G d be remembered,- that, while the dc l ing angel has blasted this late faif per- I "of our country, this city enjoys the bless r“ and prospects of increasing prosperity, r\ hoU(r h it has its reverses, was never in Condition more favorable to the exorcise of acts of bounty and benevolence than at this mO Se fears are entertained by many of a consolidation of our Government there is kind of consolidation that affords no Sind for apprehension. I mean the con v lijation of the sympathies and the affections ‘7owl citizens— of the sense ef common lagers—of sensibility to mutual sufferings —and of dispositions to mutual aid in the sea „of the calamity, whether arising from causes domestic or foreign. This is the consolidation which we all may endeavour to render one and indivisible, and which will prove a cement to the unin of our country, calculated to allay all other fears for its con tinuance. Let us then improve this occasion as one furnished by Providence to the peo ple not onlv of this city, but of this section of our country, of manifesting a unity of spi ritaiid feeling with them in whatever affects their happiness or safety, which no difference opinion upon points of policy is permitted to impair —and, as the liberality or policy rfdespotism has raised Moscow from its ruins, 50 may we show that the energy of republi can sympathy can raise from its present prostration this interesting town, and re store hope, and peace, and comfort, to its widows and orphans.

We need not tell you, Sir, who Mr. Lumpkin Is. It is well known to the people of Georgia, that previous to the rupture between the President and Mr. Calhoun, that Mr. L. refused the solici tations of one or two of his clamorous partizans,to desert his post in Congress, and become a candi date for the chief magistracy of our State. His refusal was based upon the plea, that a crisis had arrived in the Administration of the General Gov ernment, which required the undivided support of every true hearted republican. He therefore determined to breast the contest by retaining his seat in Congress, where, he intimated to us, he could he more effectually employed in resisting the war which was waging against Southern feel ’ ing and Southern interest, than by agitating our State in becoming the leader of a restless faction. Such a course, at that time, elicited our admira tion. But, .mark the sequel! No sooner had Mr. Calhoun opened his masked battery against President Jackson, and presented an opposition more formidable than any he has yet had to en counter, than, wonderful to tell, we see Mr. Lumpkin’s sensitive regard for Southern rights 'all at once evaporating into “ thin air” and find him acceding to the overwhelmning wishes of his friends, f the Editors of the MUledgeville Union and Augusta Chronicle,) to become a candidate for the Executive Chair. Here, Sir, you will perceive, is indubitable ev idence of the shameful tergiversation of this po litical charlatan. In the first place he promptly refused the invitation of his cat.calls to canvass the gubernatorial election, when the General Ad ministration was floating upon the full “tide of successful experiment.” A desertion then, of the distinguished personage who wields the des tiny of our Republic, would not only have been inconsequent as to any ulterior opposition, but it would have been the immediate signal for the sacrifice of the daring apostate. This Mr. Lumpkin well knew. But, as soon as Mr. Cal houn raised the standard of rebellion, and ere he was followed by Bohadil Ingham, and bis delu ded compatriots, the scales fell from the eyes of Mr. L., and by a patriotic intuition lie discovered that his services were no longer necessary to the support of a Government, which had become temporarily weakened by the desertion of its pre tended friends. If there can be any posture in. which a public man can place himself that dis plays more duplicity than this,or which evidences a more treacherous disregard of the confidence which has been reposed in him by a deluded but honest people, we look for it in vain. The history of our State, heretofore, furnishes no such example—no such blot upon her civic es cutcheon. Were we uncharitable enough, we would say, that an exhibition like this, not only argues a political, but a moral depravity of heart of the most serious character. At least it is an at titude which no man of common sense would as sume, who regards his private or official reputa tion. The coward may urge constitutional im becility as a justification for the desertion of his colors —but there is no absolution for the traitor who renounces his loyalty to principle. Now, Sir, a little reflection will convince you of the ambidextrous game which Mr. Lumpkin has been playing. He had sold his fealty to Mr. Calhoun, even at the time when he was lauding Jackson to the skies. But the time had not come for Mr. L, to act. The signal rocket was Mr. Calhoun’s defection —when that was seen sparkling in the skies, alas, for the patriotism of the age! the qualms which so lately disturbed the former gentleman’s political con science, ceased to operate. There was now—ac cording to his calculation by the doctrine of chan ces, no tie to bind him to the Administration —and deserting it, when it most needed support, he comes back to Georgia to insult the people by offering to govern them as the parasite of that po litical weathercock —we mean JohnC. Calhoun. The name of this inan.Sir, moves us from our or dinary composure, and has arrested in some de gree, the main object of this address. But you will bear with us —andnow to the point.* Asa candidate for popular favor, you are, Sir, engaged in a canvass which must enlist all your honorable feelings. You have thus far sustain ed your pretensions with a spirit and imlepend- ence consonant with your uniform character. — Yon occupy a high station in the rank of your par ty —but, excuse us Sir, when we say, that you are not entitled by experience or services to a distinction as elevated as the one which is now enjoyed by ydur talented compatriot. Do not think, that we wish to make an inviduous dis tinction.—No Sir. Recause it is by no derogatory to your reputation to have it under stood that you act a secondary part to the “Lord of the Ascendant.” It is this conspicuous stand, however, which you occupy, as a member of the State Rights Party, which has induced our polit ical adversaries to incense you against Governor Gilmer —for they well know, if they can succeed in inducing you to canvass the election to an is sue, that the weight which you will carry in a division of the party, would in all probability se cure the election of Mr. Lumpkin. This is the point, Sir, upon which we would fix your most serious attention. Having been longer—and more actively and prominently en-' gaged in the public service; Mr. Gilmer lias se cured to himself a share of popularity (which will rally around him a majority of our party. It is this important consideration, which irrcsistably impels us to advocate his re-election, and to dep recate an opposition which might prove fatal to the democracy of Georgia. V\ e know the enthu siasm of your feelings—we know your devotion to principle. But, reflect Sir, seriously reflect, upon the ingenious manoeuvres of our adversa ries; and we flatter ourself you will not hazard the safety of our party by a fruitless opposition —an opposition which, if persisted in, may probably not’only throw us back two years, in sustaining the character, which we now enjoy, of a Sovereign State—n character to which you have contributed largely-but leave us completely at the mercy ofa potty 4 combination ol small mi norities.” We have addressed you, Sir, for the good of our common party, and in the sincerity of our heart. Do not weaken, we beseech you, the bonds winch bind us together—but postpone uu til a more auspicious period your merited claims to public attention. It will detract nothing from your patriotism. On the contrary, it will ad vance J'on in the estimation of all good and re flecting men, and ultimately secure, permanently to the State, a patriotic,, an enlightened and a re publican Administration. From the East. The following remarks which we extract from the Correspondence of the “Rural Cabinet,” contain a good deal of sound sense and biting satire. Mr.*Luinpkin’s friends appear to be do serting him in “his greatest need— “lt is a pity that Haynes and Gilmer will not come to some understanding and one of them resign. Ido not believe that either of them can be elected if both continue to offer, I would vote (should L vote at all and that is doiibtful)for either in preference to Lumpkin, and from me, a Clark man from my youth upwards, such an opinion must sound strange in vour ears. It is true, Lumpkin is the fa vorite supported by the Clark Party, but it makes him less worthy in my estimation than! otherwise, because lie originally belonged to j their opponents ; why he has left their ranks —upon what principle he has deserted their colors, is still a secret which he keeps to him self—if, indeed, he has any beside his wan ting an office offered him by the suffrages of his ancient and original opponents. A polit ical apostate,l despise. If the personal friends of Lumpkin had been true to their professions they would have told him a different tale. No man can expect to stand fully and fairly in the confidence of a party to whom he has once been in opposition; he may be distinguish ed—but never trusted. If he should be elec ted, mark the end of it. If he wavers for a moment in any decision, the principle of which is on this or that side of the line drawn by the Belligerents ; that moment you may date the downfal of Lumpkin. But perish politics of the present period. There are not more than two ‘true men’ extant and one of them is fat, all the rest are leather and pru nella. Place and principles have become articles of merchandize, things of‘bargain and sale,’ and an honest (jolitician is as great a curiosity as a Unicorn arid Griffin would be. If this system of barter continues, the next generation will speculate finely on political honesty, and opr surprise, could we look down (or up) and see and hear would, or ought not to be, very great if within seventy or one hundred years, we hoar of such tilings as the exhibition of a live Patriot—Let us fancy the adxertioement, in the case, on the same scale as the shower-off of w ild and scarce animals. We will supposed it headed with “GREAT NATURAL CURIOSITY.” ‘Will be exhibited, during the next week, for the inspection of the curious, a Real Live i Patriot, supposed to belong to the same spe cies as those mentioned in History, in the last century. This has been the only one seen for a great number of years past, and entirely refutes the opinion, more than once pronounced, of of the entire extinction of that race between the years of 1830 and 40. : ts appearance is at once Noble and Comman ding, but we fear its nature is untameable. N. B. It is not one of those animals which show to advantage during its feeding hours, therefore the history*of the times, in which they were said to be plenty, must be errone ons. To guard against accidents, it will be gagg’d during the exhibition.” From Use West. Our accounts from this quarter arc flattering, and augur well for the triumph of piineiple. The last Columbus Enquirer , says: “Mr. Gilmer's success is becoming every day more certain. There is no doubt that he will succeed over Mr. Lumpkin by a large majority. We believe that the hopes which Mr. Lumpkin’s friends some times since en tertained of his success, are nearly extinct Many who voted for him as a member of Con gress, under the belief that he was willing *to sacrifice party feeling to public good, and that he had discarded many of his pernicious doctrines of the party to which he had be longed, are now satisfied that his professions of patriotism were only things of course— they have found that his convictions of the necessity of burying party animosity, and uni ting our strength in the promotion of our uni ted interests, ceased to exist as soon as he was brought to believe that his individual in terest might be advanced by permitting him self to be made the instrument by which par ty stri 'e might be engendered—they have found that our neighbor of the Democrat was in the right when he said that he is a slippe ry fellow, and never stands in one place long enough for you to find out what colour he is of. There is something too suspicious in the fact that he numbers among his w arm sup porters all the Clay men and Tariff and Inter nal improvement men in the country. Some times since all these men were desperately out with him, because he had deserted the true, faith. How has he managed to recon cile them so as to induce them not only to forgive him for this defection but to put him up for Governor in preference to any other man of their party? They have others who are consistent, who have never deviated from the faith, who would be w illing to “sell a State” and support the Tariff-—Why not put up sonic of them? Depend udon it, there is something suspicious about this thing—Mr. Lumpkin is a very suspicious man—lie has tried many tricks and has succeeded pretty well, but the people begin to recollect an old fable they have read at school about the cat that rolled himself in the meal tub—and when they hear of Mr. Lumpkin’s patriotism now, they begin to think “it may bo meal, but something whispers there is mischief un der it.” From the Journal. . TO THE TROUP PARTY. Honored and belorcd associates. Three years have passed away since last I expostulated \vith you—three years of anxi ous solicitude to me ; for I have seen that my admonitioift, however, regarded for a mo ment, have been as the sown by the way. side among thorns- —You have fallen asleep on your posts—and the Philistines are upon you. Yet Ido not despair of you. Awake I and shake ofTyonr lethargy. The battle may I vet be won, the Victory may yet be your?. Have you not seen the efforts of your ene mies to destroy you ? Can you forget how, while they were crying obliv ion for the past, and peace for the future, they were fomenting strife among yourselves ? Have you not heard their cry of office, office—why not share it with us—are we not brothers ? And have you not seen, that when admitted to a parti cipation of it,-they have seipent like stung the hand that bestowed it; and used the influ ence it gave tlieni to drive you from all otlice, and put themselves in your place l Have you not witnessed their attempts to brand your leader and yourselves, as disunioniets, seeking to sever the bonds that binds us to gether as one people, and scatter desolation and bloodshed over the land ? Can yon qui etly submit to the unfounded imputation ! Have you not witnessed their attempt tocom promit the state, by the adoption of their reso lutions on the tariif no longer ago than last winter, after your solemn protest had been laid before the Senate ? Know ye not that neither youf mountains nor your fens nourish ft more deadjyfooto human life than their principles are to your principles? Have you ssen ami heard and known all this—aim can ijtyji patiently yield the sceptre to them ? Will you permit private feuds among your selves to divert your attention from the great purpose of handing down your principles,and name, as a party, to your posterity untarnished by defeat ? Can you forget how we toiler to gether in 1825? Will you not remember how we rallied at the watchford “ Troup and the Treaty ”? Has the charm of these magic words been dissolved forever l Have they new no music to our ears ? Does the glory of that auspicious day shine less brightly on your vision now, than in by-gone times? Ne ver confess it. For shame—never let it be said af you that you had the resolution to win power, but lacked the energy to keep it. Ne ver let your sons say that their sires, enerva ted by sloth, severed by personal bickerings, indifierent to their own fame and reckless of their principles, suffered themselves to be surprised by their enemies, stripped of their armor, and led into captivity. Surely there is yet manliness enough among you to avert so shameful a catastrophe. If you regard my admonitions it will not happen. Rather than witness it let thick darkness fall upon me, and hide me forever fjom the black disgrace that must otherwise be the lot of a party to which I was proud to be attached. Let ine adjure you then, once more, by all j the glorious recollections of the past, by all the bright anticipations of the future, to bury in oblivion’s deepest abyss, every private feud, every irritated feeling, every inordinate wish. Yield every thing, save honor and ho nesty, to the prosperity of your party, and the triumph of your principles. Your coun try asks it of you. The times call for the strictest union among you. The Republic is verging rapidly to consolidation. It can be saved only bv the universal prevalence of the principles on which your Troup acted. They are safe in the hands of Gilmer. Let tliose principles once be vannuiibed in Gilmer's defeat, and let the principles of your enemies prevail, and be put into practice ; and you. may raise the cry of lamentation.—How are the mighty fallen. How are the lovely places made desolate. The beauty of Israel is slain upon the high places. How are the mighty fallen and the weapons of war perish ed. But your lamentation will be vain— Rouse ye then to action. Shake off your leth argy. Let every man who triumphed with us at Austerlitz.be with us a’so at Jena. The battle will then be won. The victory will be ours. BURKE. . Communirations. Kor the Advertiser. To the People of Bibb County. Your situation, in some respects, is enviable. In point of location, you are in the centre of the State, and at the door of commerce. Such advan tages usually promote intelligence and patriotism. With these high gifts should come a free, inde pendent spirit. That dignified quality always manifests itself by independence oi action, especi ally in the choice of rulers. An enlightened and free people will listen to, and read with attention all fair political discussion, that may tend to the elucidation of correct principles, or the exhibi tion of the merits of the Candidates who may of fer tp serve them: but, they will frown indig nantly upon, and scorn all personal, begging ap plication, to induce them to degrade their right of suffrage by the surrender of their votes to personal or party aggrandizement. I appeal to you, fel low citizens of Bibb county!, ana ask you,wheth er such attempts have not been made ! Whether a certain Ex-Senator, Ex-Judge, and others of the same party, ha ve not been personally appeal ing to independent citizens, meanly soliciting their votes for Bartlett and Griffin, and falsely charging the opposing candidates arid party with nullification and disunion? If they have, do ask them whore they were when the Hartford Con vention was plotting the dissolution of the Union? when the Northern Militia refused to cross the line jjjß-when the Indian savages were tomahawk ing and scalping our women and children?—when the Capital of the Union was wrapped in flames, and when our sea-coast was drenched in blood, by Rape, Rapine and Murder ? Ask them these questions, and if they d? not answer yon, and an swer you truly too, their retiring modesty may be relieved by a public exhibition of the facts. Is it decent—is it honest —for men, aspiring to political consequence, to make beggarly appeals tothepublic? lias it come to this, that our Rep resentatives, after serving uS without effecting the passage of one solitary law or measure, pro motive of the public good—after becoming laugh ing stocks at Milledgevilleand Merry Andrews at lionje—l say, after such wonderful displays of talent & patriotism, has i\come to this, that these men, should now, sofar insult common sense and common delicacy, as to DICTATE to us who shall be /Aerrsvtccessors in office? Yes, fellow citizens, this is their aim. You elected them— they returned without beingable to show one good deed —and now, they have the presumptuous in solence to expect that you, good easy Sirs, will permit them to say, who shall be your Represent atives in Urn next Legislature, and tha- you should, in "all things bow obsequious to their Jack Cade honours. Shame! shame! where is thy blush? What are the qualifications of Baber wnd H*i/r? and what are those of Bartlett, Griflin and Groce? These, fellow-voters, are plain questions, Which your own good sense can solve, without the kind aid of Esquire Ross, or Judge McDonald. These arc the men who seem desirous to palm upon you a succession, am! thereby introduce the hereditary principle of office into our free government. Are you not, freemen of Bibb county, as well acquain ted with the Candidates as they are ? and, are you irbt as able to dootdefor they are to decide fo yon ? Surely you are. Act,then like free agents Spurn alike the sycophant and j demagogue l Do this, and then march to the I polls in October next,, with the firm steps and un j biassed judgments of freemen, and your choice will be as judicious as your conduct will be noble and independent. VOTER. Miff this morning's nut if. FOREIGN. We received by to-day’s mail additional ad vices brought by the packet ship Sheffield, arrived at New' York The most interesting item is a paragraph in the London Courier, which announ ces the adjustmentof our claims on France for spo liations on our commerce committed under the Berlin and Milan decrees. These claims have re mained unsettled for about twenty years. The wisdom and energy of President Jackson, have finally brought the protracted negotiation Unjust and specific issue. The French Government has agreed to pay as an indemnity to the citizens of the IT. States, 25,tW)0,000 francs, exactly one million sterling. This, no doubt, the opposition will array against the government as additional evidence of its inefficiency at home, and its want of influence abroad. If they do, we shall not blame them for it; for, like Falstaff, they are “la boring in their vocation.” Augusta, August 20. Extract of a Letter, received in this city,dated Liverpool, 7th July 1831. For tiie last six weeks our Cotton market has continued to be much depressed ; and although the imports do notvary materially from tliose of the preceding year ; and the consumption, as it regards spinning and manufacturing, is not less than it was ; yet from the low and unprofitable prices that can be realized by Yarns for expor tation, the holders of Cotton have been compel led to lower prices, short-stapled Cottons having further declined Id, and Nea Island 2d per lb. Last week the Bill was brought into Parliament to increase the Duty on Cotton to 5s lOd perewt. & as it is expected to take effect immediately, our market has this week assumed a more steady ap pearance, and the sales are at an advance of |d per lb : but even with the benefit of the lower rate of duty, we are sorry to observe that sales cannot yet be effected without subjecting die im porters to loss. The sales of Cotton in the last weeks average-14,880 bags per week, and in the :ast amounted to 15,690 of which 4640 were Up lands of very ordinary to fair quality at 4 j tosjd; and good fair to good at 6d to 6J and. very prime (which are very scarce) command 6Jd to 7d; 2470 Alabama and Mobile, ot very middling to good quality, at 5d to 6Jd; 3000 Louisiana and Mississippi, of ordinary to fair quality, at sid to 6Jd, and to 7£d for good fair to good ; 1529 Sea Island, by public auction, at to for inferior to fine, Sec. &c. The exports of Cotton this year have been 35,. 438 bags, and to the same period in the last they were 11,365. Tile demand for some descriptions of Cotton Goods, is less extensive than .it was, and the prices are a little lower; but upon the whole this branch of the manufacture may he con sidered to be in a vigorous state; and although the profits may be small, the consumption is con tinued upon an undiminished scale. There ha3 lately been more demand for Cotton Twist for exportation, but at lower prices than the spinners can afford to make it for, and with many of them, it has for some time been a matter of calculation, w hether they should go on spinning to a loss, or stop their machinery, which also is attended with loss, as well as considerable by the disper sion or their laoourftrs; out up to me present time they have, with few exceptions, gone oh with their mills, hoping for better times. The Cotton ton trade, as far as the home market is concern ed, is in a prosperous state, and is likely to con tinue so; but the existing circumstances are less favourable to a continued large trade. In this port the stocks of produce of all kinds are unusually large, and the holders are generally un der large advances upon it, which would make it j inconvenient for most to receive, and hold further ■ supplies to any extent. Compared with the con sumption, the crop of Cotton in Europe is but a a moderate one, and our prices are also, we think lower than they ought to be"; but unless a great deal of the last crop is kept in the United States until the end of the year, we shall have but slen der hopes of improvement. If the present prices are so low, that the planters cannot afford to grow Cotton to iaeet them, the way of remedying the evil is to produce less of it, and until the prices in Europe become higher, our advice to those who buy it for shipment is, lb let it alone, unless the prices in the U. 8. become lower than they have yet been.— Chronicle, Wanted, 2000 BUSHELS CORN, delivered at the Subscribers Mills, for which cash will be paid.
