•i jfjula}, April 10, 1831. 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 .1 papers is solicited. We here take occasion to f iake our acknowledgments to the fraternity tor tuc manifestations of their kindness and friendship. Paper# From tire solicitations of rorny friends and pa trons, we have been prevailed on to issue this pa ; r twice a week. Such a determination is cer • inly one of choice, but whether it is our inter t, 'will mainly depend on the futuro inmifosta us of the public, and more pirticul: i!y the citi -113 of this place; for whose benefit and accom- V :udation it has been commence!. It necessarily . encases Ihe expense, and also Multiplies sur la rs and energy: yet, we will cteerfully devote 1 r entire time to the “honest pijposes of an ho • ’St calling,” if, besides a mo.erate pecuniary msideration, we shall have blared for the gra • matron, and with the approbation of our readers. l ’Tis not in mortals to comma>4 success, • But we will do more —we’ll* 1 ndearor “ to deserve it.” The fust number of “ The .t.con Advertiser l Intel! : geneer\ ” has been sent e some of our 1 friends and acquaintances, will the hope that < may be their pleasure to patroize it: should j • y wish it to be continued, tin v, ill have u- ( of tji'-ix de terminal:': n.

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.” CENSUS oFlß3th This statement is made from the returns pub lished in the newspapers on the authority of the Marshals of the United States in the States and Territories.

The Trustees of the University of this State, have recently held a meeting, at which the letting of the contract for building anew col lege edifice was given to Mr. John Crane, formerly of this place, and the builder of the beautiful Masonic Hall in Augusta. The con tract is for 812,000, and the building to be completed by the 25th December next. A large and respectable meeting of many citizens of Philadelphia, has lately been held, favorable to Mr. Clay, at which he was nomi nated for the Presidency. M. M. Noah long known for his editorial talents has again become attached to the New York Enquirer. The editorial fraternity, and the public, will hail his return. “ Free Trade and Sailors’ Rights.” We shall make speedy arrangements for presenting our mercantile friends, both 'at home and abroad, with such general views of the state of the market, as, We flatter our self, will prove interesting to them. At pre sent, we can only say, that our transactions in Cotton are limited, and the trade dull. The general range of prices may be stated at 5$ a 8. .\. The last Savannah Remarks notice a pre. vailing inactivity in that market, and quote Uplands at 7 to OJ. 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.
