YN e had not tune lasi week to notice Got; M Donald’s communications to our Legisla ture relative to affording through its aid, some lelaT to the people; and also to one on the subject ol the controversy between the Stales ol Virginia and New Y’oik. The subjects discussed in them, however, are of too much importance to pass without engaging the se rious attention of the citizens of this State and the South. In ordinary cases We are opposed to the in terference of the Legislature with the busi ness pursuits oi the people —trade should reg ulate itself, and individuals sic uid rely for prosperity upon heir own prudence, industry md sagacity* But there may he lin es when S'He Goveunienis may very properly inter lere to prtilect their citizens against pecuniary “11111. and we dunk the present is one of those inn's. Our cotton emp, our greai resource | in the pm chase, as web of necessaries as lux uries, and di the payment of debts, has almost completely hided, and this, under Circumstan cesnl peculiar hardship. While this crop lias been cut short i.n tins State, the Carolinas; and portions oi Alabama, in the States fur ther South and West, and in ’Texas, a fair crop Inis been made. This, aided to the stock of last year’s cotton yet on band, will prevent prices rising in the same ratio as the supply Irom Georgia lias diminished; hence the aggregate receipts from the Crop of thiti Slate, niav be less than half what has been usually realized. Add this to the embarrass ments already existing, and the prospect of a largo portion ol our cililens appeals gloomy indeed. In this state of things Gov. McDonald felt il his dniv to communicate the tacts to the L -gisaturu and to ask their interposition to prevent ihe distress which seemed impending, fha* body r illed upon him for relief, which he promptly furnished, su -gosling the only constitutional and practicable mode which could be adopted. And what was the result? Why, the Harrison reforme, s. the men who last summer and fall were ihe exclusive friends of ihe poor, and who were so loud in their .professions of what their parly would do id improve the times, should Harrison be elect ed and they get into power—these men were found turn ng up.their pretty aristocratic nos es at the Governor’s humane recommenda tion; and. careless*of what might befal their pie bean Constituents, voted to lay the subject on ihe table—and do nothing at all Thi4 have thev tested the sincerity of their profes sions and shown what that party has ever manifested—a want of sympathy f< >r the poor.

It is purely by accident that the insertion of the following letler in our columns has been delayed for so many days beyond its date, and we sincerely regret that there has been any ground given to the writer for asking itß pub lication here. \Y edo not mean to be drawn into controversy on the subject of his specu lative notions, contenting ourselves, as we do, j with protesting against the self-righteousness of the exclusive claim which he sets up to “genuine Democratic principles.” To the Editors of the Rational Intelligencer: Philadelphia, Dec. 14, 1840. Gentien en: My attention Ins recently been caiied to the following paragraph, which ] understand appeared in your paper of the iOsh ultimo, viz: “ i hos. h rle, the Abolition candidate for vice President, voted the Van Buren Presi dential ticket in Pfc-jrdelphia. So says tie correspondent cl the Baltimore American.” ‘1 he above statement of the American is tmSpunded in fact, as is known to Mr. Joshua T. Jeanes, merchant of this place, who hap pened to be at the polls when I voted. Having accep.ed the nomination of the small but faithful band who resolved to sustain genuine Democratic principles, and who, with myself, believed the support of slavery to be utterly inconsistent wi h tliese principles, I should have deemed it highly dishonorable to pursue t;.e course thus wrongfully attributed to me. Moreover, n tw;th-landing mv respect for the personal and political character of Mr. Van Buren, I Itad, some months before my nomi nator, formed and avowed an intention of withholding from him my vote, by reason of his course m relation to slavery—a determi nation from v, h.ch I never for a moment de parted, nor did I ever intimate an infent.on to depart from it. I respectfully request you to publish this .letter,and 1 des re all e Tors who have given currency to the above n.e., boned statement to copy this c orrection. Verv respectfully, yours, frc. ’ ‘ THOMAS EARLE. The whole popu ation cf the Si: te <sf New w hVdv-1 2- [NO. 48.
