The | New-York Courier of the 15th instant, I says: "Ry the arrival of the Pavilion, captain Uevalcourt, which sailed on ihe 21st of ! September iroin Smyrna, wc have receiv | eii the important intelligence that the trea ty with Turkey lias been confirmed by the Grand tseignor, and that the reln- I tiuus ot tiie United States with the Porte are placed on the looting of the most la ! vored nation. The following is a., ex traciof a letter trom a commercial house of the highest respectability; myma, Sept. 29, 1831. Conn Porter bad an audience with the Grand Seignoron the 18th instant. The negotiation has terminated favorably; bu .... .. r 1. i. turns ot the treaty. There re no doubt however, but we are placed on the footing I of the most favored nation.” One feature re remarkable in this intel ligence: The reception by the Sultan of a mere Charge des Affaires, in wlucii subordinate capacity Commodore Porter was sent, is perhaps unprecedented in the annals of the Turkish empire. It has been the cus tom to admit no diplomatic agent under the rank of Ambassador to an audience ot' the Grand Seignor himself. In the case ot the United States, this tfwceoiietiquette appears to have been waived.” \\ e understand that despatches for the United States’ Government have been re ceived by the same vessel, and sent by mail to W ashington. The importance of this treaty to the commercial intercourse of the U. States with the East and the Levant, is manifest to every one acquainted with the natural wealth, riches, and awaking spirit of those countries. A treaty of commerce with the Sublime Tone not only opens the ports of the Rlack Sea, the sea of Asoph, and other ports beyond the Dardanelles, but it lays the foundation lor a more activ e in tercourse with all those maritime nations oil the Eastern and Southern shore* of the Mediterranean, which acknow ledge fealty to the Sultan. CAROLI NA RLANKETS. There has been left with us, for public inspection, a pair of blankets, from the manufactory of John E. Calhoun, of Pen dlentou District. The warp is ofCotton and the fillings Wool; and they are pro nounced equal to London Duffilijs. Experience has proved them to lie very durable. They measure Bby 9 quarters and are sold as last as they can he nianu- factured, at $5 per pair. Col. C’s estab lishment is found to be highly beneficial to the farmers of the District who find there a ready market for all their w 001, and a portion of their cotton crops. Flannel to a c usideralfle extent are like wise manufactured at this establishment. Very handsome specimens of carpet in </ have been made there. The wool card ing part of the establishment is actively engaged in preparingthe wool of the neigh boring counties for domestic use, which is brought, in some instances, a distance of forty miles for the purpose.

DECEMBER 3, Wii. WILLI AM SCHLEY esq. of Richmond county, is a candidate for member of congress to fill the vacanev occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Lumpkin. CLAYTON, ofClark county, re also candidate for the same ap pointment. Election to he held on Monday the I2th of December next. The approaching election for member of Congress, is one which should excite more than usual attention. The crisis which is approaching in the affairs of our conntry, demands the best talents from among the people, to meet it. It is more peculiarly the duty of the people of Georgia to select as their representa tives in Congress, men whose firmness may be depended on, and whose princi files are of the right stamp: Because these principles have been misunder stood, or misrepresented abroad. We have beeu set down as Dreunionists-as A!’nfilters! .Now we believe that the peo ple of Georgia are truly uttaebed to the institutions ol their country, and firmly . tlacheit to the union of the States. is 11 noi then important that they should send men to Congre- , whose patriot ism mnnot Ik* doubted—whose princi ples cannot be suspected? We may boast of our patriotism at home; we may be loud in ou- execration - against Nul lification and IS reunion: yvt if vve send men to Ctyogres-, who make common cause with the Ibremo-i Disviniooists in warn vv.il avail ou. patriotism? W hat will avail ourprin ciples? Now Mr. Schlk\ is know n to be (irm ly attached to the lYnoij of the ,States, and to the* C onstiluiion, and to the pre sent administration of the General Gov ernment. He is a patriot of the out Washington School. But Ai r. C layton is a politician of al together another sort: He has written more to tiring the General Government into disrespect, and to weaken the at tachment of the people to the Union of the Slates, than any other man in the country, lie is a TV’ullifier of tne rank esl sorl. It is true be possesses talents. But talents badly directed, only render him more capable of mischief. Besides, as Gov. Gilmer -to *il in his late mes sage to the legislature. 'T Clayton's <• «-■• t~a;, ln Question, ‘‘iias thrown an insuperable obstacle in the way of the efforts which ire now ma king by the United State**, t induce the Clvrokees to emigrate ” \ow if Mr, Clayton’s prineiph s have been so dan gerous w hiio at home, what will he their effect when lie g its into Congress,where the theatre of hi operations is more extended and important! Why vve shall never get an ucre of Indian land while the Chei okees are able to beid on to it! This is a subject which demands the serious consideration of the peope*- We will also take tins opportunity of saying one word to the Clark party. Why is it, that although the Clark par ty were the original and only efficient supporters of General Jackson, yet none ot them have been enabled to obtain Ins favorable notice, or even an appointment under him; while their opponents, those who vihified Jackson, opposed Ins friends and ridiculed bis claims, have been re warded with honors and office? Is it not because the Clark party have not had representatives in congress, to set forth their merits and their claims; and because Jackson has been made to be lieve, that the Clark party are made up (according to Crawford) of the worst ma terials, the odds and ends of all parties the mere tag-rag nnd bob-tail of society? Is it not then important that the Clark party should, occasionally, send on to W ashington City a fair specimen of their cast and character? Again: Why is it that every Postmaster in the State is a Troup man? Mas it not been effected by our Troup Representatives in Congress? CIRCULATING LIBRARIES. Among the many facilities which mo dern improvement presents for the easy acquisition of knowledge, circulating li braries, though among the more com mon, ytt are also among the most useful. There are comparatively few whose means will enable them to accumulate private libraries embracing the whole round of the sciences and all the acquisi tions of modern literature. It is then to public libraries that the amateur must ap ply himself. Consequently we must look upon these institutions as public benefac- tions. I* is therefore with much grati fication that we have noticed the efforts of our enterprising fellow citizen, Mr. Norton to establish a cireulatiug library in j our town. He has already accumulated I t rich colh ctwin of miscellaneous and light reading, together with a great varie ty of scientific, and hisioricul works; and die terms o* leeess me liberal and accoin j mod.Jing to ih* public. Me heartily i wish public patronage may indemnity him 1 * for ike taking. k , cIiM.viUMCATEtr. CANDIDATE for congress. Mr. l.artlttt : In coii.-< quenre of the election of Air. Lump:, i. loti.e Executive Chair of the a>tute, '. ■■ecoiiH's necessary to look a rounri, ui and to select a suitable carnii date to supply the vacancy in Congress. i discover that you have spoken of Owen J|. K on-dii,- and£hat a correspon | dent, who signs himself “Muscogee,’’ as recommended .Mr. Milton. As to the first of these individuals, he will not. I am confident, permit his name to be run; und as to the second, : he certainly ought not so to do. i rni.it me, ilierelbre, io recommend the Hon. eiiltium Schley, of Augusta, as a candidate for the suffrages ol ihe > eo ple—a man who, if elected, will adorn the station, anil teffect lustre upon the state: A man, in short, whose plain re publican habits, modes' and unassuming deportment, would ensure hint the con tiden e of Geu. Jackson and the friends ol the Administration: A man, indeed, whose scientific attainments and legal acquirements, place him far in advance ol ins competitors. in relation to tin* interest of the west ern counties, no man that vve can elect, vvouid promote it more than Judge SCHLEI; un.l no man can, or will he more anxious to forward the views of Air. Lumpkin and ais friends, in tne ac quisition nl tne Indian Lands. The weapons which he will make use of, will be the mild dictates of reason, and tne persuasive eloquence of Troth. These must and will prevail. Congress are not to be. driven into measures by threats and loud declamation: ii only wants plain and convincing arguments urged home m a modest and unostenta tious manner, in order to induce it to forward our views. 1 am personally acquainted with the gentleman, and have witnessed ins im partial administration of justice, while upon the Rencli of the Middle Circuit, and take pleasure in beamy witness that no man ever gave more general satisfac tion to both Clark and Trotip-nien, than did he. Indeed it may truly be said, that, as a Judge, he was blind to party, uid m (lefutigabie in his exertions to adniimsler | even-handed justice to all; and that vvith j out delay —always disregarding his pri I- ate interest and comfort when it came in opposition to the faithful discharge m the <tulles oj his ojfiee. Herein favor ot n strict construction I of the Constitutions of the United States t and State Governments—the State and General Government moving vvitlun their I literal constitutional orbits. lie is opposed to the existing Tariff— jto Nullification; and to its counterpart 1 Disunion. b liile, on the other hand, lie is in favor of preserving, in a peaceable, constitu tional manner, the rights of the State, and the best interests and happiness of the p ople of Georgia. Let the people, therefore, unite, particu larly the friends of Mr. Lumpkin, and elect Judge Schley to supply the vacant seat in Congress. ARISTIDES. TO THE PUBLIC. At the request of Major Camp, I make ; this statement; and learning that false reports have been circulated relative to the adjustment of the difficulty between Major Camp and Gen. Woolfolk, and to [ shew the manner by winch it was effect ed, and to put a stop to all falsehoods, I make these statements: After the parties had reached the ground, I, without the Knowledge or consent of Major Camp, j called upon (ten. \\ ooltolk, in order, if ! possible, to adjust the difficulty existing between them. From Gen. Woolfolk I received die basis of a reconciliation which was, that Gen. Woolfolk was will ing to uiaKe acknowledgements to Major Camp—provided the challenge was with drawn for the purpose ot his doing so, and that Major Camp should withdraw cer tain abusive epithets derogatory to Ins character. I'his much 1 reduced to wri ting, and laid it before Major Camp. Major Camp at first objected to the with drawal of the challenge, in til he could know what acknowledgements General Woolfolk would make; and remarked, that it might he suspended for a short time; but upon being informed that a challenge was considered as an insupera ble bar to the party challenged, as long ns it was hanging over the person, he sat down and wrote a few lines correcting the General’s premises; in which he stated that he had u no recollection of bavins spoken of Gen. Woolfolk in disrespectful terms—that the abusive epithets used in the .State-House, were elicited by Gen. conduct—that he had spoken very freely ot Hen. W oolfolk’s conduct as a politi cian; that the words made use of, in the >tate-llouse, might he considered as w i.li draw n, as well as the challenge”! This was not addressed to any one; nor was it signed—merely intended to correct some fact; and to give Gen. \Y 00l folk an op portunity ot making such acknowledge ments as would satisfy Major Camp. | then carried this paper to Gen. Woolfolk, who expressed himself satisfied; and sent’ Major Camp an honorable acknowlcdge mnit in writing, that his (Woolfolk’s) conduct in making the attack in the State-House was precipitate and improper. Both papers were then signed; and the difficulty settled hi the honor und satisfac tion of both parties. Then.
