Salutatory*
■*r The multiplication of newspapers has be
ne so frequent, that the existence of another to
.. many which have preceded it, lias ceased to
regarded as a nuvel occurrence, or an impor
.t event: and yet, such is the enlivened spirit oi
a age, that the demand on the powers and soul
kindling energies-of the press, are everyday
•reasing. The promptness and facilities of
j.plying the spontaneous calls for “more light”—
and a more frequent reference “to the passing
dings of the times,” assure us that our effort
111 be approved. Already have our views met
ith so cordial a response, that -we enter on out
ties with a cheerful spirit; and impressed with
jther assurances of increased patronage, we
•Jn present ouraelf to the public, devoted to its
. vice, and anxiously solicitous to merit appro
i. tion.
We congratulate our readers in commencing
.r labors at a period so propitious to the propo
rtion of political truth, and to the explosion of
.lisprudential error. A sure guarantee of safety.
<d of virtuous and legitimate construction, has
on given in a recent decision of the Supreme
„urt of the United States, which marks an ini-,
rtant era in the judicial history of our country.
; that decision, the hitherto irresponsible cha
nter of a formidable tribunal, has become more
red and definable; and we are proud in the re
, ction, that to Georgia belongs the honor of ac
mplishing an event so essential to the preser
.tion of our dearest and most valuable rights,
he tributary condition in which the Southern
iates have been long held, by a “ combination
i small minorities,” is rapidly disappearing un
r the moral influence of our sovereign character—
.:d their persevering, energetic and enlightened
ivecacy, has thus far, triumphed over the fcar
,l odds of wealth, power and patronage. No
nger need we dread that the wheels of a Juili
■il Juggernaut will roll over and crush us. The
i.rshippers of “the beast’ are covered with
tme, confusion and defeat; and tlieir loud ho
.ana’s arc hushed, and we hope, silenced for
v rr. .
The high and patriotic feelings which such a
retory is so well calculated to inspire, are, how
v er, embittered by the reflection, that the iinpor
■ :it results which should immediately havesprung
; om its achievement, may be temporarily arrested
i y the singular position in fthhrh the two head
.beers of the government, and their partisans,
nr stand. It is needless to any, that tve allude
, tl.e sch ism between the President ajid his Vice,
, which the friends of the present adtninistra
•. n have been, disorganized. The develcpe
uients which have resulted from the controversy,
. nfiim us in the opposition we have heretetc
-1 .e held to Mr. Calhoun. Ever since the can
\ ,ss for the Presidency, when Mr. Clay, (the
■ m American Warwick,) “sold his birth-right,”
: ..d cancelled, for a time, the suffrages of a free
< pie, w e became convinced of the political ter
iversatiou of Mr. Calhoun, and the a-la Tallcy
nd instability of hia attachments —of his equi
••. cal character as a statesman —and \ iewed him as
“weathercock, placed on the political edifice, to
dictate the shiftings of each popular breeze.”—
Vo those states which patronized the “ American
; ystem,” he, at that time, to secure their votes,
rave in hia allegiance, and was recognized by
'n m as a favorite champion of the Tariff and of
internal Improvement —while, at home , (tnirabile
■ iCtu!) “ Free Trade and State Rights ,” was the
motto which he flourished in the eyes of his de
ded admirers. These, and other considerations,
i luce us to look with indifference upon the atti
.de he has assumed. He has made himself a
* marked man,” and instead ot enjoying the ntga
it consolation which is reserved for “a victim
'V political intrigue,” he may live to/ tl the pos.-
e condemnation consequent upon a voluntary
.id reckless abandonment of principle.
But, enough of this for the present. We shall,
i creai'ter, no doubt, have too frequent cause to
: ■ I vert to the unpleasant subject—yet, in doing so,"
ur only object will be to awaken the people to a
; ue knowledge of the political transactions ot the
,iy; and having done so, we shall repose, in the
unost confidence, and abide in the greatest cheer
lness, upon whatever verdict they may choose
.. pronounco.
ijj* The paucity of our present number is inci
cut to the'birth of all papers. Depending as we
, on our brethren of the Type for exchange pa*
• rrs, and not having yet received them, is our
pology for a want of greater variety and interest.
Vv e expect soon to be supplied with a number of
•11 selected American papers and periodicals,
.id a I'eW of the leading Foreign ones: until then
v<■ hope to be indulged. An immediate exchange

“Reduction.**
We publish from the Georgia Journal some in
teresting remarks upon tins important question,
to which we invite the attention of our readers.
As Ve deem it a subject of moment to the people
of Georgia, it will hereafter, claim our early
notice.
The Weather.
“ Winter lingers in the lap of Spring .”
For the last week or two the weather has b°en
unusually cold for this season of the year. A few
days since, we were visited by a hoar and black
frost, accompanied by a slight encrustation of ice,
which has done some injury to early vegetation.
The season, however, is now becoming more bland
and temperate; and “ veiled in a shower of roses,”
Spring, with her “etlierial mildness” is fast de
scending upon us, from “the bosom of her drop
ping clouds.”
Foreign.
The commercial and political intelligence, un
der this head, in our paper of to-day, possesses
more than ordinary interest. It will be seen, that
contrary to previous statements, the East India
and other possessions of England, are to be ex
empt from the operation of the duty on Cotton.—
From this it is evident that the policy of the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer is not, exclusively, a re
venue measure. Its retaliatory character, although
not officially expressed, but warily concealed,
cannot now be misunderstood; neither vPilHhe
American people be at a loss to whom they shall
attribute the paralyzing influence it must exercise
upon the commerce of the country. They wall
look upon the originators of the present Tariff, and
the advocates of a inisnomered “ American Sys
tem,” as the prime movers of this “ lex talionis ,”
which is destined to shackle their enterprizei
prostrate their industry, and at one “ fell swoop”
annihilate all the benefits of their trade. But,
notwithstanding the embarrassed condition
into which the great interests of our country
will be thrown by this act of the British Minister,
we ardently hope, and confidently believe, that it
will eventually operate a good effect. It must
forcibly convince the peoqle of the destructive
tendencies of the Tariff, and of the absolute ne
cessity winch exists for its modification. It will
point, as a striking index, to those erring states
men, who have fixed upon us that “ Bill of A
bominations,” and plainly show, who are, and
who are not, the friends of the Republic. .
We predict, that the friends of the Tariff will
approve this measure, by contending that it will
not affect the intrinsic value of American Cotton —
Their motive for doing so, however, will be evi
dent, when we reflect, that the imposition of this
tax, favors their views of political economy, in the
same ratio as if they had secured an additional
prohibitory duty to the same amount upon the
manufactured cotton fabric of England that comes
to this market. The exporting purchaser will not
so frequently embark in the trade, inasmuch as
the opportunity for realizing his usual profits, af
ter covering the amount of the duty, will be of
rare occurrence. His attention w ill therefore, be
more immediately directed to the comparatively
unrestricted cottons, which if not entitled to rank
in quality with American Uplands, will enjoy the
factitious advantages of a preference, created by
the protecting influence which is offered them.
Having the evil and the promoters of it, thus
exposed, the people will not be slow in redressing
the one, nor reluctant in signally punishing the
other. Should the present state of things accom
plish, as it ought to accomplish, so desirable a re
sult, we shall consider the project of the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, as among the greatest
blessings which has fallen upon the country, since
the period when she first shook off the fetters of
colonial vassalage.
Our political advices are also of a highly inter
esting nati I- . Tiioy left France At the eve of an
other Revolution! —Singular and capricious people!
Who can tell what impulses actuate them] To
day, the ardent admirers of a Monarchy—to-mor
row, the enthusiastic and chivalrous advocates of
a Republic—and ere the following sun has set
upon their heads, the mad promoters of a furious
Anarchy!
The conduct and feelings of the mobocracy, as
they are now presented to us, are strongly im
pregnated with those wild and fiery elements,
which distracted France during the reign of Ro
bespierre, and shook Europe to the centre, under
the dictation of the mighty Corsican. Who
knows that the young Napoleon may not spring
like his sire, from the eonvulsed bosom of a Re
volution, and, after “riding on” its “whirlwind,
and directing” its “storm,” re-establish the Dy
nasty which expired in blood on the field of Wa
terloo! —Should the state of affairs in Europe
warrant such an expectation, Austria, we think,
would not be backward in promoting its realiza
tion. Cut, all is conjecture—and we wait with
much anxiety to hoar the bursting of a storm,
which mutters so loud and terrible in the dis
tance.
Poland*
Avery spirited and patriotic article in the JT 'est
miruter Review, on the subject of the affairs of Po
land, says:
“There is only one question; WillJZurapc
ilcscrt Poland ! If she does, it is simple cha
rity, and pure umininglcd meek humanity to
pray that she may be subjected for another
half century, to baser barbarians if they can
be found, to more ensanguied hypocrites if the
earth can breed them, than those who have
borne sway and rioted in all her quarters for
the last.”
m
After pointing; out the political as well as com
mercial advantages, which would result to Eng
land, from the liberation of the land which is
sanctified by th ememories of Kuskiusko and Sebeis
ki, the essayist indulges in a pungent stricture,
upon some of the ministerial abuses of his govern
ment, and concludes with the following forcible
remarks:
“The writer of this remembers when he
thought there was some blunder in the con
nection constantly maintained between the
cries fur political reform and bread. But
time has taught him better; hr has found on*
and penetrated, that the spirit of political cor
ruption is only another name for the love of
a neighbour’s goods, and that as the goods,
of a poor man are his children’s bread, it is
on this that the dishonestyof such always falls
The connection is as real and as intimate, as
the connection between the angle and versed
sine. The plot of the monopolist in all quar
ters is, that they shall live sumptuously upon
the bread of the poor ; and they think to get
over it, by giving two pence in the pound in
flannel petticoats. This is the truth; and
.because it is truth, it ought to be said in all
corners, sung in allthe highways, and painted
at the bottom of all vessels to honour or to
dishonoi, where itmay have a chance to catch
the eye and impress the mind.”
“ Of these most brisk and giddy-paced times.”

We shall make speedy arrangements

Cotton are limited, and the trade dull. The
general range of prices may be stated at 5$ a

vailing inactivity in that market, and quote

Extracts of Letters from Liverpool.
Feb. 18. —On Saturday last, the 12th iust.
we had some revival of demand for Cotton,
the sales made on that day being estimated
at 500 bags ; and prices firmer, but not en
hanced. The proposition, however, which
the Chancellor of the Exchequer has made
to Parliament, in his speech on the Budget to
lay a further duty of a penny per lb. on Cot
ton Wool, has created much excitement in
the market during the past two days: stiles
were made on Monday to the extent of about
4000 bags, at prices from jd to $d above the
previous current value; and yesterday about
2500 bags were sold at the advance of Jd. to
jd. generally on our quotations of the 31st
ult. Our import continues to be considerable,
more particularly from the United States, and
generally arriving, until two'lavs since, to a
very unprofitable market. The business in
the Manchester market continues tube very
good, the stocks of manufactured goods being
very light, while on Yarn* there is no accumu
lation of an extraordinary or inconvenient a
mount. The trade also are generally lightly
stocked with raw Cotton, and are only deter
red from weighty purchases by the preva
lence of a belief that the supply this year will
bdso large, as to forbid any expectation of ad
vance in price. The disputes which we have
previously mentioned, as existing betwixt the
operatives and their employers, at a consider
able number of mills, are now nearly adjust
ed ; the mills arc thrown open, and many of
them are at work, with every probability that
the rest will follow.
Feb. 19.—Our Cotton market has fluctua
ted this week, but the transactions have
amounted to 24,780 bales. In the early part
of the week considerable excitement prevailed
in our market, from the declared int ntionof
the Chancellor of the Exchequer to impose an
additional duty of Id. per lb. on Cotton, and
prices advanced id. per lb. subsequent alter
ations, however, in the financial plans of the
Chancellor, with the strong opposition to the
above named duty on Cotton, have led to the
belief, pretty generally, that the measure will
not he carried to the extent mentioned, and
this uncertainty has latterly caused a decline
of id. per lb. upon all sorts of American, and
id. a id. upon Brazils, but holders generally
are not anxious to sell at thts reduction.—*
About 2000 of the American were on specula
tion; and the import of the week is 18,560
bales—since the Ist ult. it amounts to 93,700,
against 88,100 in the same time last year.—
'1 lie salefi to-day arc 4000 bales, 2700 East
India, and 1000 West India are announced for
auction 25th instant.
Feh. 21.—We request your referreneeto
the annexed Circular, and have to add, that
since the date thereof, the demand for Cot
ton has become more iimjted and prices are
now only Jd. per lb. above the currency of
the 31st ult. The entire sales of last week
were 25,000 bags. It is now generally ex
pected that the duty on Cotton will be |d. per
-Ib. in lieu of the present existing charge, it is
therefore probable that our market will not
possess any immediate interest, as the ad
vance is already nearly equivalent to the pro
posed increase in. duty. This day the de
mand is fair, without any change.”
Feb. 21.—The demand for Cotton in the
early part of the week, in consequence of the
proposed additional duty, was animated and
extensive,and an advance of to |d. per
lb. was readily realized on the previous quo
tations; subsequently, however, there has
been less doing, and as there seems still some
uncertainty respecting the eventual adoption
of the proposition the advance established
does not. exceed j per lb. The transactions
comprise 180 Sea Island, at 11 sd. to 191.
with 70 Stained at 6d. to 9jd. 12,520 Bowed,
sd. to 7sd. 3930 Orleans, 6jd. to 3d. 2730
Alabama and Mobile, sjd. to 6jd. There
continues a good demand for Cotton. On
Saturday, 4000 bags were sold, and to-day
3000 at the previous prices.
Feb. 22.—Our friend Mr. , is at pres
ent in London, with a deputation of Mer
chants, and others, interested in the North
American Isanbcr trade, it being the intention
of our Government to advance the duties on
Colonial Lumber: As yet it is not known
what additional duty will be laid on United
StaJesCotton, but it is generally believed it
will be advanced to 10 per cent, in place of
6 percent, as before levied, that is on all for
eign Cotton. Wool imported—that from the
Colonies and the East Indies to remain as for
merly, say 4d. per cwt.
