The Silk Culture. —We observe with pleas ure that, almost from one end of the country to the other, the attenton of agriculturist* and others has been turned to the rearing of the Mulberry and theeproJuclioa of Si Ik. Thou sands on thousands have this year embarked in the business ; and if the spirit does not e va porate, and permit the abandonment of the enterprise before it has had a fair trial, our country will soon supply her own wants and produce largely for exportation, instead of expending ten to twenty-five millions per an num in the purchase of foreign Silks. And thi may he accomplished without subtracting essentially from the aggregate of our other products, since the labor of children arid others who are unequal to more rugged tasks will to perform nine-tenths of the work here required ; while the enterprise will open anew and ample field to female industry, which lias bsen too much fettered among us—a field more favorable to morals and health than the atmosphere of factories, and more congenial to the independence of Ame rican character than the precarious toils of domestic service. And not only will the now’ productive labor, or rather capacity for labor, of our country, find boundless employ ment, but the light and sterile soils which have been exhausted by improvident cultiva tion, or were naturally unfruitful, may thus be made productive to an extent beyond the wildest dream of their proprietors. But all this requires tune and patience, and ihat skill winch is only found in connection with experience. If any expect to become suddenly riel: by the Silk Culture, it is hardly a prophecy to say they are doomed to dis appointment. True, some have realized for tunes or competences by the rearing of the Mulberry, but that proves nothing more than the eagerness With which our citizens are em barking in the new business. Mulberries, it must he apparent,have borne an exorbitant price this season—such as we think no man is justified in paying but lor a beginning. He who has none may afford to pay fifty cents each for shoots to commence with, but he can hardly expect to renliz -a profit from bis first year’s production—of Silk, we mean, sine? Mulberries may, but more likely never will, command such prices again. But he who commences on a small scale now, with ill the lighs which the recorded exprience of others can give him, and is so rational as not to calculate on making a fortune by a busi ness until he has acquired a practical knowl edge of it, will be almost certain, in our judge ment, eventually to reap a satisfactory reward lor his outlay and industry. We trust, then, that this sudden and very general direction of capital, enterprise and industry to the Silk Culture, will prove no mere bubble or transient enthusiasm. The visionary and the giddy who have rushed in tuit with the absurd idea of making a fortune off-hand will of course as abruptly abandon it when they have met the disappointment which certainly awaits them. But those who have understood their business from the outset, and entered upon it with intelligence and common sense, will be sure to find their ultimate advantage in perseverance, while they wiil add millions to the production and perniament wealth of their country.—.Vjw Yorker. The Teeth —Our friend Weldie notices a discovery of no little importance to such as are troubled with bad teeth. He says : ‘ Sometime since, Dr. Caldwell,* now a practising dentist at No. 63 South Sixth street, had a favorite horse which had become in capable of eating his oats, and on investiga tion a carious tooth indicated the difficulty to result probably from the tooth ache. Ex traction was the remedy of course; the poor horse was tripped up by tying his feet togeth er as custom prescribes, his gum was lanced, as we poor humanities have too often wit nessed, and a pair of pinchers were applied, us we have also experienced; even a mallet and chisel failed of their effect. The tooth was intractable; no effort could draw it from its socket. The gum tumefied, and, on ex . a mining it carefully, the doctor perceived a ligament at the neck of the tooth, and with out much thinking of effect, he cut it ; the tooth immediately fell out, or was extracted with a slight effort with the thumb and finger. This led the operator to reflection, and the hint was obta'ineJ which confers upon suf fering huinaily a benefit, which tnay be es teemed by th.e-stjiH.-rer second only to the dis coveries of Jenner, or the circulation of the blood 1 Subsequent experiments have fully proved that the human teeth are also retained so powerfully in their sockets by a ligament, and it is the breaking of this which requires much manual force; and •this, when’ cut, which gives not so much pain as lancing the gums, loosens the tooth, and it mav immedi ately be extracted, without pain, with the fin g'rs ! A phvsician of our acquaintance, has had the operation of extracting a large mo lar, treble framed tooth in thisWnv, without pain, and so graceful was he bv the fact, that lie investig#e3 the anatomy of the parts and extracted all trie teeth of a dead subject in the same way, and with no more difficulty than above related. He is a witness not to be impeached, who with many others have al ready been benefited by this great anatomi cal discovery.’ Congress — car Congressmen. —lt is proba ble we shall have much strutting in borrowed plumage, as among them we have a Daw's son, who has been lately flying at high game.* For the future, however, we hope he will not act so unwisely since he has a .Vice-bit more to his taste, which he may keep lor his own picking at.

I COLUMBUS, NOVEMBER 3, 1333. j PROSPECTUS OF THE COLUMBUS SEN-! TINEL AND HERALD. The undersigned, having recently entered upon the duties of Editor, considers it due to the cause of candor that he should thus briefly set forth the political doctrines which he shall ! attempt to advocate, and by which lie shall be governed. On the great question relative to the pow ers of the State and Federal Governments, and which has so long divided the people of Georgia, ana it may with truth be said, <;f the whole South, lie lias ever been a member .of that party known as the Union party. From ns thorough an investigation as he was enabled to give the subject, at an early pe riod of the controversy, he became convinced! that the doctrine of nullification was wrong in theory and in practice, could not fail to lead to the most disastrous consequences, des tructive alike to the perpetuity of our govern ment, and the -liberty and happiness of the people. Whilst he professes himself a firm and decided advocate for the rights of the States, and a believer in a strict arid literal construction of the Federal Constitution, he is nevertheless clearly of (he opinion, in the language of Gov. Troup, that “ the ballot box is the only constitutional remedy for an 1 unconstitutional law.” By reference to the | history of the Federal Constitution, it is run- i nifesl shat it was formed by the States, not in their political capacity as States, but by the people of each of* the States acting in their ; highest sovereign capacity. Thus, as re duaiked by Mr. Madison, the Constitution of | the United States was formed by the same ! authority which formed the State Constitu tions. The Federal Constitution being thus deri ved from the sovereign will of the people in each of the States, it consequently has the same authority in each of the States as the State Constitutions, and, to quote Mr. Madi son still further, “ is as much a Constitution, in the strict sense of the term, within its pre scribed sphere, as the Constitutions of the i States are yi their respective spheres, but j with this obvious and essential difference, that 1 being a compact among the States in tlicir ’ highest sovereign capacity, and constituting! tfie people thereof one people for certain pur- j poses, it cannot be altered or annulled at the will of the Slates individually, as the Consti tution of a Stale may be at its individual will.” A furl her provision of this Constitution is in this language, that “ this Constitution, and | the laws and treaties made in pursuance ‘ thereof, shall be the supreme law of the land, ; any thing in the Constitution or laws of anv | State to the contrary notwithstanding.” It | follows from thence, as a corollary, that the laws passed by Congress, until they shall have been encountered and overcome by the con trolling power in that government from which they emanated, (to wit: the will of the people expressed at the ballot-box,) are binding upon the States and the people; and in order to secure the full scope of their powers, it is made the duty of the Judges, in each of the; States, to. give them full exercise. For the protection of the rights of the j States and the people, the Constitution has | relied ujioL rcßsausiWtoy--TSf the Senator* i and Representatives in Congress, to the peo ple and legislatures of the States the respon sibility of the President to the people of (he United States, and the liability of the Execu tive and Judicial officers of the Government ito he impeached by the representatives of j the people in thefoder.il legislature, and to be | tried by the Senators, the peculiar representa i iives of the States. ! The frequent recurrence of elections will, ; we think, always secure the people against oppression from the General Government. But. if this should not, then there is a point at which passive obedience becomes a crime.— In such a crisis, that right, paramount lo ail Constitutions, must be resorted to, to wit: the right of revolution. We have already stated that we are strict constructionists, believing that all the powers intended to be conferred on the Federal Gov ernment, are specifically enumerated in the Constitution. It follows from thence that we aie opposed to the establishment of a Na tional Bank by Congress, to a system of in ternal improvements by the General Govern ment, and to a protective Tariff,.or to any other exercise of power deriving its existence : from implication. ! We are of those who believ: in the maxim ! : that “ the world is governed too much,” and I | that all the exclusive privileges conferred upon companies or individuals, are so far an inno j vation upon the rights of the people. Hence we oppose the influence of corporate power, of monied power, or any other power by i which the rights of die great body of* the ’ people are taken from them or jeopardized. We believe further, that the people of this | country are capable of self-government, and the Democratic principle that “all men are ! born equal,” is with us a standing and invaria ! Isle maxim. These are the leading doctrines which we shat! attempt fearlessly and zealously to sup port, and upon the fi.m establishment of: which, in our opinion, the existence of thisj Government and the cause of freedom de pends. JAMES H. CAMPBELL. MONOPOLIES. No better evidence can he wanted to prove that those horned beasts are fearfully increasing iu our country, than is presented in the history of the banks, aud the contrast ex hibited between the condition of these legal ized shaving >hops, and the condition of the people themselves. Monopolies, of all kinds, a: longerons, and have tended, more than any thing else, to retard the onwatd course of freedom, from the earliest period of civili zation. What is a monopoly r It is the ex clusive right to a common privilege, and the exclusive privilege to use a tight common to all, so as to make-it selfish and individual in its benefits. A monopoly of intellect cannot he obtained —fitr which we adore the author of our ex istence — the human mind cannot, will not, be trammelled ; in its thought, there is freedom —in its action, independence. But a monied monopoly easily obtains. Its growth is al most spontaneous, at least it is natural; for owing to the difference of disposition in'iiian- j hind, in relation to industry, economy and prudence, some will be found to have amass ed great wealth, while others must trudge . long with but a modicum, and be subject more or less to the control ol ti e more weal thy. O. this state of things we will not stop to compiain; for a man who will not work, dues not deserve to eat; and lie who studies not economy, need not look for ease or inde pendence. But the monopoly of which we have, do, and will compiain, is found in that system of banking which has grown up in our country like the upas tree, and spreading its strong and luxuriant branches, is scatter ing its deadly poison to the four quarters of tins republic. We are no bankers. We have never been schooled in the intricate science of financiering; but, unless we are totally ignorant of the original object of es tablishing banking institutions, they were in tended as safe depositories for the surplus money of the people—die hanks themselves deriving whatever benefit might accrue from the use of such deposits for a given length of time—and i:i turn, lending their means and resources to the accommodation of the peo ple—and more especially the mercantile class —whenever they might be required, upon the proper securily. Are we mistaken in the original purport and intent of banking ? If not, how sadly have the monied institu tions of the country, departed from first prin ciples! Most cheerfully do they receive de posits. and as cheerfully turn them over and over, to swell the credit side of profit and loss account. But where is that accommodation so much needed by our merchants in these pinching times ? W hat are the banks about ? \Ve speak generally, and hope not to be un derstood as in the slightest degree pointed or invidunits—are they doing a legitimate business ? Are they fulfilling the spirit of their charters? Are they, as incorporated bodies, acting in good faith towards that power which spoke them into existence, and gave them their credentials? Let the dying con dition of commerce and trade in general an swer these questions. Let the records of the courts speak. Could we hold up to view these records, we could exhibit a list of suits in favor s>! the banks, and against the peo ple, longer than the funeral procession of Cse sar. The bank debtors are compelled by law to pay the uttermost farthing, while the bank creditors are forced to wait until their monster musters please to resume specie pay ment. Here is the iron rod that is heating down the sceptre of liberty ; here is the scor pion lash that is whipping the free-born of the earth, like very slaves ! Who can raise his head and affirm that he has been bene fited by a bank ? Not he who dwells without its walls; not the man who is honestly striv ing for a livelihood, and closely husbanding the awards of his prudence and economv. If he wants exchange, he must pay a per cent, equal to what he can make on the sale of his goods, thus obliging him to yield his hard earnings to swell the profits of the bank, while his own interests are not a whit ad vanced. Are we asked fora remedy? we reply, it is to be found in the virtue, intelli gence, and independence of the people ; and through their representatives a system of le gislation should be m’ ouuced tending to sus tain the peorye’s rights by coercing the hanks into a Proper discharge of their duties. The oiuyNymcm ‘ve Vtjv*wi?T’a present, by which to bring the banks to their saber senses, is the system of free banking. This system we hope to see established. More anon. The public meeting which took place on Friday last, with reference to the improve ment of the Water Power on the Chattahoo chee, resulted precisely as we had anticipated. : Many men of many minds.’ How often have we written that phrase for our school copy, and knew not what was the meaning thereof. But no person could possibly have mistaken its meaning who was so unfortunate as to have been present at the meeting alluded to above. The object of the meeting was simply’ to ask the concurrence of citizens ir the adop tion of a resolution which had passed the i hoard of Aldermen, that said resolution might he sent up to the Legislature, asking of that body to give to the corporation of Columbus I the power to perfect titles to such portion of I the Town Commons as could be appropria ted for the general benefit and prosperity of the whole City. But, as has been the case invariably in this curious town, whenever a subject has been brought forward of general utility, there have 1 been found to spring up ‘many men of many j mindsand the old school house puzzle lias crossed our’ brain—but the result has been universally the same; the? object hud in view has always been defeated. Nor do men ap pear to differ upon questions of policy or even of legal construction quite enough upon prin ciple. Stubborn opposition, or private inter est, seems to sway them entirely. Else, wherefore do individuals exert them selves so strenuously in opposition to every mea are in relation to the great question of appropriating the Commonsskirting the fails, for manufacturing purposes ? for tins is the naked point at issue. The hour has arrived when an effort is to be made on behalf of Columbus, and for the establishment of her ’ future prosperity; and why may there not be ur.animiiy of aoion on a subject ol such vast importance? May not the reason be j found in the variety of interests to be sub served? We regret extremely the want of, harmony in view of lids project; lor we be-! lieve that we see, in its success or defeat, the j rise and fall of this hitherto flourishing town.! What must be the inevitable result? Ii Co lumbus will not avail herself of the gifts ol na ture, most assuredly they will he improved upon the western bank of the river. No e”e that is half open can lose sight of the invalu- . able water privileges that are located within the grasp of this City ; and surely in this age of enterprise and improvement they will not much longer be allowed to rest dormant. ; Who tint has-stood upon the banks ol ourwild ■’ and powerful falls, and watched their gushing j waters as they passed uselessly away to the •Treat ocean, can have failed —if he were a j lover of his native land: most ardently to’ desire that their power might be turned to! the benefit of his fellow citizens. Anu why has it not been done? Can lack of capital j be urged as a good reason? No—we an-; stver without the fear of contradiction, no.! I A million of dollars could be invested here in t the brief space of a month, were the wav I fairly open, and nothing, is wanting to open that way, stve unanimity of feeling and con cert of action. W e trust that those gentlemen who have taken the lead hitherto in this matter will not j ‘ Crow weary in well doing,’ but urge forward their plans, and risk the ultimatum upon the : high legal authorities previously given. SHIP AHOY! The Whigs are changing colors. When the piesent administration came into power, it was with an open and avowed hostility to a National Bank. The Federal party, with j Mr. Clay at their head, stood in the opposi tion, and consequently advocated the Bank. Mr. Clay was the acknowledged head and leadt r of the opposition, and the great defend jer.oi the bank on the floor of the Senate as elsewhere, and until very recently viewed as the sole Whig Candidate for the Presiden cy, in opposition to Mr. Van Buren. Bui with many of their leading men and presses a change seems to have come o’er the spirit ol their dreams. Mr. Webster’s last speech at Faneui! Hall bad a squinting that way. He asserted that government must regulate the National Currency 5 that it was incum , bent on it to establish a uniform currency, I which it was authorized to do under tlie pro vision to regulate commerce ; but he would not asseil that it must establish a National Bank to effect this. The defeat of the Whigs in Maine followed this key note ; and the Boston Atlas played second fiddle by renounc ing Mr. Clay as tiie candidate of the Whig Party. But a few day since tiie New York Express put forth the opinion gravely : that a National Bank would be totally unnecessary since Mr. Biddle had established his Bank in New York, and obtained a foothold in that City, in a manner likely to be permanent. 1 The New York Star, the earliest and most i zealous advocate of Mr. Clay’s pretensions, readily chimes in with his contemporaries | aid agrees to tiie policy of setting aside the bank issue, and of course is willing to drop : Mr. Clay. And the Bank correspondent of the National Intelligencer denies, in his inap ■ proacbable wisdom, that there is any such I issue as Bank or Sub-Treasury'; but .states the true issue to be ‘ Sub-Treasury or no Sub- Treasury !!’ A most extraordinary postula tum for the party to lake, inasmuch as it ex hibits them willing to abandon any and every system in their eagerness to defeat the Sub- I reaßury. It is. however, no matter of as tonishment after all, that the Whigs should be anxious to change their ground and their leader. And it has all along been a matter ! of surprize with us, that in their sagacity thev | had not perceived that the tide of popular j feeling was setting with tremendous force ; against Jhe Bank, or a Bank, or any thing in | the shape of an institution which should bear i about it one solitary feature resembling the j old monster himself; and that they should j have been blind also to the total unfitness of j Henry Clay to rule over a people wedded to ■ a pure Jeffersonian Democracy. But the question suggests itself, how can they he bet i tereJ by ?, change? We do not think they can, ns far as success is cone* tied, for the 1 . loud and almost universal voice seems to say that Mr. Van Buren shall, like his illustrious ! predecessor, he returned to a second reign by ! a swelling and overpowering tide of pnpu -1 lariiy. MORE SIGN.!. | The Madisonian, a Conservative print, j published at the City of Washington, has a j long editorial on the subject ol trie next Pres idency. It advises a neutral course to its fiends ; states that it lias been strongly temp j ted repeatedly to take a decided stand, but is I not yet prepared to do so; Mr Rives being ! the favorite of the Madisonian, could lie be j conveniently brought upon the tapis. (Ye I gods! what a forlorn hope! or as it would be j expressed in Georgia parlance, ‘that’s a bad chance.’) The Madisonian speaks of the following individuals as having been talked of at head quarters, as candidates for the Chief Magis tracy : Gen. Harrison, Mr. Clay, Mr. Web ster, Corn. Stewart, Gen. Hayne, and Gen. V* infield Scott, on the Whig side; and on jibe Democratic side, Messrs. Van Boren, Benton, Calhoun, and Kendall—and he should have added, Forsyth. Here’s a field for you. Some horse is bound to be distanced. Trade. —lt is now raining very hard, and there is a good prospect for a boating river. V. e have been long without an arrival direct from Apaiachicola, and our market is ex tremely bare of many of the necessaries of use ; and as to luxuries, we are compelled to do without them. The stock of Western produce is not by any means large, and yet, as we heard a gentleman say a day or two ago, it is soiling here lower than in New Or leans. This may be explained, however, in tnis way: at a season when our river is up to good boating order, and when our market is animated, and trade in general is brisk; stocks are ordered which frequently over reach the wants of the purchasers, and at a time like the present, when anew season is about to open, and a high river daily antici pated, of course old stocks of produce are pushed off at reduced prices, for the reason obviously, that fresh goods will always outsell those which have been on hand during a long and dull season. But our market is elastic, vigorous and persevering, and whenever the navigation will permit steamboats to reach j our wharves, we shall exhibit the liie, bustle : and activity of prosperous business.

Business is re viving—our town is quite lively. • 'facon Races. —First and ty, mile heats, won by Charlotte Barnes; second day, two mile j heats, won by Ajarraii Harrison ; third day, 1 three mile heats, won by Alice Ann, and the! tour mile day won by Gerow. Time in all’ the races very slow. Flounce again.—The last M icon Mes-1 senger, a sort of Clay, Whig, Nullification paper, flounces tremendously at a paragraph inoneot our previous numbers, headed ‘ De mocratic Triumph. 5 Poor fellows! what | will Uiey do alter the election in IS 10 ? Perhaps they will quit editorial occupa-: lions and betake themselves to a constant study of Bond’s famous speech. ‘They say vve must be located somewhere off the road, where the news don’t reach us often. Wheth er we are on or oil the road, of one thing we fee! confident, that our neighbors of the Mes senger are out of the track, arid must be dis tanced in the coming race. We would sav to them, as to all desperate men, keep cool. And mote than all, if the express mail does not supply you with tiie news, just step down to the Lyceum, and learn that Porter, Go vernor elect of Pennsylvania, is a thorough i going Van Buren man, and that Connecti cut has very recently held her municipal elec tions, in which the Administration Las gained gloriously. Indians. —The Conchatitnico and Walker’s Town Indians, formerly residing on the Ap alachicola river, have departed for the West. The St. Joseph ‘Times, of tiie 24th ult., says, that the steamboat Rodney arrived at the depot, having on board these Indians, 2u9 in number, being the ‘ last of the Mohicans’ from West Florida. We congratulate the inhabitants of thar pleasant section, upon the prospect of peace and quiet now before them. Steam packet JYeptune ashore. —This ves sel, on her passage from Baltimore to Charles ton, went ashore on the Horse Shoe, at the mouth of Cane Fear river, on the 23d ult., with a pilot on board', while putting m tor wood. The boat, it is said, will be got ofl without injury. The passengers were taken off and conveyed to Charleston by the Gov. Dudley, Capt. Ivy. Since writing the above, we learn, by a slip from the office of the ‘Baltimore Ameri can, that the Neptune arrived safe at Balti more, and took her place in the line on Fri day the 2d inst. Counterfeits. —Look out for counterfeit $5 bills on the Slate Bank of Georgia ; VV. B. Bulloch, President, A. Porter, Cashier, and dated July 2d, 1336, payable in Savannah. The signatures will be found, upon close examination, to be engraven instead of writ ten, and the entire appearance of the bill is much darker than those which are genuine. A man by the name of House was arrested a few days ago in Macon, on a charge of passing the above named bills. He stated his residence to be near Quincy, in Florida. CANADA. Latest accounts exhibit this section of country still in a very unsettled condition. The Lieutenant-Governor has issued a pro clamation, calling out a portion of the militia of Canada to proiect the citizens against an extensive conspiracy said to be funned in the United States for the purpose of cooperating with the Canada insurgents. We have a most miserable gang of vagabonds banging on the border line, who are ripe for ‘ treason,’ etc., and with all the efforts which have been so promptly made by our general govern ment, it will be impossible to preserve tran quility until a few of the renegades are caught and strung up. V/e have no idea that Canada will ever rest contented in tier present condition.— When the spirit of liberty begins to burn, it 13 exceedingly difficult to quench. UNBOUGHT TRIBUTE. The following is an extract from a speech’ delivered by Air. lugenoll, at or near Phila delphia, during the late canvass which result ed in his election to Congiess. This is the j man whom the opposition are pleased to cal, 3 tory. ‘ It firms no part, of my purpose to corn-, pare the President with his competitors, with ; out ieferer.ee to whom Mr. Ye i Bureu has ; proved himself eminently worthy anJ capable, lof the Chief Magi -traev. Many will not I approve of his Aimim.iualion under any cir cutnstances. Put those tvho put h at the ‘head of the country have I > <nd him a man ol | talents, principle, si net rity, decision, and | firmness, undc-t whose government the United j States are prosperc s, and advancing, by j simple institutions, to their great destiny;; I tie Union is safe ; republican institutions are j flourishing; our foreign relations are con- I ducted by a sincere lover of peace, who will, j nevertheless, we trust, maintain the honor of j the greatest of republican empires; and our i internal concerns are .settling upon that basis lof tiue political economy which all modern j intelligence and experience attests as the i broadest and best. Mr. Van Buren lias not j \ Gen.-Jackson’s personal popularity ; he never, will have it. But though no victory ii.s! ennobled, or veto illustrated his career, lie is the author of ti:c greatest reform attempted in ilf.s‘country, and a pilot who has weathered many a storm more fearful than battie. Mis; personal deportment has b en so unexcep-, tionable, that he has probably not made an enemy, while Mr. Cl \v. in Senate, is his per-] sonal eulogist; and his friends have reason to, b j ('ratified with ’ - conduct. Acons’ foruß* t an and uiupcssiorate Americans must acknow ledge tiie sterling merits ot his persona 1 Chief Augi.s>faCy, v.tiitrn has disarmed opposition ot most oi us materials, as bn measures have dissipate, l tin 1 demerits ot panic and excite ment 011 winch it throve. Calm but unfalter ing, ikieienu 1 yet inflexible, adherence to principle, without appeal to popular passion or prejudice, with dignity, both personal and official, he has engaged the attention, the consideration, and the approval of an in creasing majority of the people, on whose intelligence and virtue he cast anchor. The worst is over, much sooner than might have been expected. The President'put his Ad ministration on an issue which many of his real, and a!i of his pretended, adherents, con sidered fatal to him. But he lias proved the wisest. Even if lie had {alien, it would have been with honor untarnished, and a good con science to repose upon afterwards. But lie has risen; lie has succeeded ; lie wilt succeed ; and Democracy no.v owes him a large debt ot” at knowledgment. This is not the language of flattery, or so licitation, but of a calm, watchful, and even critical observer, anxious indeed lor Mr. Van Boren's well doing, hut determined, and always ready, to denounce him if necessary. It is vindication offered less for him than to tiie Democratic interest with which his admi nistration is identified, whose cohesion is meant to cherish, not for the man, but for the measures of which lie is the representative. Jt is contradiction of indiscriminate opposition, and discriminating support of the Adminis tration, such as 1 deem the true ground of an independent American. PUBLIC MEETING.

Is all lost ? is hope extinguished ? No! 1 hold that there is virtue in the pco-, pie; that notwithstanding they ruay be ltd astray for a while, yet that they will rise su4 perior to all difficulties. Factious men tuul demagogues may turn the tide of public opinion; yea, political sophists may even subvert reason herself, nevertheless time and public opinion will dispel the impervious cloud ol'deception—the sway of ignorance ! for I bold that there is virtue in the people ! What can I say of recent events in Geoigia? shall we lament? shall we sit idly by and give | up the ship? shall we remain passive specta tors to our own defeat—to our own disgrace? |‘ To be, or not to be,’ is the question. I say j then that \veqe a formidable party; en- I gaged as we are in the cause of democracy, ! which is emphatically the cause of liberty, of | truth, of justice. I say, such being the case, I as a necessary corollary, we must arid finally j will prevail—for I entertain this sacred truth ! that there is virtue in the people. Great was | the anxiety entertained by the opposition ! touching the results in Georgia. Vv ho do we ‘understand by the opposition 7 Those op | posed to the administration? those opposed | to the powers that be? or is the Sub-Trea j ury to be the test question? If tue latter be subject-matter at issue; if the Treasurv-de i nounccrs are termed “opposition,” then the j present Administration is in the ascendant. | For it is admitted that a majority of the del j egati'Mi elect, are supporters of this same i Sub-Treasury scheme, concocted, as our op | ponents say, in the corruption of Mr. Van Buren, and backed and vouched for zealous ly by Mr. Calhoun. What i3 to he done? Time has brought about a union of the grand antagonists. Shall the apo-fie of nullifica tion be denounced ? Is the offence of so irre parable a nature that it cannot be mended? The *■ lit tie Magician’ is at the bottom of all this—this Sub-Treasury humbug—to him all the honor. “Would any of the tribe of Barra L-ba* sliould have it rather than a Christian.” It lias been sain iLt tl— w'vty elected r< p resentatives from Georgia, at least a majori ty, are in favor of the aforesaid humbug; but it appears that Mr. Cooper will, in the even; the contest should he between Mr. Van i Buren aid Mr. Clay, support the former, j Should the Electoral College fail in its decis ion we will call on Mr. Cooper. This opinion [of the honorable member elect is the result of mature reflection! calm investigation 1 Candor is a fine principle, especially when united with calm philosophy. Nome of our friends of the press would have Mr. Cooper support Mr. Blank. Bat it appears that Mr. Cooper philosophises fir Jiimse.'i. “'I is wise,” Mr. Cooper, “ his well but no. the the less a shame” in the e.ics of your party. - Oil. philosophy! THoi'-'r.T a jewel! Mighty and manifold will !*• the denunciations-; phials of wrath will be cast at your devoted head. .Mr. Conner, be you firm : in the hour of trouble revet to your philosophy, id tnat be vour consolation, your support ! It seems to f j;e tp.it wo are approaching a great crisis i;i our country’s affairs, the which will re quire all the energy, talent and honesty of o t:r public functionaries; then we shall call upon Mr. Cooper, et id crane genus, to rush to the rescue, to support the rights of the people, to preserve the Constitution from the ruthless hands of the Mountain. 1 say we stand in need of a'l the help we can get., “The rioxous doctrine, abolition , is to Le quashed in its germ.” “ The deadly sirocco, nunification y is to he circumvented within narrow limbs.” The all-important question of the currency is to be settled. He that w il he able so stand then will deserve the thanks of mun and woman. For the I !’ -vc the s’dfipi-!. ’ ■-
