Cotton. —This material is first historically
noticed in the time of Henry VIII; previous
ta. which it is curious enough to observe, that
what were denominated Manchester cottons,
and Welsh cottons, were in reality fabrics of
woollen, imported in the first instance from
the Levant, nnd afterwards from the West
Indies and America. The demand for the spe
cies of goods made from this 4 44 weed,” never
rose to a very considerable extent ; and in the
middle of last century, it may be affirmed, that
not more than twenty thousand persons were
enga'jed in the manufacture throughout all
Great Br tain. Little more than 50 years ago,
it was one of the humblest of our domestic arts,
and now it covers the univeisal world with our
exports. In 1781, it appears from statistical re
turns, that 5,101,920 lbs. were received into
England ; in 1806 the amount had augmented
so the extraordinary pitch of above 75,000,000
lbs. and since that period it has gone on in
creasing in a like proportion. It was only in
1798 that the first cotton was imported from
the'Esbt Indies ; and within these 3 years, we
have seen the celebrated Pacha of Egypt sen
ding cargoes of it from the banks of the Nile to
our shoras. —National Portrait Gallery.

A few days since a ycung gentleman of this

Western Triumph. —The Grand Jury ofCiicrokeccoun
fv, at August Term. 1 -33. presented the proceedings of
the late Redaction Convention, mil recommended to the
people of that county, to vote neiiinst Ratification. There
were eighteen Jury men present, fifteen in favor, and three
against the above presentment. The Grand Jury list.is
usually made up from the most intelligent Citizens of the
county,and wo have nodoubt,but a wordfrom them in this
way will have its influence; we hope this example of Che
rokee, being the first Court in the Circuit, will hefollowed
by the Grand Juries in the other counties, as nothing can
be of more importance to thp people ofGeorgia at present,
than an early expression of opinion, as, to the fatal conse
quence- that may result from the adoption of a measure
so dang*, rous to republicanism, and so destructive to lib
erty.

The Governors Missionaries. —Since the late difficulty
between Governor Lumpkin, ami the pardoned .Mission
aries, he seems to think it necessary to send other Mis
sionaries to this section of country. “His aids though
few, feeble, and selfish,” as he describes them to be, are
travelling through the Cherokee country, circulating
Handbills* in favor of Ratification, upon the result of
which, tho Siiperinteniient’s success in remaining longer
about the “.Mighty W orkshop,” so much depends.
The Governors aids, having “despaired of his success
upon his own merit, are now endeavoring to identify his
prospects with that of Ratification; upon which ground,
wc are willing to meet them. The contest then will be
between Wilson Lumpkin, and Ratification, and Joe!
Crawford, and No Ratification.
*The Handbills alluded to are signed “Cottager,” and
the public are forivarnod against the doctrines contained
in them, as the supposed author is an avowed advoeate of
the Force Bill, the Tarift. and the Proclamation, and an
acknowledged Federalist.
TA* Commencement. -Thf pofiiical fermentation in re
lation to bringing out a third candidate for is
now over. The ordeal of the caucus is pest, and cur
ranks, instead of being broken as was hoped for on the
part ofourpolitical opponents,arc now strongly united,and
our efforts directed to the support of Maj. Joel Crawford,
by unanimity of sentiment and harmonious action on this
occasion. No fears of defeat need b’ anticipated by the
Republicans of Georgia, in the ensuing contest, and we
now look forward to the first Monday in October next, as
a day of Republican triumph, over aristocratic encroach
ments, federal usurpations, and the dangers of consolida
tion which our opponents are struggling so zealously
to bnng upon us. In the rejection of the proposed amend
ment to that constituiiC“, “H'*'”’ which wc have so long
prospered,and successfully combatted, the efforts
of the restless ambitious demagogue, who is unwilling to
be still a moment underany form of government, unless he
can be made the ruler, and mighty dictator,the people wilt
give energy to our state, firmness to the framers of its
laws, and justice to its administrators. The restless arm
of those wanting constant changes, will be paralised. The
peopb will see the dangerous precipice to which they have
been drawn, by the abuse oftheir rights by their delegates
in convention, without feeling the destructive effects of
the proposed change which must cause them to guard
their interests more closely, and prevent beingagain hurl
ed into simitar difficulties. The ballot box however is the
corrective of all political abuses, and the proper, altar of
atonement for all political sins, and by the vote of the free
men ofGeorgia, upon the question of Ratification on the
first Monday in October next, we will ascertain whether
the Majority or Minority of the people are to govern in
future.
-••aoci-
Ihe Grand Jury of IFilkes, at the late setting of the
, Superior Court, of said county, among other objections,
urge the following, in opposition to a Ratification of the
proceedings of the late Convention
“Because the proposed amendment is impolitic in a na
tional point of view. The late Convention has sacrificed
that principle in representation, for which t\ ashin/jton,
and the most ardent patriots of our revolution earnestly
and successfully contended, and which onr eastern pa*nl
riots felt themselves bound to yield to obvious right. By
thus sacrificing this principle, our own citizens have, fun
conseiously we hope,) played fully into the hands of our
present persecutors at the North, who have been for a
long time harping upon the base represejitation ofthc South
—and who will now be encouraged by Oie proposed meas
ures ot our Convention.”

Mr.. Editor. —Since my last Omnirmicn
tion to yon about how business was going on at
the 44 Workshop,” the 44 Superimendant” has
hail us all so tarnationed busy here, in prepar
ing the 14 Lpmpkiuiana Pernm <<*• bis newly dis
covered 44 King-cure-ati,” that 1 will be dog’ond
if your friend Troll, has not had to trott all the |
time, and he has been continually bawling out, j
Trott, Mr. Trott, and Coh Trott; and whenever
he says Col. Trott, says I what, and says he to j
me, yon know now Colonel, that all my depen
dence is on you, for I do believe from the
way Cuthbert conducts himself towards me, j
that ho has a sneaking notion of being Gover
nor himself; and h is disposed to get me into
all the scrapes about the Missionaries and nul
lification, jist so as to get me out of the office
as he may come in. And says he, I had ra
ther see you Governor, than Cuthbert, upon my
word I had. And say’s I, and so had J. Weil
says ho, Colonel, I’ll tell you what, do you stay
upon the fence about Nullification and Ratifi
cation, and snvs I, and Missionamjfication, and
all such botherification, and I may be yet in
youi station, and rule all this Georgia nation.
Yes savs he Colonel, it does not require
much these times to make a great man, for
when I first set out, I had hut one of the essen
tial ingredients, and that was vanity. 1 have
since found it neeessarv t<> add to mv vanity,
presumption; to my presumption deception; to
my deception avarice, for public favor, ami you
see here I am, 44 The Superintendent of a Migh
ty Workshop.” And say’s he, and here lam
Col. Trott, jist see how I have taken the shine
from Cuthbert already, for he never has got
higher than Captain yet, and lam a Colonel.
Well says he, Colonel, it you have got ail the
Lumpkiniana Panacea Pills , made up, let us
go up to the commencerm nt, and see if we
can’t dispose of some of them; for says he, that
town Athens, you know, beats all places for
Caucussing, yon ever did see, anil every body
comes there, that wants office, and if wo can
find a disappointed seeker, and administer a lit
tle of the Panacea to him, you know it will be
the very yarn; for under the present arrange
ment, Crawford will bother me most distress
ingly. Come says he. Colonel, come, come,
get your Pill-boxes anil lets be oft". Says I,
that will do, why Governor, 1 am no doctor.
The Governor then raised his brisseis a little,
opened his mouth big enough to have bit off a
Missionary’s head, and his eyes flashed like he
could look through the walls of the Penitentiary,
and he looked just as uglv Mr. Editor, as Nul
lification itself. Says he’, 44 lam the Superin
tendent of a Mighty Workshop, and my aids
are few*and feeble.” Says he, go and tell
Captain Cuthbert, to come here, and if he is
not a Doctor, I’ll look out where I can get one.
So down I goes to the place where they make
something thevcall Federal Union’s, and I told
the Captain that his services were needed at the
Workshop. So he puts on his wig, and up he
“fiCs. I trotted on behind until we got to the
ujpr, and the Governor ioo'iCf! “ rt * at me,
I Trotted off out doors. So they arranged ev
ery thing, Physic, Pill-boxes and till, and away
they started to Commencement, and here am I,
Trotting about out of business. But you know
the Superintendent was never known to stay in
one notion a week, and his next turn will be as
likely in my favor, as any body else’s. I will
write you again, and let you know what success
they had; how many patients they got; the na
ture and tieatment, of the different c-*es; the
effect, &c*. &c. I’ll write as soon as they come
home. Believe me Sir, yours or. the bank of
the 44 last ditch.”

LUMPKINIANA PANACEA.
The undersigned having procured a patent for
preparing and vending the above composition,
which patent expires so soon as he shall be com
peted to give up the Superintendency of the
“Mighty Workshop;” which, from “the signs of
the times” it appears will happen on the first
Monday in November next; and not knowing
what effect that much dreaded event may have
upon his health and spirits, believes he* could
not better subserve “ the best interests of the
state,” than by publishing to the “good people”
the manner of preparing the same.
Take one pound of foolish vanity; one pound
of deceit; one pound and a half of egotism; one
gallon of low slang; two gallons sublimated es
sence of Demagogue; five hundred lying pro
mises; ten pound of “ mystical” nonsense; bray
itall together in a mortar; and add as much 44Pot
ters clay,” to be procured from the bottom of 1
the “ last ditch,” as will make them ol the con
sistency ol paste; spread it out on foolscap pa
per; when dry, divide it into pills the size of “ a
pepper corn;” take one pill every day until re
lief is given. Should it fail for ten days, let tho
patient get upon tho fence, and remain there a
short time; if it still fails, let him turn a few
“ Summersets,” and “>:* *;: Jim Crow,” and
the cure is effected. The patient will be at
once able to get on to Congress, or fill any of
fice ho may choose, and be able to deceive, if it
were possible, “ even tho very elect.”
lhe undersigned by the use of this remedy,
although by nature a very weak and feeble in
dividual, has been able to perform as much ser
vice for himself, withojt one single 44 efficient
auxiliary,” as most strong and robust men have
done. It cures all those qualms of conscience
which most persons when young, are troubieu
with, and onablcs thoso who use it, to perform
all manuer of Work, whether in tho Shop or

Yazoo Speculation. —We have been some
what indifferent to give credence to rumors that
have been current in this place, ol the associa
tion of Gov. Lumpkin, with a company of spec
ulators who have been engrossing on specula
tion, the Cherokee lands, drawn for in the land
lottery of Georgia. But on a proper enquiry of
the sources from which this charge has emana
ted, it is sufficient authority for us to state, that
our incredulity has to give place to a correct
foundation of the fact—that his Excellency has
been engaged with a company foi buying up
Cherokee lands. It may be proper to know the
manner in which his Excellency has been act
ing. A rival purchaser applied to him for a
grant to a lot of land that was incumbered with
an Indian's improvement, which he peremptorily
refused to give. But so soon as *one of his
company bargained lor the same lot, the seal
| and grant of the Commander of the Georgia
I Navy was immediately delivered. It is to be
j presumed that scrip money lrom Uncle Sam. is
* the ostensible object; and it is on the other hand
painful to see the President of the United States
using such tools as Gov. Lumpkin, to distress
the Cherokees. —Cherokee Phenix.
White Basis Project — Uncqnalizalion. —Wc
regret that we had not sooner seen the essays of
Baldwin. It would have saved us considerable
time and labor, for we weie going upon the same
train of investigation he has pursued. —But on
seqjng his unanswerable demonstrations, we
have thrown aside what we had written, and refer ,
the reader to his clearer and better xvritten arti
cles in this day's paper. All we shall now do,
is to amplify a little, and place out rather more
distinctly to itscli) the final result that our cal
culations had in view, and which Baldwin has
alluded to among several other important truths
he has presented.
It relates to the white basis only.
As the constitution now stands, we all know
that the white population is unequally” represent
ed. The fact now demonstrated is, that if the
proposed amendments of the constitution should
he ratified; THE WHITE POPULATION
WILL BE MORE UNEQUALLY REPRE
SENTED THAN THEY NOW ARE.
If this can be proved, we claim the vote of ev
ery white basis man in the State against ratifica
tion; for no such person can with any consisten
cy vote to place the white population on a worse
footing than that on which it now stands: for he
would have to acknowledge, that to improve the
condition of the white population is not his ob
ject.
We think Baldwin has made a mistake of an
unit, by allowing 84 members to the 27 counties
having the highest white population: we can
make but 83. The er or however, if it be one,
is too small to effect materially the final result;
and whether more or less, it is against himself.
We proceed to the proof that the proposed
amendments would moke the inequality “of repte
sentation, even among the whites, geatcr than it
now is.
The white people of the 27 most
populous couuties, being 181,681 in
number, and electing 83 members,
give’ (besides the fraction of a per
son) one member for every 2,188 persons.
And the rest of the white people
of the State, say 133,614, elect 94
members—This gives one member
; lor every 1,421 persons,
Tho present difference therefore is 767
Thus stands the matter at present. It now
requires seven hundred and sixty-seven more
I wmte peii’fas in certain parts of the State, for a
representative, than it does in other parts
W ill the proposed amendment make it more
equa’ among the whites than it now /
By tne plan proposed, the 181,681
whites of the most populous coun
ties will elect 69 members, or one
member for 2,633 persons.
And the remaining 133,614 of the
white population, will elect 75
members—This gives one member
for every 1,781 person
Proposed difference 852
Leaving therefore tne black population entire
ly out of view; leaving all questions of property
out of view; taking no notice of the greater
amount of taxes paid in some parts of the coun
try, for the benefit of other parts; but taking the
Convention on its own ground, the white basis,
the situation of this white population would by
the proposed change, be rendered worse than it
now is in the exact proportion that 802 is great
er than 767. The white people of Georgia are
now 767 below equal. It is proposed to make
them 852 below equal.—Subtract the smaller
number from the greater, the difference is 85.
So that the juggling of the Convention would
disfranchise—would actually sink and annihi
late the equal rights and privileges of the free
white people of Georgia, to the extent of 85
white persons to every representative.—Need
any more be said to consign the project to the
lasting reprobation of an intelligent people?

TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OF
THE MIGHTY WORKSHOP.”
SIR- I discover, in tho Ctironicle of the sth
inst. that you are advertising for some “effi
cient operators,” &c.—and give, as a signe qua
non, that applicants “ must come prepared to
watch the popular breeze, and follow it, no mat
ter whether it sets for Union, Nullification, Con
solidation, or State Rights.” To all this I can
have no objection, having no fixed principles of
my own. In truth, sir, lam not so sure, but I
have already, advoi tod all the doctrines above
mentioned. This much Idp know, that I have
belonged to all the different p arties in the SlatA
at different times, il not at the same time. And
when it becomes necessary to keep with the
44 popular breeze,” it would do you good, to set
with xvhat facility I can cut a political somer
set. Why, sir, with just one fiipflap, I con, turn
from the Troup ranks, and make jusfas goods
darker, as any man of the party. lam sure
I can do it with much more grace, than your
Excellency turned from Nullification to C'on!
solidation, at last Commencement. Indeed
sir, after that man Pemberton, published in his
paper your Nullification letters to him, I began
to think that you were in a tight place. And
but for our well drilled party, who 44 can go the
whole hog, right or wrong,” you could not have
been sustained any longer. I have been aw.
fully alarmed for your situation ever since, but
still hope, by the aid of Auxiliaries, who are
neither fete nor feeble, that the Mighty Woth.
shop may be sustained at last.
I would tender you my services for a birth ia
the Shop, but for ono objection in your Card
which is, that applicants must “come prepared’
to go the whole hog for your aggrandizement,’
right or wrong. This may suit most •of our
folks, but some how, I don’t take to it myself;
I have seen things that I could relish better!
You must know, that 1 have a sort of judicial
itching, and don’t like to be overlooked. Can’t
this difficulty be gotten over by a mutual agree,
ment? 44 You tickle me, and I’ll tickle you.”
This is the way we must reconcile the matter*
for the judicial fevet has got such strong hold
on me, that it anmits of no antidote, but the
Bench. I shall soon be in a collapsed state
without it. They tell me, that when the Con
vention bill passed, (giving the C lark folksVich
advantages) I wriggled about in my seat, and
really felt to see if I had not got it. My fee
lings might have got the better of my prudence,
but I have no recollection of doing so, though 1
will frankly confess, that the idea did pop intv
my head about that time. So if you will ar
cept my services, without this latter qualifica
tion of 44 your aggrandizement,” &c., you may
consider the bargain made, and I will trust ti)
your liberality about the wages.
Perhaps a small specimen of mv advisnrv
powers would be desirable, for in olden time?’,
we never employed a school master, without
first seeing his hand write.
So I shall proceed in a familiar way, just an
though the bargain was closed, and I was now
in the shop.
In the first place, you ought to make our
Editorial Corps preach up the doctrine, that tbn
j new converts should be rewarded in prefereno
1 to the old standing members of the church*—
! By this means, we tie them down, so they can't
bolt, the old faithful servants who have stuck to
us through evil as welt as good report, arc
not going to desert us ; this will save for us ail
we catch, and hold out a tempting bait for Olli
ers to nibble at. Don’t you see the force rs
the argument 1 It is as clear to me, as a noon
day’s sun. And I know several persons, whost
case it fits exactly, and who arc in danger of
going right hack amongst our enemies, after
having got into our secrets. Don’t yon ttf
how nicely we fixed JVayne, by putting him in
the Conventional Chair ? He will hang w
now, sit, “till all’s blue,” notwithstanding k
says the old parties are extinct. The aposta
tes must be rewarded, or they will have to in
ducement to come over to us.
Secondly : You should be a little more tac
tions, who you write Nullification letters to, ati
when written, be a little more consistent, for
you see what your Pemberton correspondent*
has done with us. You thereby threw jreil
confusion in the ranks, and nothing else cane.:*
cuse such imprudence, but a perfect knowleto
that you never intended it foi the public eye.
If, however, you should be successful in getting I
enough Auxiliaries, perhaps the discontent etui
be healed. Be sure never commit yourselfH
again in like manner ; perhaps it may turn out!
for the better, as I understand you areveijß
pen’tent, and say you will profit by it. |
Thirdly: I must remind you of another lei* I
rible blunder you have made. When you wci’B
in you wrote borne to* your eosstt-B
uents, at a tit”'’ when all were alive on the siik-B
jeet of State Rights, 44 that every body
where to find Troup.” This gained you niM’Bj
a Troup vote, and was all very well; bat inti* jj
same Pemberton correspondence) you ck* ll ll
by saying, that you “ shall not ape Troup.’’-B
I am sure you can have no other excuse
such a blunder, than that your first letter was "l*
tended for publication, and the latter was not.Bj
Fourthly : As it is characteristic of a !n*l j
friend to be candid, I shall keep nothing
though I approach this subject with becorcitSm
delicacy. I mean, in the correspondence
fore alluded to, you call your Auxiliaries “ft**!
and feeble, and purely and exclusively selfish,
This was another firebrand, thrown out to top]
great discontent of the party. IVe have, bo*K
ever, partially got over it, by each one’s sgyinjlH
44 he did not allude to me.” j
Many of us were taking to ourselves
credit for our counsel, and thought we had Vdß *
under lasting obligations, when lo ! and behoMjt
you come out and call us 44 few and feeble,
purely and exclusively selfish.” This * I, I|
praising yourself rather too much at oureS’ll
pense. I j
Lest you should think I am too tedious* !■
stop short and ask, you how you like me as
Auxiliary t I am sure you can’t object tos>B
much truth and hope my services will be ac 'Bl
ceptable. 1
I shall continue to advise you “ with
ed interest.” 1

The Revenue.-- According to the data ahiwß

the first half of the present year, their seems’’S

with the revenue which accrued during ® 1

This is owing to the repeal or reduction * m
