Assistant Alderman Coox, offered tue fallowing preamble and resolution; \Vacre is a commute, purporting to come •trout a meeting ol tile citizens ol tuts city, .having announced o the in *yor, aud througu linn to the Common Council of the c|iy oi JKdsou, that the President of die United States, being on a to *r titrough the State of New Turk. imenJs shortly to visit his native county, aud this “tne city ol his adoption,” and that they desire the Common Council to tender, officially, the hospitalities ot the city to the Cud ..lott istrate; and Whereas we feel bound, in our official capacity, lo pay all proper regard and res pect to t e wishes of the People w hen clearly expressed ; but Wuereas no such expressions have been made, we cannot caiiseiu to depart from just au 1 democratic principles by expending tne People’s money tar the glorification of par ty measures, uor ca > ,ve consent to lend tne iullnenee of ouralticial stations for such purposes. Tint such would be the case we con scientiously believe, and respectfully oiler the following undeniable fact: in evidence: When it was officially announced lint the President of the United States was about to visit his native State, the p.ipuiai da in lustrations were in favor ot receiving him with the proper maniie-tations of res pect due to the Chief Magistrate of tho Nation. But before Mr. Van B uren had left the seat of Government, he denmustra ted his w ish to be Healed as the chief ot bis party, and not of the nation, as the follow ing extract ol his letter iu answer to the •Democratic Committee’ of Hanisburg will show : [Here follow the politcal lette rs in Penn sylvania, and from the President, about '•Democratic men and Democratic meas ures," and also llie speeches at Castle Gul den, showing the manner m *.«Licit Mr. \ au Bureii iusuiteu the higs ot New 1 oik, uy making parly speeches the moment he landed iu tue city.) It is therefore plain, beyond the pow er of argument to make it plaiuer, that vi r . Vau lluten’s tour is one of a political and partisan character.

Alderman Patterson, after a few remarks m opposition, ottered an amendment, pro posing to invite the President aud tender liim the hospitalities of the city. After an animated debate, the question was taken, and lost. The question was then taken on the pas sage ot tne original preamble aud resolution.

VAN BUREN LEAVING NEW YORK. New-York, July 9. The news market continues barren, ex ceedingly barren. Wall street. Pearl. Pine, Cedar, .’South, and Water streets, where go on the great operations of commerce, are exceedingly dull. The emigrants are flocking in upon ns in regiments. Seven hundred arrived yes terday. The weather is hot, and the sud den change from tho coul air of the ocean to tile hot impure air of the city, is not favor able lo heali h. The President left us at 1 o’clock, lie is to go to A Ibauy all the way by land, and to take the towns off the river on his route. Preparations are made for him all along, and the chart o! his route is fully laid out. Os course lie will lie a longtime on his way and as.the newspaper chroniclers are few on the way, 1 shall hardly be able to chronicle what is done. liis departure from this city presented an extraordinary contrast with the arrival.— Though the Admin stration pacers embla zoned the programme, and the party exer ted itself to muster au array so as to belie theasseverationsofthe Wings, that the Sub- Treasury speeeli at Castle Garden had driv en off the citizens from him, yet the signs attending the departure were a signal con firmation of this fact. There were riot fifty horses and carriages to escort him from his quarter at Washington Hall* '1 he people though their quarters were in the c.eat thoroughfare of Broadway, mustered but few, very few in number, and the efforts to cheer were such as such efforts usually bring forth, lifeless, soulless, the workings of man’s anatomical machinery I lake no pleasure in Rawing the remarks l.h i\e 1,1 ** ie uj’.on the reception of the Pre- s ‘‘.eui , tJ the city of his own State. His party took possession of him, and, giving himself up to the honors of a party, he has had what such honors are usually worth. But he has had no welcome from the Peo ple. He lias had no enthusiasm. He lias own no friends. Never was any predecessor of his in his illustrious station ever received with so much frigidity, They who saw the welcome o'. General Jackson mark well the extraordinary contrast, and Gen. J. was not a New-Yorker. We had no State pride for him. Thousands and thousands here detested his political measures ; but his tact his common sense, saved him from disgrac ing Ins office by allusions to party polities, when a ciiy was receiving him ; when its constituted authorities came out; when the military were his escort. We honored the office and tlie officer then with a hearty wel come—-but what a piteous contrast is this entree ami the departure of New-York's fa vorite son into the Capital! The President and the Mayor, in a barouche and four, I went out of the city to-day. and only the Custom House was at his heels! The President and Mayor were at the Bowery Theatre last night, and Ming again was in liis bow, and Riell was by his side! The character of the escor was not the choice of the respectable Mayor. Mr. Jefferson long ago predicted that the “ k’edeialists” the better to deceive the people and efl'ect their purposes, would take the name of “Democrats.” The pre diction lias been fully veirificd. Buchanan who declared “if he had on*; drop of Re publican blood in his veins he would let it put” is now a Jan liuren Democrat. So also is Jngersoll, who said if “be had lived during the Revo'utionary War he would have been a Tory.” lie is now, a Van Buren Democrat, also. —Halifax Ad vocate, From the Ala on Telegraph. THE EFFECTS OF PARTY SPIRIT. Although vve liave much to gratily us, from the past, yet it becomes us not to dwell in ltleless security, lor democracy unguard ed, tend to anarchy ; the dearest hopes may wither, and prospects the most cheering be enshrouded in gloom. Have we not great reason to gather up the mantle of our be loved Washington, and inscribe upon our banner the excellent aphorism he left us, that. “United we stand—divided we fall,” particularly when we see the political ele ment convulsed, as it were, by party spirit; we are led to enquire, is this the effect of patriotic feeling, or the expressions of a people animated by the great jeal >usy of ■hetr liberties ? Have we not cause to fear it is rather the foul spirit of envy, of hate, of ambition? I speak not of any particular place or party, for it pervades all places, mingles with all parties; and although we might hail with pleasure the gentle zephyr which moves the waters and keeps them tiotn stagnation, yet we at the same time dread the hurricane that levels every thing witiiin its reach, indiscriminately—all that is fondly and lovely. It is true, parties ave always existed in our Republic, since its formation, but they were originally par ties found upon distinct and important principles, and they only continued whilst those principles were at variance. Far dif ferent at the present time; the recklessness of uncontrolled party spirit has triumphed over the principle ; the bosom in which is enshrined the patriotic heart that palpitates or country's glory, forms no protecting shield, virtue no barrier, to its malignant darts; the hero, the defender of his couu try, in the hour of danger, who has gronu grey in her service, but who, per chance, lias been in the way of some political as pirant, must be hunted like the wild beast of the lurest, even to the verge ol liis grave. It is this selfish, this rnrestraiii ed libeily, arising itom that foul demoniac source, that has disgraced our federal halts ol legislation, by converting them luto arenas lor pugilismal efforts; that has infused a spirit ol mobocracy through our country, which has tlueateued to rip the pillars oi our Government Itom tlieir s'rong lounda lions; and which, if not timely restrained, will dash the proud tempi : of our liberties into one dark heap ol mins—yes. we sliouiii sink down into more than Siberian darkness, lor, should anarchy take ill*' place of order, we could not hardly predict Us sad conse quences—our dwellings would be made des olate—our fair fields deluged with blood property would fiud no place but with the strongest- -our country's honor would be lost. ISlioulu the melancholy speclacie ever be presented, as (which we pray God may avert) of a lawless baud moving towards our State, or even rising up within its limits; we would implore the aid of Him who sus tained us through a seven years' war; we would invoke the spirit of our fathers; we would grasp the precious charter of our rights, to keep it sate from its foul inva ders. We would raise our swords on high, Anil swear for it to live—for i> to die. And should we finally be overpowered,that place wtiere constitutional liberty should hear us, would be our common grave.—. Such a due result would gladden the hearts of those who have long proclaimed that men are unfit to govern themselves; it would destroy the Hopes of rational freedom throughout the world ; one dark gloom ol despotism would enshroud the universe; then would our Republic be like the happy llysiuiu which was-- but is not.

An account has been kept by the editor of the Harrisburg Chronicle, of all the late Fourth of July accidents which have passed under his notice in the newspapers, up to the 17th instant, from which it appears that no less than forty-one were killed, aud nineteen wounded and mutilate;* on (nat I day, by the bungling use of gunpowder an J artillery.

Seldom Indeed have we heard of a mur der of greater atrocity, lhau one receudy perpetrated in Scott county on the person of Mrs Elizabeth Risk, by a negro woman, her servant. The circumstances are thus detailed by the Georgetown Banner of Fri day : The negro woman had been ordered by- Mrs. R. from her work in the corn-field, and told to make a fire. The fire was got ready, to which was added an unusual quauity of dry brush, the blaze from which Mrs. R. was endeavoring to extinguish, when she was thrown headlong into the fire, by her servant woman, from which awful dileuui a she soon extricated herself, but unfortunate ly, in her retreat, she again came in con tact with her negro, by whom she was lev died to the ground with an axe, which pen etrated her skull to the brain ; notwith standing, Mrs. R. again lose to her feet, and was again knocked down, and the ne gro having procured a sharp pointed knife, endeavored to cut Mrs. R’s. throat, but missed her aim. the knife having been plunged into Mrs. R’s. mouth, severing her tongue iu two.—The negro, fell bent on executing her hellish design, continued to use the knife on Mrs. R's. body, until she lay motionless on the floor, and was sup posed hj j| ie vvomau to be dead—who ran with a.,i possible speed tp the field, and in formed Mrs. R’s. husband, that her mis tress had fallen into the fire, and burnt herself to death. Mrs. R. so tar recovered as to relate the circumstances to her hus band and oihers, to all which the negro af terwaids made acknowledgement. She has been tried before an examining court, and sentenced to await her final trial at out Sep tember ciicuit. IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO, Santa Anna superseded in the Mexican I’res ideniial Chair by Gen. Bravo. We were put in possession of this unex pected piece of intelligence yesterday by Captain Cottrell of the schooner Essex, from Matitnoras, which port he left oti the 10th inst. That tlie present Mexican rulers are capable of effecting many strange deeds, we are always prepared to believe, but that Bravo, with infinitely less talents and cele brity, should be elected, er chosen, for a situation, of which, as it appears, his mas ter was deemed unworthy, is a matter that seems to require more ernfirmation. The Essex’s manifest, shown to us by Capt. Cottrell, bears au endorsement to the efl’ect. “On the 7th inst, au express courier arrived here from Mexico, stating that anta Anna was driven from the presidential chair, and General Bravo elected to fill the vacan cy” Os the correctness of tliisstatemenf, Capt. Cottrell entertained no suspicion ; and when we take into consideration the well known fact, that the present races of Mexicans hardly recoguize any principle of action but the I luniiltuous incentives of unbridled li centiousness, the news may not wear so apochryphal a feature. Generals Lenuis and Canaiizo are nego tiating about Making peace. The former is encamped at Monterey, and the latter at Saltillo. Bustanient is yet in Tampico. Matamoras, we need not say, is still in possession of the government; the rumor of its being captured by the Federalists turns out to have been without foundation. The most remote idea is not entertained of attacking Texas.— N. O Bulletin. I should like to have two lines if I could get them. THE MIRROR a | :.3 ’ j (ftfi a Saturday, Ang'iiel 10, I SJIO. For President, GEORGE M. TROUP. For Governor , CIIAKIaES OOt «ISCRT Y FOR TIIE LEGISLATURE. SENA TE. LOVERD BRYAN. ItEPItESENTA Til ES. WILLIARD BOYNTON, JOHN WEST, JOSEPH WOOD. Tn the many matters that seem at the pre sent lime to agitate the political world, the two contending parties, in Georgia, at least, appear to be losing sight of their original principles, and man s Testing a disposi'ion to rim after the mere visionary phantoms tha* flit before them, regardless of what may be come of their fundamental doctrines. The Union party, (as they have tlioueht proper to call themselves, but more properly -honld they be styled the Federal anil Con solodation party,) finding that their watch word has failed in its potency, and is no lon ger able to si’stain them with the Federal doctrines of Gen. Jackson’s celebrated Proc lamation of ’32 hanging about their necks' and, desirous that the minds of the honest and thinking should be diverted from the main point of difference between them and the State Rights party, arc seeking after new doctrines to accomplish tlieir purpose, ob serving in the meanwhile, the strictest si lence iu relation to the fundamental princi ples of their faith. No longer do we hear the doctrine of Nullification cried down as treason, and its advocates and lelievcs bran* ded with the epithet of traitors and disunion ists. They have ceased to harp upon the blessings of Union in contradistinction to the doctrines of State Rights aud State Reme dies; but, like the Ja-kdaw ip the fable. wished to strut in borrowed plumage, they have thrown over their own shoulders, of late, the mantle of State Rights, in order to impose themselves upon the credulity ol the unwary and unthinking. And why do they thus act? Because, on these subjects the people have become enlightened—the yeomanry of the country have learnt that il the Union is to be sustained it must be done by su mining tne doctrines of State Rights and State Remedies, and without these, the Union* the Constitution and our liberties are but as empty names, as shadows without substance. Hence, all this desite on the part of our Federal opponents to keep si lence on these tilings—hence their anxiety to hunt up some ne.v theme upon which to harp in order to keep themselves in power and the people in ignorance—for it is a fact that they can never be sustained only on the ignorance of the people. No better proof is wanting of this than the simple fact that when the doctrines of Jefferson and Madi son were revived in ’32, they continued in the majority so long as the people continued in ignorance of these doctrines ; so long as tljgj believed that State interposition,or Nul lification, if you please, was a monster, de signed on'y to sever the Union, and swallow up our liberties. But when they came to reflect dispassionately upon these troths, and examine into the principles upon which our Government was created their eyes were opened, their understandings became en lightened, and they acknowledged their for mer errors by coming out in favor of and supporting those very doctrines they had been taught to consider as the Upas which were to sap the very foundntion of our liber ty and independence. The inevitable con sequence was, that the doctrines of Gen. Jackson’s Proclamation were repudiated by the freeman of Georgia, and the principles of’9B and ’99 were largely in the ascendant. In order that the people may be brought back to a proper understanding of the main point of difference between the State Right« party and those who style themselves the Union party, we intend to take the doctrines of each into consideration, and present them in their true light, so far as our feeble abili ties will enable us, with the hope that vve may contribute something towards bringing the parties back to their original stand, that the people may know what constitutes the main differenceofopinion between us. We are well aware it is considered by many that this is an old and worn out theme—that the arguments, ori both sides have long since, been entirely exhausted, and perhaps some think it folly to revive the. subject again.— With such, however, we beg leave to differ, for we never can conceive the arguments ex hausted in favor of State Rights and State Remedies, so long as their exists an oppo nent to those principles---so long as the right of a State to her sovereignty and inde' pendence is denied. In the first place, then, we wouhl ask what are the fundamental principles of the State Rights party ? We answer, in the language of Mr. Madison, expressed in the Virginia resolutions of ’9B: “That, as in al other cases of compact among parties hav ing no common judge, EACH PARTY lIAS AN EQUAL RIGHT TO JUDGE FOR ITSELF, AS WE LLOF INFRAC TIONS AS OF THE MODE AND MEA SURE OF REDRESS.” Ami again, in tue language of Mr. Jefferson, as set fort h iu the Kentucky Resolutions of '99, iu an swer to several of the Federal States which were opposed to the Republican doctrines of that day: "That llie principle and construc tion contended for by sundry rs the Stalk Leg islatures, that the General Government is the exclusive judge of the extent of the jiouers del egated to it, stop nothing short of DESPOT ISM, since the discretion of those who a ,min ister the Government, aud not the CONSTI TUTION, would be the measure of their pow ers : That the several States who formed that 'iistruinen, being sovereign and independent, h ive the unquestionable right to judge op the inf. action; and, THAT A NULLIFI CATION BV THOSE SOVEREIGN. TIES OF ALL UNAUTHORIZED ACTS DONE UNDER COLOR OF THAT INSTRUMENT IS THE RIGHT FUL REMEDY.” These constitute, in a few words, the doc trines of the Slates Rights party, and so long as we adheie strictly to the principles thus laiJ down in such strontr and plain langiixge, the liberties of our country are secure, and our independence will be maintained,for the powers of Federalism will never be able to prevail against them. B it wliat constitutes the doctrines of the Union party? We answer, they lielive 'hat every act passed by Congress is the para mount law of the land; “that the discretion of those who administer the Government, and not the Constitution, is the measure of [heir powers; they believe that the Presi dent is bound to enforce the acts of Congress under any and every circumstance, and that if a sovereign State should attempt to resist an unconstitutional and iniquitous law, lie, has the right, and it is his duty, to call to his ass stance the armed mercenaries of the United States, to whip her into submission; lliey believe that the States have, parted from their sovereignty and independence, and are consequently dependent upon Congress and the will of the President, for their rights and liberties; they believe that upon the forma tion of the Constitution, these States became cousolodated into one great nation, and strange as it may seem, they attempt to prove this position from the Constitution, it self; those, however, who are at all acquain ted with the history of our government, can r eadily imagine how futile such au attempt must always prove. With these truths and doctrines before hitw, where is the man of common sense who can hesitate for one moment to choose ? None, wc answer, none. Ilovv important, therefore, that the friends of State Rights | should continue on the alert, when Federal ism and Consolodatinn stalk about, iu open daylight, sustained ar.d encouraged by those who should look upon them with disdain anil contempt. For ourselves, we shall contin ue to war against them, because we believe those principles enliicly at variance with those we advocate, and because we believe ours paramount to every other consideration for when they are lost sight of, then will the rights of the States and the liberties of tho people be annihilated, an J our freedom scat tered, as it were, to the winds of heaven.— We, therefore, do not stop to inquire, whe ther or no. those we sustain are in favor of, or opposed 10, a National Bank, the advo cates or opponents of a Sub-Treasury, for these are questions upon wfiich the most sin cere politii al friends may differ—they are minor subjects which wo do not intend to separate us from those who believe in the fundamental principles of our faith. But the main question with us is, do those with whom we act, sustain the doctrine of State interposition and State Remedies ; do they advocate the Sovereignty of the States, in short, do ih , ' v adhere to the doctrine of Nul lification, and square their political course accordingly? if so, we arc willing to extend to them our best service, and sustain them to the best of our abilities. These feelings have influenced us in ad vocating for the Presidency that pure patri ot and practical Nullifier, Georoe Mcln tosh Troup, in opposition to those who be lieve and glory in the doctrines of Federal ism and Consolidation. Influenced by con siderations of tins kind, have we hoisted the name of Charles Dougherty, as Governor of Georgia, who has always sustained the principles of State interposition ant’ State sovereignty, in opposition to Charles J. Mc- Donald, who is an open and avowed Feder alist and Consolodationist, and who once vo tod in 'he Senate of this State, that Georgia should succumb to th? will of the Supreme Court, in a case where her rights and liber ties were deeply involved. When therefore, the people of Georgia take these mattets properly into consideration, Judge Dough erty will be sustained by au overwhelming majority. We have continued this article to a great er length than we had at first intended, and shall therefore come to a conclusion by prom sing a renewal of the question from time to time. A singular accident occurred in France, during a temnest on Sunday, the 2d July. A battalion of the 15st regiment, while on its march from Metiers to Wissemburge, was struck bv lightning. Two hundred men were knocked down by it, all of whom bled profusely from the mouth, eyes and ears; but it is consolatory to add, two only were killed. The Cost of B iaMing a B «elr.---The ex peuseß of President Van Buren at the Wash ington Hotel in New York, lor six and a half days, was Six Hundred and Sevenly-Six- Dollars, as stated in a morning paper. This bill was paid by the Corporation out of the People’s money. Nearly the whole of the expense of his visit there was paid out of the City Treasury. This is Democratic living with a vengeance? TO TIIE VOTERS OF SUMTER CO. HAVING K»Ue up my uuim (Httvoka bty,) to retire Irom public sue, 1 avail my sell of the earliest opportunity ol giving yoj tiie information so that you may, in tune, select some suitable peisou to fill my place. Your lortner kiuouess in onCe elec ting me your Representative, and the late evidence of y our contioued coutidi rice iu nominating me a second time to that respon sible station, constiains me, as au apology for my present course, to state some, ol the many reasuns, which have induced me to a dopt it. Tiie confused condition ol my pri vate affairs, (if no other reason existed,) is alone, sufficient to govern one, who, like me, Has so little desire to figure in public. You will readily believe me candid m this decla ration, when you recollect the indifference which I have universally iiiauilcsted for a nomination. .-No one can lie more gratefully sensible ot the honor winch you have, and would still fi rthcr bestow upon me, than I sin; yet, whilst l am fully conscious of, and grateful for your kindness, I must be per mitted to say that tho obligation is uot alto gether, on the side of the people, between them and tlieir Representative, as a great many oi the people seem to believe. Your representative, iu sacrificing bis time ami private interest to serve you and serve you faithfully, places you under some obligation to him, which few seem willing to appreci ate. But, if this were all, the patriot might find a sutficient reward for these sacrifices, in the consciencious discharge of his duties; yet there arc some, (and by no means a small proportion,) who are not content with hav ing a servant iu their representative, but lie must become an abject slave—yield up his private opinions, become the base tool of their private prejudices, pander to their pas sions and contribute to their wants, if he wishes to secure tlieir continued suffrages. This. It-llow citizens, 1 am nut prepared to do. I love my friends as well as auy m-m, but one who wishes to place me under these conditions, is no friend of mine. And, I will add furtherihat no honest man will con sent to serve you under such condition*, and hence the coutiuued cry among the people that there is no honest politician. Honesty and virtue are driven into retirement, whilst vice and impudence usurp their place, and this is because you will it. You may tLink this is strong language, but let me ask you candidly, what man *au be elected without electioneering with you, to ary office, how ever humble ? You will answer, if you an swer truly, none. And yet, when your rep resentative takes his seat in the Legislature, he 6weais virtually, that he has not done this thing.
