Palmer, from Liverpool, we have received our regu lar London files to the 15th ultima, aiu, Li verpool papers of the lGtn. VNe are also indebted to Capt. Palmer ioi papers O; the latest dale. Tfie Liverpool cotton market remains without material change. Money continues abundant, and for com mercial “purposes could be obtained at front 2 1-2 to 8 1-2 per cent. The continuance of favorable weather, and the more promising prospects of the harvest, had materially im proved the appearance of the funds, and pro duced a better feeling in the market. The Canada Indemnity bill was read a third time in trie House of Lords on the lflth; and was ordered to a third reading on the 14th, in the House of Commons. A correspon ler.ee ha 1 taken place, which will he found, between Mr. O Connell and Mr. Stevenson, in reference to certain offen sive expressions alleged to have been used by the former gentleman, touching the slave holding relations of the American minister. London, August 15. THE AMERICAN MINISTER AND MR. O’CONNELL. 23 Portland Plata;, August 9. Sir: My attention has been called to the publication, in (lie l ist Spectator, of a speech which purports to have been delivered by you at a public meeting in Birmingham, in which you are reported to have used the fol lowing language in relation to myself: ‘ I believe their very ambassador here is a slave-breeder,onejof those beings who rear up slaves for the purpose of traffic. Is it possi ble that America would send here a man who traffics in blood, and who is a disgrace to human nature V I desire to know from you whether this is a correct report of what you said on (hat oc casion, and with that view address to you this communication. I am, sir, Very respectfully, Your obedient, servant, A. STEVENSON. To Daniel O’Connell, Esq. &,o. 16 Pall Mall, Aug % 10. Sir: In consequence of your letter of yes terday’s .date, I examined the report of mv speech at Birmingham, in the Spectator of tlie 4th inst. and have no hesitation in say ing, that the paragraph you have selected is not a correct report of what I said on that occasion. The very next sentence, docs, to my mind, show that the report could not he correct, and having examined another report since, as well as from distinct recollection, I repeat, that the report is not correct. I have the honor to be, sir, Your very ob’l servant, DANIEL O’CONNELL. To A. Stevenson, Esq. 23 Portland Place, Aug. 11. Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of last evening, in an swer to the one from myself of the preceding day. Presuming that you intended your reply as a disavowal of the offensive expressions con tained in tint part of your reported speech which had allusion to myself, and to which your attention was called, I am satisfied with the answer you have given. As an incorrect report of your speech has been made public through the press, I beg to inform you that I deem it due to myself that the correspondence which lias taken place should also be published. I am, sir, Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, A. STEVENSON. To Daniel O'Connell, Esq. &c. London, Aug. 14. In the House of Lords last night, several bills received the Royal assent by commis sion, after which Lord Brougham moved the third reading of the Canada Government Declaratory bill. Lord Denman made a manly and constitutional speech, in which, while he deprecated the grant of an indemni ty to those who violate the law, and so far opposed the bill, he fully admitted ‘ the enor mous extent’ to which Lord Durham had ex ercised the powers entrusted to him. The bill was passed. Lord Brougham afterwards presented a petition (similar to one presented by M\ Leader in the Commons,) from the Honora ble Leicester Stanhope, as chairman of the committee, complaining that a statue by Thorwaldsen, subscribed for fifteen years ago by persons of distinction belonging to all par ties, to perpetuate the memory of Lord By ron, had been refused admission into West minster Abbey, in consequence of the impro per intervention et the Dean. It was beyond all doubt tbe greatest work ol that great mas ter, vet it had been lying now for a period of nearly fifteen years unpacked in tbe custom house. The reason was, that an application which had been made in the usual form to the Dean of Westminster (Dr. Ireland) for its admission inlo the sacred edifice, where the ashes of the illustrious dead reposed, had been refused bv that Reverend person. This refusal was understood to he ground ed upon a belief in slanders respecting Lord Byron’s religious opinions. Now, he (Lord Brougham) believed Lord Byron’s most inti mate friends did not know what his opinions were, or whether they were orthodox or not. The petitioners prayed, that, in consequence of the refusal of the Dean of Westminster to admit a statue which was said to be the finest work of that great, sculptor, the House would take steps to induce the temporary keeper of a national edifice to admit the statues of the illustrious dead. The Canada bill was brought up in the Commons, on a message from the Lords, and after a short discussion, in which Lord T. Russell, Mr. Leader, Lord Stanley, and Sir G. Grey took part, the bill was read a first and second time, and ordered to a third read ing on tbe following dav. Mr. Leader moved that an humble address! be presented to her Majesty, praying that her Majesty would be graciously pleased to direct that there be laid before this house a ‘Return of the names of persons who have been convicted in Upper Canada of treason, misprision of treason, or felony, since the Ist of October, 1837 ; the value of the persona! property, the number cf acres of real estate, the value of the houses, buildings, and l ands, if any, belonging to such persons, forfeited m tbs Crown ; the grants and sales, if any, ot such forfeited property and estates; the names of the purchasers and grantees of such property and estates, and the value of the personal and real estates, so forfeited, retain ed by the Crown; and the amount or value of real an 1 personal estate, if any, tint has been granted by the Crown to the widows children, and relatives of such persons, and! the names of such grantees. 5 MARKETS. Liverpool. August 15. ] Cotton. —The market since Friday last, has been more quiet, hut without effecting prices, which remain steady, and the advance of 1 Sd noticed as having been obtained on American descriptions, under lair, during the past week, is still sustained. The sales on Saturday were 3 000 biles, on Monday 2,500 bales, an 1 yesterday 2.000 bales, chief lv American descriptions, were sold, with a very quiet market. The sun? of $12,500 Ins been realised bv the First Municipality of New Orleans, from the letting of o.ster stands on the levee. From the Bdy State Democrat. , The panic is over; the greatest, the most widely concerted, and the most profligate in our history. Its authors have paid an invo luntary tribute to the truth of Lite Democratic principle ; they have unconsciously confessed that the love of order is one of the strongest instincts of humanity. Despairing of gain ing power from the tranquil preference of the people, they have sought to gain it by in creasing confusion, in the vain hope that the people would not find resources in their own energy, but would throw themselves in des pair into the arms of the very men who were tne authors of the public sufferings. The panic is over; and the people of the United States are none the less strongly de voted to the cause which is their own—to the cause of Democracy. True, there have been great agitations, and opinions have vibrated to and fro with strange rapidity. But the hand of a child may so shake the” compass as to affect the motions of the needle, while the magnetic poles are fixed eternally in the earth by the infinite power of God. just so has it been with regard to the public opinion of the country. The angry efforts of unprincipled politicians have caused alternations and con flicts; but the love of truth and freedom is deeply planted in the soul of the nation, and the might of genera! laws triumphs promptly, easily, and always, over the transient jarrings and influence of evanescent passions. The panic is over, and no National Bank has been established. The whole effort and evil has defeated itself! The selfishness which was willing to incur even tfie risks of commercial ruin in its eager graspings after dominion, has been able only to punish itself. It has swept over the mercantile community, scattering dismay and ruin ; it lias not been able to wrest tloe nation out of the track of freedom, marked out for it by Providence; it has not been able to affect a retrogade move ment ; it, lias not succeeded in changing the tendencies of national legislation. The panic is over ; and with the tranquil ity of returning reason, the banks have been compelled to return to specie payments. — Such is the achievement of moral truth, sus tained by the firmness of the Executive. What Madison failed to accomplish, Van Buren has succeeded in. Where Madison yielded and granted a National Bank, Van Buren has stood firm and refused. Where Madison, harrassed by anxieties and sur rounded by difficulties, consented to receive an irredeemable currency, Van Buren, under more favorable circumstances, has been sus tained in his own inflexible integrity ; and the banks, failing to triumph over his firm ness, have been compelled to yield to his policy. Such is the power of moral principle, inflexibly asserted. The blessing of heaven attends an honest purpose; and here again faith in the intelligence and virtue of the people, meets with its just reward in its un exampled success. ‘Fhe bearing of the Pre sident of (lie United States, during the frenzy of the moneyed interest, will ever continue to win admiration ; and the result will never be forgotten, for it is without a parallel in the history of any nation on earth. The nanic is over; and not only have the whigs failed to force upon the government an irredeemable currency, not only have they’ failed to get a National Bank, not only have they failed to win popular confidence, they have not yet succeeded in getting a set of principles on which they can rally. They have not yet agreed what flag to hoist, under what doctrines to gather. The letter of Mr. Legare of South Carolina, is directly at vari ance with Mr. Webster’s speeches. The Whig party is floating about in the uncer tainly of what haven they are to steer for : by what rules they are to be guided. Here, in Boston, the Daily Advertiser is too honest to sustain the policy of Mr. Clay; the New York American has been constantly at war with the whig presses of Philadelphia ; and it is a notorious fact, that the whigs come out of the panic as they went into if, ‘ without one honest common principle to bind them together.’ The panic is over; and the whigs have not yet been able to agree on a candidate for the Presidency. Such is the doom of selfish ness, such is the natural justice, by which Heaven always defeats the purposes of the enemies to freedom. Fie puts confusion into their counsels; jealousies grow up in their breasts; and the lofty spirit of self denying patriotism, the spirit of union and harmony growing out of the preference of truth and right to personal aggrandizement, never in spire their hearts with the energies that pro mise victory. It is on their part a strife for spoils, an anxious effort after power and place; and Southern whigs, Northern whigs, Harrison men, Clay men, and Webster men, can never meet in that spirit of faith in great principles, and of patristic self-denial, without which a community of action is impossible. On the other hand, even in the midst of the panic, the democratic party has succeed ed in all its essential purposes. It, has pre vented the establishment of a National Bank ; bv its unbending firmness it has compelled the return of the banks to specie payments; it has saved the government from a base subjection to the moneyed interest; it has protected the honest merchant against the fraudulent speculator; it has sustained the yeoman and the real emigrant against the monopolist of lands; it has nursed our do mestic manufactures against the policy of excessive importations from abroad. CHATHAM COUNTY MEETING. At a meeting of the Union and State flights party of Chatham county, arid those op posed to a Bank of the United States, and in favor of sustaining the Administration in the etliirt to separate the Government and Banks, held in the long room of the Exchange, in Savannah, on Monday eve ning, 24th September, Adam Cope, Esq. was called to the Chair, and Fred’k. A. Tipper, appointed Secretary The following resolution was submitted by M. H. McAllister, Esq. seconded by Mr. L. Scranton, and adopted : Resolved, That a committee of thirteen, of whom the chairman shall be one, be appoint ed by the chair, whose otity it shall be to no minate a ticket fur the next Legislature, to be supported by the Union and Slate Rights party of Chatham county, and that said com mittee report their nomination, and the ac ceptance of rhe nominees, at a meeting to he held at this price to-morrow evening. The chairman (time having been allowed for that purpose,) appointed the same eve ning, the following gentlemen to compose the committee:—Adam Cope, Thomas Purse, George Shick, M. Myers, Isaac Ilussel, 11. M. Goodwin, Dr. R. D. Arnold, L. Scranton, R. A. Lewis. Isaac De Lyon, Fred’k. Dens !er, M. Dillon, and Jacob Schaffer. The following resolutions were then offered by Isaac Russel, Esq. seconded by Mr. Geo. Shick, and adopted:— Resolved , That this meeting most cordially approve of the administration of Martin A an Buren, and that his recommendation of es tablishing a Treasury of the United States, where the fiscal concerns of the government can be managed by officers appointed by the people, and subject to their control, is clearly and expressly indicated by the constitution. Resolved, That we consider the depositing the people’s money in the vaults of hanks, and loaning the same to the customers ofj sneo institutions, is a direct violation ot’ the constitution, which declares, ‘ No money shall be drawn from the treasury but by appropri ations made by law;’ that to collect money j Irom one portion ol the people, to he placed in hanks, and loaned out to others, who have] no snare in its production, is manifest inius-j tice. | Resolved, That an independent treasury, and the separation of its affairs from all con-! nexion with banks, meets our entire appro-1 bation. Resolved, That we view such an institution as a United Slates Bank, as an abomination— ; a monster calculated only to destroy the de- I mocracy of the country, and to build on its i ruins aristocracy and monarchy. From the South Carolinian. INDEPENDENT TREASURY—FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE. There is a habit of assertion, with some ‘ men, who don’t know what they are talking ! about, that the public money will not be safe in the hands of public officers. A few facts will show which have been most faithful de- j positories, the collectors, or the banks. Since 1 1739 the immense sum of (§1,053,000,000,) ten hundred and fifty-three millions of dol lars, have gone through the hands and con-; tro! of the public collectors and land receivers, i During the 49 years embraced in this ealeu- j lation, the whole loss, by these individual col-’ lectors and receivers, is computed at about! §1,000,000, or one-tenth of one per cent.— | Erom ISI7 to 1834, the amount of the public i revenue deposited in the banks, was about $350,000,000, or a little mo'c than one-third of what had gone through the hands of the collectors and receivers. Upon this, the loss, in 17 years, has been 81,254,424, or three eighths of one per cent, —besides which,! there is about $10,090,000 of government money due by the deposite banks, on depos ites of government and its disbursing officers, which Was not finally secured at the last Treasury reports. At New York, about $357,000,000 have been received by the collectors, and only $21,700 lost by defaulters—being about six cents every SI,OOO, or about one-sixtieth of what was lost on $350,000,000 deposited in the banks in 17 years. In the mint, about $73,000,000 have been coined, and not one cent lost by a defaulter. These things have happened under the old Treasury organization, which was not guard ed so carefully as the Independent Treasury would have been, if the bankites had not de feated it. That bill provided that larger bonds should be given by public officers, and that if one of them used, lent, or permitted the public money to be used, while in his charge, he should be indicted as a felon, and fined and imprisoned. Now, can you punish a bank, and make it honest ? If it uses your money, can you imprison it, and fine it?— Can you disgrace it, by making it a felon ? ONE OF THE PEOPLE. Specie. —Considerable arrivals of specie for our Banks have taken place within a few days, and other amounts are near at hand, and will be received in the course of a week. Specie funds are also provided to a large amount in New York, which can either be converted into specie, or he used for purpo ses of Exchange. Os the specie received, or near at hand, the Darien Bank has $40,000, the Ocmulgee Bank $30,000, the Branch State Bank $60,000, the Monroe Rail Road Bank $23,000. The exact amount received by the other Banks we have not understood; but all are well provided against the opening of the fall business, to afford their aid in the purchase of the country produce. All our banks, it will be recollected, were in good condition at the time of tlu-ir last reports, and the amounts now received are in addition to what they then had in their vaults. It is proper to remark, that on an examination of the condition of the banks throughout the country, few, if any, present as solvent a condition as those of Georgia. The Branch Insurance Bank of Columbus in this city, has about twenty-seven dollars in specie to one in circulation. The Bank of Hawkinsville has also lately received about $40,000 in specie. The fall business lias opened with a pros pect of fair prices fir cotton, which will pro bably continue, should the banks be able to afford the means necessary for its purchase; but should they be drawn upon for specie, (except what may be necessary for purposes of change,) by those who sell it, in the early part of the season! discounts must necessarily stop, and the prices be greatly reduced, if not an almost entire suspension of purchases. These are facts which it becomes our plant ers, and all others interested, to take into consideration. Exchange on New York at our Banks, is now two per rent. — Macon Messenger. Southern Money Affairs. —The New York Journal of Commerce says: Letters from Gen. Hamilton in England, say that his offers of 5 per cent. South Carolina stocks at 95 (to rebuild Charleston) has been accepted as soon as made. He had disposed ol a million of dollars at that rate, and would return in ihe Great Western. Anegociation has been made here, by which a bank in Alabama has been authorized to draw on one of the banks in Wall street., at sight, for $1,500,000. — Southern funds are in demand. Georgia is taken to any extent at 1 1-2 discount, and Charleston at 1 discount. PRINTERS’ BILLS IN PARTICULAR DUNS IN GENERAL. There is certainly embedded somewhere in human nature, a principle which leads men to turn up their noses at printers’ bills. Os all sorts of duns, a printers’ dun is ihe most un done dun. There is rest neither night nor day for the sole of his foot, and a denial to him is a matter so natural, that he has become a standing monument of patience. Those who wish to prepare themselves for elevation in eternity, ought 1o engage to collect debts for a printer. Job’s 1 ang suffering spirit is a 1 mere circumstance’ to that of a printer’s dun. We are well aware that the best kind of a dun is a bore most intolerable. He is a man, to make the best of him, who carries with him a multitude of calamities, and, like a camel, before a simoon, all sorts of people can scent his approach. * Mr. John Smith, here is your bill for a small matter due the office of the ‘ Luminous Illuminator.’ This is the fiftieth time that I have called, and you will oblige me by ‘pony ing up.’ Mr. Smith puts on his spectacles, ap proaches the collector, inspects the bill, and walks off saying, ‘ Pshaw, these printers’ hills are nuisances. Ten years I have subscribed to the Illuminator, and what good has it done? T can’t see any benefit that I have reaped from it. I only subscribed to patronize the concern. Didn’t expect to he tensed every day with a trifling account. Stop my paper I .’ The reply of Mr. John Smith contains the very philosophy of the thing. Mr. Smith cannot see the ‘benefit he has reaped from the ‘ Luminous Illuminator,” and hence he won’t pay the bill. Now, when Mr. John Smith buys a coat to keep out the cold, the benefit he reaps from it is tangible. He can comprehend the quid pro quo. But a news paper shuts out ignorance from the nobler, the intellectual portion of his natore, and it is, therefore, incomprehensible. He can’t f'd it. and, therefore, says it is net. We believe diat schoolmasters’ bills, doctors’ hills, law yers’ bills, and divines’ bills, are all more dis- ; ficult of collection, than shoe makers’, gro- i cers’, or merchants’ bills. The reason is be-; cause the ‘benefits reaped’ are not suscepti ble of touch or visual demonstration. The i ruling principle is the same throughout Christ endom. Most persons can feel the absence of a i newspaper, although ilsey cannot compre hend its presence. It is a simple, gentle, dai ly adviser. Ii comes freighted with noiseless news, to every man’s door, and most persons take it up as they do the hand of a long tried friend, whose a r gus eyed nature penetrates all quarters of the horizon. Like that friend, too, few know its loss until it occurs, and then there is a vacancy in the day—an insip- f id hour in the morning, that used to be filled with the pleasing instruction which it brought. Ah! ye two legged sinners that neglect the printer, toink of the intolerable curiosity which your newspaper has frequently relieved you of, and then go straightway and repent. As we have elsewhere observed, we have ; a most excellent and honest set of subscribers; land we are duly thankful for all their kind- 1 ! ness. In concluding this article, we bestow our benison upon them. To the young men, we wish that choicest of all blessings—a I good wife. To the young ladies, attentive ! lovers and kind husbands. To the old men, i (we love old men) we wish obedient sows, | sweet hours of repose, and a hopelul contem plation of the future. To the old women but we forget, tiiere are no old women. — i Our gallantry is sadiy at fault. ‘ Gratitude. —What American can read, i without deep emotion, the following anecdote ‘from Stephen’s ‘lncidents of Travel in J i Greece, See.’ ! ‘ x\t Kalamaki, while walking along the •shore, a Greek who spoke the lingua Franca j came from on board one of the little caiques, and, when he learned that I was an Ameri can, described to me the scene that had taken j place on that beach upon the arrival of pro- I visions from America ; when thousands of miserable beings who had fled from the blaze of their dwellings, and lived for months upon plants and roots; greyheaded men, mothers with infants at their breasts, emaciated with hunger and almost Frantic with despair, came down from their mountain retreats to receive the welcome relief. He might well remember the scene, tor he had been one of that star ring people; and he look me to his house, and showed me his wife and four children, j now nearly all grown, telling me that they I had all been rescued from death by the generosity of my countrymen. I do not i I know why, but in those countries it did not seem unmanly for a bearded and whiskered j ! man to weep; I felt any thing but contempt \ | for him when, with his heart overflowing and j his eyes filled with tears, he told me, when I j returned home, to sav to my countrymen that I had seen and talked with a recipient ’ of their bounty ; and though the Greeks might | never repay us, they could never forget what we had done for them. 1 remembered the [excitement in our country in their behalf, in I colleges and schools, from the greybearded [senator to the prattling schoolboy, and re ! fleeted that, perhaps, my mite, cast carelessly upon the waters, had saved from the extre mity of misery this grateful family. I wished that the cold-blooded prudence which would have checked our honest enthusiasm in favor of a people, under calamities and horrors worse than ever fell to the lot of man strug gling to he free, could have listened to ihe gratitude of this Greek family. With deep interest I bade them farewell, and telling my guide 1o follow with mv horse, walked over to the foot of the mountain.’ AUTUMN. Again lias the revolution of the seasons brought us to that period of the year which is peculiarly the time of thought, and of gra titude. The Creator lias so harmonised na tural objects and seasons with the revelations he has vouchsafed of the principles of true religion, that nature and revelation mutually support and sustain each other. The objects which greet our senses are types of the truths which religion offers to the mind. The think ing being needs no other confirmation than Nature generally spreads before him of the truth of religion, and the immortality of the soul. In support of the belief that the spirit of man has an eternal existence, we have the truth in nature that matter can never he an nihilated. The most that chance and change can do toward its destruction is to change its form. Though in one shape it appear to vanish before us, it is only again to present itself in anew and more beautiful formation —the same ingredients—the same atoms— reunited and more perfect. Shall we say then that the soul, the reason, the intelligence of man—call it. by what term we please—is less than matter? Are the senseless and inani mate objects we meet endued with an eter nity of existence which the soul is denied ? Are our very bodies—the earthly temples— of superior nature to the spirit which inhabits them? Reason—the boasted champion of those who would be wise above what is writ ten, revolts at such a degrading idea—a thought full of ingratitude to Omnipotence, and a doubting of his wisdom. As there is an autumn to the year—so to each man’s life, who is not cut down at mid summer or in the spring time of his existence, there is a time, when his only joy is in retro spection, or in the enjoyment of the present fruits of past labor and industry. The au tumn of life answers to the Fall of the year. Its winter is death, and beyond that death the Christian believes that there is another Spring, the advent of a life eternal. Happy are those whose autumn is the tuition of early promise. We have this season abundant reason to be grateful for the bounties of a kind Providence. Not only are crops abundant, the fruits which minister to our enjoyment, as well as the more solid food upon which we depend for support; but universal health enables those for whom these blessings are intended, to partake of them in joy and thankfulness. At no period for many a year have so many happy cir cumstances combined to bless us as at the present. Let us then, while w r e rejoice, re member the Giver. —Boston Eve. Gaz. GOLDEN OPINIONS.

The September number of the Democratic Review, in contrasting the Whig and Demo cratic newspapers in our country, says of the ; latter, ‘ though in number not equalling pro ; babiy the fourtli part of their opponents —and : almost universally inferior in those elements of success which depend on the liberality with which they are supported by the public —yet the democratic papers, throughout the country, exhibit at the present period a con trast to the whig presses equally favorable and remarkable. They are lull of energy, boldness, confidence, earnestness, argument and eloquence.’ This is certainly a high compliment to the Democratic press of the United Slates; and specially so, coming as it does, from a source entitled to so much credit for discriminating and powerful talent. But we do not believe that the panegyric is overstrained; every observant reader must have long since mark ed the striking difference between the demo cratic and whig papers; and the strong sense, the sober and thoughtful eloquence, and the nervous style which characterise the matter found in the columns of the former. Nor is it strange that the question should stand thus : The great principle of demo cracy, which it is ours to advocate —a prin ciple leading back to the formation of this glorious confederacy—a principle lodged at the base of a Constitution written for the brave, the virtuous and the free.; is the main spring whicli moves us in all our actions, and animates every lover of the Union with the bright hope of reward : and that reward, lie is assured, will be the perpetuation of the free institutions of his beloved country. Who could not —who wo ild not write free, bold and eloquent, when the quill he holds has been plucked from the wing of liberty’s bird? What excitement is wanting—w T hat lack of theme —what absence of thought or dearth of language can there be, when the cause of truth, the principle of liberty and equal rights, and the bright example of our illustri ous fathers, all rise around us as the magi of genius, scattering their light along our way, and inspiring us with the divinity of virtuous and valorous deeds! We would not appear in the vain and offending character of boast ers and egotists, but we do, upon our con science, believe that tlie cause we advocate is the cause of truth, the cause of liberty, and the cause of the people. In such a cause, the tongue must be free to speak, and elo quent in its utterance; and the head clear and strong to write, and truthful in its rea- sonings, Our opponents are contending against the administration; and the administration is contending for a democratic, republican form of government; to be administered upon the pure principles of its origin ; totally discon nected from great monied interests and influ ences. How stiikingly manifest, then, the difference between the two parties! And how sublimely superior does the cause of the democratic administration rise above the puny hiit exasperated struggles of its oppo nent whigs. ‘ The friends of the administration have a distinct and specific policy to pursue and de fend. It is boldly put forward, and held on | high, as being itself its best recommendation, if only suffered to be fairly carried out in practice. It is simple and transparent. All can readily understand it, and it is impossible long to attempt to misrepresent and mystify it. Its friends write their principles on their | foreheads; embody them in the most clear and full expositions of them ; and even have recourse to unusual forms, to put forth the most authentic declarations of them. They are all, moreover, of an unequivocal demo cratic character.’ The whigs, on the contrary, are fighting under cover. Their heart’s desire is most indubitably for a National Bank, but they are afraid to avow the doctrine. They seek to catch the breeze of popularity, ere their sen-, timents are fully and fairly known, refusing! for the present to declare for either Clay, j Webster or Harrison, referring their fiiends to some future Convention, which mighty i caucus shall decide which of the godlike pa triots, sycophantic political jugglers, or aboli tion favorites shall be run fur the next Presi dency. Engaged in this latter mysterious, unde veloped cause, are an immense number of presses, perhaps trebling the number of those on the side of democracy. And why •’ Be- j cause the whigs are the poxcer party; they are animated and moved onward by the potent and magic influence of money , ‘ the root of all evil.’ And alas for the purity of our institutions, and the perpetuation of our liberties, there are too many to be found upon the political arena, who are ready to work for the ‘filthy lucre’ in any cause, pure or impure, fair or foul. But how rich the consolation which flows as a river into the heart of that man, who knows himself to be the advocate, untram melled and free, of a constitutional form of government; of that code of political ethics,; framed and adapted by the great apostles of freedom, who lived and acted in ‘ times that ti-ied men’s souls!’ Nor does the mind pass J beyond the bounds of sober reason, when it j goes forth lbndiy to contemplate ihe surpas- ; sing amount id’ patriotic infiuence which a press, devoted to the maintenance of demo cratic principles, must exercise over and above those vehicles of Whig calumnies and I misrepresentations—papers bought and sold, like cattle in the market—ready to do the j bidding of the autocrat of a great national in stitution, and struggling ingloriously for a consolidated government —a reestablishment of the Hamiltonian system ! May we be saved from the pernicious principles of the author of the United States Bank, and deliv- j j ered from the executive sway of a lineal de-1 I scendant of the old Federal school —Henry Clay. POLITICAL INTOLERANCE. By a contemplation of the infinite variety with which the productions of both mind and ! matter are so broadly and minutely marked, it would seem that Deity had afforded to man the clearest indications of his duty. \ ariety in her productions seems to be one of the im- j mutable laws of nature ; throughout the wide range of the material universe, this principle prevails in all its infinitude. In Ihe regions I of mind, no less than in those of matter, the : influence of this same immutable law is mani ; test; and it lias been well remarked, tiiat men do not attach themselves to parties, govern ments, or systems of religion, because in I every thing each of these accord with their ! own opinions, but because the principles ! ; maintained, established, or taught, are most i nearly allied to their own views. It we would keep in view the existence of this important truth, taught us by the economy of the uni verse, anti also this utilitarian principle, or, perhaps to speak more properly, this principle of majesty, we should witness far less of that degrading spirit of intolerance which so j strongly marks and disgraces the present age- j Intolerance is a vestige of barbarism, which, in despite of all the lights which sci- i once and religion have poured upon the world, has descended to us from the dark ages. It is either the offspring of ignorance, or ot a wicked and perverse heart: it is the agent of mischief, and the arch destroyer of human happiness. We behold in the present ; day, die faint but fearful glimmerings of tiiat | indomitable spirit which led martyrs to the j j stake, and victims to the wheel. If men I would suffer themselves to be governed by | reason, tiiat noble and distinguishing attri | bute of his nature, rather than by the influ ence of the animal passions, which lie pos | sesses in common with the lowest order of the brute creation, intolerance, both political and religious, would be banished from the world. But the great misfortune is, that in polities, personal ambition, a sordid and selfish thirst for power, for wealth, for influence, and a thousand other objects unconnected with the good of country, marks the devious course of political aspirant??. The channels of communication between i these and the great body of the people, in l many instances, we regret to say, are polluted and corrupt in the highest degree. Such men and parties have their political organs or engines to operate upon public opinion, and | the degraded and detestable managers of a portion, at least, of the public press of this country, are but public slanderers, with the sherest impudence prostituting truth, and for the self-gratification of the triumph of a party, or a favorite to whom they are bound hand and foot, they seek to degrade, wither, and blast the character of all who may dare have the independence to think for themselves. Thus the most angry feelings are elicited, by appealing to the worst passions of our nature, and the most fearful elements of the human cliaracter are called into action, destructive alike to the peace of individuals and society. A noble and generous discussion of principle is lost sight of, and a political contest becomes ; a petty, loathsome, and degrading scramble, j Every man having the good of his country j and of society at heart, should lend all his j energies to put down this state of things; and the man who aids in producing them, should he held as a public enemy, and driven into that station of insignificance which his conduct so richly merits, by the universal contempt and withering frowns of a virtuous and enlightened people. In a republic especially, the truth should : never be lost sight of, that politics is justly j ranked as a moral science. Its great aim is j the happiness of man, the main prospect and ! object of his life: by it the lessons of correct j government are taught, and with us espe- ! daily, the democratic principle of ‘ the great est good of the greatest number,’ is one of its standing duties. By the rules of pure dia lectics, the ardent searcher after truth may learn her important lessons. The principles of politics thus established and pursued, be come a high, a noble, and an exalting subject of contemplation. The beneficial infiuence j exerted by her disciples upon all ranks and conditions of men, would be most sensibly and powerfully felt: before it ignorance and into- j lerance would vanish, and it might then be SO lOj ‘ And man the brother, Lives the friend of man.’ If the habit of regarding politics in this light should he cherished, the science of go j vernment would advance towards perfection ! with an exulting rapidity, the condition of man would become greatly ameliorated, and the cause of morality astonishingly advanced. . _ The Democratic party of the state ‘of New : York have nominated Win, L.

In writing upon this subject we cannot sing, ‘ Hurra.i for the red, white and blue,’ for our tickets w ere printed on plain white pa per, emblematical of the purity of our princi ples, whilst our opponents showed the pink 1 and blue, and beat us with a jerk that vvel j nigh put us out of joint; and what with a Waterloo field on which to gaze, bad head 1 aches, and considerable nausea this morning ■=> we feel strongly predisposed to the sentimen tal, and must breathe out the mournful strain, Oh no I never mention,’ &c. ; still the truth must be told, and so here goes.

Evans, 917 Lewis, 754 Howard, 859 Ilarp, 608 Richmond County. —A slip from the Chron icle and Sentinel office, dated the 2d instant, says : ‘ The election in this county yesterday resulted in the success of the entire State Rights ticket for the Legislature, by majori ties oi Irom seventy-five to one hundred and filt.v, and of the Congress ticket by majorities : of irom one hundred and fifty to two hundred, i We kept our paper open until near daylight j this morning, in order to give the returns, j but are not able to do so with correctness | except at the city box.

It may be that we shall be touted j‘horse, foot and dragoons,’ so far as the Un lion party is concerned, but of one thing we are quite sure, tiiat whatever ticket prevails | m the State, the Sub-Treasury must succeed over the Bank.

We think it in , dubitably true tiiat the march of Democrat id , | principles is onward. If the South is true . 1 1> herself, we shall escape the fangs of Fcde .; ralistn. The delusion which a short time i since seemed to lay such powerful hold upon Ii the nation, us, we think, rapidly giving.wnV. j Alabama has spoken in a voice of thunder to . j the opposition, and Maine has nobly reechoed ! back the sound. The stern Republicanism oi the great West, in the plenitude and ma jesty of her strength, so far as heard from, has proclaimed her adherence to the Demo cratic cause. South Carolina is safe, beyond a doubt, and it yet remains to be seen what will be the language of our own beloved Georgia. We believe her true to the great , cause of popular rights. The present cor* | test, as we have again and again declared, lis one of momentous importance. The issue | is in effect distinctly made up, whether this government shall be under the control of (lie sovereign people, or under the control of a combined aristocracy of wealth. We know that there are some who yet believe the peo ple not capable of self-government— that they are properly under the direction of the favor ed few, and subject to their mandate. We | rejoice to know this doctrine lo be false ; and Whilst we admit that the corrupt machina ! lions of the enemies of democracy have | sometimes succeeded, for a limited period, in j gulling the people into a support of their measures, yet a correct and proper under standing of their true interest, and the inte rest and honor of their country, has never failed to bring them back into position. So it will be again. The course pursued by the State Rights, or rather Nullification party, in this State, ; will be seen by every candid man to be one of great inconsistency and equally great disin genuousness. Whilst they profess to be op | posed to a National Bank, they are using ail their energies to put down the present admi nistration, which, if prostrated and defeated, the Bank Federal parly must necessarily come into power. We are to judge of the , tree by its fruits, and when professions go ,one way and actions another, we must lie ! permitted to take actions ns the surest index of opinions and wishes. If this is the crite rion by which we are to be governed, we (would ask. so far at least as any issue now before the country is concurred in, what does j litis party differ from the Federal party of the I North? We admit that as a party, they ; have not declared themselves in favor of Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, or Harrison, ■ for the Preside:.cv, hut they are the avowed and open opponents of Mr. Van Buren. Some portion of that party profess them s fives the friends of the leading measures of the present administration, and yet we find them, as we before said, as a party, heart ; and soul against the administration ; we find, too, that they openly support an avowed Bank man. Where, we ask, is the consis tency of this course ?’ With a certain class, the good old way is regarded as the bad old way.— Boston Even ing Gazette.
