was in possession of cviderice, that the bonds were never issued there can be no question, and it is for him to cxplnin how he signed a report that they had been.’ • Gy a ’ Go”, Crawford has issued his procla mation, setting .apart THURSDAY, the 13-.li day of February next, to be observed as a day of Thanks-givitqr and Prayer, throughout the State. The Southern lli'ilical and Surgical Journal. The first number of a new Series of this work has come to hand, edited by Drs. Paul F. Eve and J.P. Garvin, and published by P. C. Guicu, Augusta, Ga.

WEEKLY MIRROR. We have received a ricli number of this pe riodical, this week. As a Journal of the cur rent literature of the day, and chronicler of im portant events, it by far exceeds any paper of the kind published. It has for its editors, Messrs. N. P. Willis & G. P. Morris, whose literary attainments would reflect honor upon any country, and who have dyne much to advance the scale of litera ture in the United States. Mr. PI5LLIPSMCONCERT. It will be seen by reference to this gentle- imn’n advertisement- in to-d.iy’s Telegraph that he has by general desire, consented to prolong his stay for another Concert, tobegiv en this evening, at the Floyd House. The editor of the Savannah Georgian thus speaks of of him: SIR. PHILLSPS’ CONCERT. “On Tuesday evening, was attended by an intelligent and discriminating audience, who ap- predated with delight and surprise the variety of his notes, while the sketches which Mr. Phillips gave of each song whose origin he il lustrated with humorous anecdotes proved him “a fellow of infinite humor,” and were receiv ed with much applause. The plaintive melo dy of his voice beautifully contrasted with the deep bass which anon excited his auditor/ We would be puzzled to say which song was re ceived with most favor, if we except the “Light of other Days” and “Molly Buwn,” both of which were rapturously encored. Mr. Phil lips possesses a pleasing versatility for sucli entertainments as he offers to the Public, and this evening a selection .of new songs will at tract the first auditory to Oglethorpe Hal!, as also many absentees who will not reject this opportunity of hearing such music. Webe- lieve .that some are under the impression that Mr. H. Phillips has b B en before in this coun try. This is a mistake. Mr. Thomas Pnil- iips many years ago visited America, but he is not alive, having been killed by a car on one of the English Railroads.” .JUtco.'r miens cirt a t:.vs' BAGGIN G Dundee and Russia pr. yd. 18 BLANKETS- BLEACHED BROWN CALICOES.

IS, U 11. 8 3m DUE 37K FX£Z.S* Truth Akin to Eature.j H AVE you pains ? Be thankful. Ii is a vigorous ef fort of Nature to throw ofT morbific matter. From what may the morbific matter arise / From a bruise, of unwholsoine air which ns become mixed with the blood, not incorporated in it, but which is liable to taint the w hole mass if not speedily removed. Or the pain may arise from bile which has become had. rancid, putrid, in consequence ofthe want o( pnwer in the proper organ* to discharge it.— This pain which so FRIGHTENS people is only the symp toms of the efforts of Nature, (of the vital principle ofthe blood,) to e:vPEL the PEC ANT or iMruitE matter, which would otherwise destroy the human fabric. All diseases are ofthe solids Gr fluids, or both. Whftn wfe have pain in •our head, or in our foot, in our (lirOat or in out bark oj : bowels, let us bnt be satisfied that it is produced by the ?f- forts of our blood to throw out morbific matter, and if thid be so, if we can but believe and understand this, our cure will*be easy and generally sure. For our course will then be to help Nature to throw’off the morbid, matter, not to’ taxe away the blood. For the blood. EVERY DROP WE HAVE IS REQUIRED TO INSURE ULTI MATE HEALTH to the body, we must NOT LOSE A DROP ; neither must we use any medicines internally which are uot perfectly harmless, if applied externally to the body. Sowe most not use any of lhfr preparations of mercury, neither must trt use any vegetable medicine of CORROSIVE POWER. In order to discriminate bttwebn Truth, which is eternal, and conjecture, which is.like a transient vision, we must be guided by fire light of EXPERIENCE. To what does experience direct"? To the FREE USE OFDR.BRAX- DRETH’S PILLS in all cases of borrily suffering. A4 this advice is followed. SO WILL THE HEALTH OF THE BODY BE. The writer lias long used them, and has never found them f&T of imparting relief. In all acute diseases let Brand re! b Pills and mild diet be used, ami the* patient will soon be restored to good healrli. In chronic complaints let the Pills be used as often as convenient, by which means the vitality of the blood will be improved, and a crisis will be generally brought about : the disense being changed to acute, a few large doses of Pills and a few days confinement to the house, will change the chronically dis eased individual to a sound man. This is no figure of the imagination; it can be proved by a thousand matter-of-fact men who have experienced it. REMEMBER, in all (pi ses of disease, no matter whether it be a cold or a douth j whether it be asthma or consumption : whether it be rheu matism or pleurisy: whether it be typus of fever-and-ague, or bilious fever: cramp or hooping rough or measels ; wheth er it be scarlet fever or small pox ; tint the Pills known as Brandreth’s Pills, will surely do more than all the medi cines ot the Dru£ Stores for your restoration to health, and vrhat is more will surelv do vou no harm. TRUST TO BRANDRKTII S PILLS, take them 50’ as to product a brisk effect, nnd your sickness will be the affair of a day or two, while those who are too wise to fol low this common sense advice, wdl bfc sick for months.— Let the sick enquire of the agents fbr Brandreth’s Pi11£ whether these things he st or not. Let thetn.,enquire among their friends and ask the same question. Verily if EVI DENCE is wanted it shall be procured. To the Sick, let me say, use the BRANDRKTII PILLS Is the best advice mortal man can give you. )ldat Dr. Brmdrfcth’s principal office, 041 Broadway: (674 Bowery, and 241 Hudson st..
