Whigs are right and patriotic in taking that
position, the convention should have said so.
If they do not think it right and patriotic to
take this course, the convention should have
rebuked the Whig press of the tState for hav
ing committed them to that position. Thai
press has of late preserved a panic-stricken si
lence on the subject of the rubious tariff that
the Democrats have imposed — it has raised
tut a faint and feeble cry upon the blighting
influence of the Democratic subtreasury that
was to overwhelm the country in universal
bankruptcy, and connected with the ware
housing system,and the revenue tariff, would
wither our commerce, destroy our markets
for agricultural produce, and paralize the
industry of our people. The whole force of
the Whig press has been turned against the
administration —the causes of the war. and
its mode of conducting it. But it seems the
convention does not proclaim that war to be
unjust and aggressive. They knew, or fear
ed, that the people would sustain no party
which openly took this position. Yet that
party is committed to this position by not dis
tinctly repudiating it.
The Convention pays a h'gh and deserved
compliment to the administrative capacity of !
his Excellency Gov, Crawford, whose good
fortune it has been to render efficient service
to the State in its financial affairs. But it as
serts that it has been some magical applica
tion of whig principles, and not simply of the
energies of a strong maid and sound judgmen ,
to the financial affairs of the State,winch pro
duced these beneficial results. What those
principles are, the Convention does not deign
to stale. But it indu'ges in a fanciful sort
of hope that a in litary man by the same ma
gical application can produce the same “be
nign influences.” The extraordinary quali
ties thus ascribed to these unnamed whig
principles will rival any set forth in the most
extravagant patent medicine advertisement.
We wonder if General Clinch found the
sanative herbs which compose this whig de- j
coo I ion, in the swamps of Florida while rhas- j
ing life Indians. There was a good school !
to learn the strategies of war, perhaps, and
there General Clinch acquired considerable i
mdilary reputation. Far be it from us to
snatch from him one of his laurels. But the
Florida war was, one would think, not *he i
best school to study finance, or the “benign
influences” of whig principles. It General
Clinch is to prove in itself a good financier, he
will owe it to d une nature in giving him a
strong intellect—sound Judgment and practi
cal knowledge. If he is deficient in these,
and we have never heard that he was very
marvellously great in point of intellect or fi
nancial skill, ail the vague and mysterious
“benign influences,” real or supposed, which
are ascribed, rather poetically we think, to
whig principles ,\\ ill not infuse the necessary |
inspiration.
The Whig Convention spread their sails
very wide to catch the popular breose—of
rather spread their nets very wide to catch
gudgeons, in their resolution complimentary
to Mr. Calhoun. How many Calhoun demo
crats will be induced thereby to vote tor
General Clinch remains to be seen. We are
unable to form the slightest estimate of their
number. As the real motive of the compli
ment to Mr. Calhoun is not gratitude fur his
political services to the country, but. some
supposed benefit to tiie whigs by a course
Which introduced confusion into the ranks of
the democrats, why did not the whigs also
pass a vote s os thanks to Col. Thomas Hart
Benton. He has, in our been as
great a disturber of the peace and harmony
of the democratic family as Mr. Calhoun,
and probably his course may serve as much
to the benefit of the whigs, if any benefit at
all is to result to them.
When we say that gratitude for political i
services to the country is not the real motive i
o r the whigs, we feel in this view be- !
cause gratitude is a homely virtue of v\ h-ch the
whigs have shown themselves magnanimous
ly independent , in their treatment of Col. Win.
C. Dawson, He has claims upon that party
that should not have been disregarded. We
do not care here to be his eulogist, though it
would always be nut pleasure on appropriate
occasions to express our high appreciation of
his talents, and his character as a thorough
gentleman. It is for the whigs to place their
appreciation upon his long, arduous and dis
tinguished services to that party through
good report and through evil report, in pe
riods of its greatest gloom and disaster, as
well as in the-halcyon days of its prosr.e i y
We think that while the whigs voted that
the Wilmot Proviso was unjust and unconsti
tutional, they did not dare do less, and were
afraid to do more. They dared not pass over
in silence toat gross outrage upon the feel
ings and rights of the South. But their not
using such language ofstrong condemnation
as to convince their Wilmot Proviso allies o r
the Worth, that they' will in no event con.-eut
to a Wilmot Proviso candidate being foisted
upon them, was a dereliction of duty. |t i s
notorious that the whigs of the North, who
are all Wilmot Proviso men, will desire and
will endeavor to force upon the party a Wil
mot Proviso candidate. John M. Butts ofVir
ginia, would not pledge himself not to vote
for such a candidate. Does not the negtpet of
the V\ big Convention of Georgia to give
such a pledge for their party indicate that
they are unprepared to give it? That they
are unwilling to say that in no event will
l iey vote for such a man? Does it not indi
cate that if the National V\nig Convention
should force such a man upon them, they
will vote for him? It does very clearly.
*1 his being the case, the compliment to Gee.
Taylor of recommending him for the Presi.
Jency it idle —it ie perhaps heartless and in-
sincere, and is done, not with any expectation
of nominating him; but simply to avail them
selves, for the present canvass,of the popularity
of his name. 'The w higs here know that Gen
eral Taylor is opposed by the great body of
the whigs of the North, because he is a slave
holder, and as a matter of course an anti-
Wilmot Proviso man. Therefore they will
not support him. The strength of the whig
party is in the Wilmot Proviso States, No
whig can be elected without (heir votes This
the wings of the South know. The whigs
of Georgia know it full well. The demon
stration therefore made by them in favor of
General Taylor, is one that we think clearly
indicates that they have no very sanguine
expectation that they will eventually vote
for him. General Taylor’s prospect for the
vole of Georgia would have been greatly in
creased had the whigs passed such a resolu
tion as was passed by the Democratic Con
vention —to wit, that they would vote for no
candidate for the Presidency w ho did not dis
tinctly repudiate the principles of the Wil
mot Proviso. Tins would have given Gen.
Taylor more strength before the Whig Na
tional he permits his name to
g ) before it, and before the whole South, if
he runs as an independent candidate, than
he now possibly can have, when the whigs
of Georgia thus show themselves lied to the
Wilmot Proviso whigs, and consequently
measurably separa'ed from General Taylor.

The great demand for this most important work,
U>f which thousands are sold; has compelled the
issue of a another edition. It is intended especi
ally for the married, as it discloses important se
creis which should he known to them particularly.
Here every female can discover the causes, symp
toms, an 1 the most efficient remedies and most
certain mode of cure, in every complaint to which
her sex is subject.
It is an important question to the married why it
is that we behold so many married females sickiy,
| debilitated, and prostrated ? as also the causes;
| and whether they are susceptible of remedy. They
will here find those important matters, connected
with discoveries in medical and physiological sci
ence. which meet this question.
This work is destined to he in the bands of every
wife and mother who has a regard fur her own
health and welfare, as well as that of her hus-
Dand.
The revelations contained in Its pages have al
•eatly proved a Messing to thousands, as the innu
merable letters received by the author will at
test.
It is of course impossible to convey more fully,
in a public journal, the various subjects treated of,
as they are of a nature strictly intended for the
married or those contemplating marriage; neither
is it necessary, since it is every one’s duty to be
come possessed of knowledge, whereby the suf
ferings to which a wife, a mother, or a sister may
be subject, can be obviated.

REMARKS.—BeIow Will he found our usual
tables in relation to last year’s crop, fn>ra which
it Will be seen tin • the deficiency up to the
i late; t dates received is 273.4* hales—hut if vve
; take the deficiency in pounds, averaging the bales
at 450 lbs to the hale; a Inch is over ihe average,
the deficiency so faf w ill tie 306,376 bales.
Os the present year's crop it is entirely too early
to form anything like a correct opinion, hut from
present, appearances, there is every prospect the
crop will be a short one. The late spring experi
enced in all the Cotton growing region, material
ly put the plant back in growth, and tht stafid ob
tained *in many instances after re-planting) has not
been good. In this State, and South Carolina vve
hear ranch complaint of the backwardness of the
crop, and the difficulties experienced by planters
in keeping the grass under, anil it is the opinion of
all we have conversed with, that from present ap
pearances, tlie crop in this State will he a short
one compared with last year’s, even should vve be
favored with a late fall.

COTTON.— During the past month we im\e
had a quiet Cotton market. Before the receipt of
the steamer’s a vices of the 4 1 li ult. then? was lit- ;
tie or nothing done; after their receipt, being favor
able to Cotton, a better demand sprung up and
holders were enabled to realize all of 1 cent per
lb. on previous quotations; hut at this advance
there were few seders, and buyers finning it dif
ficult to operate, unless hy picking tip small par
dels here and there, in a measure withdrew from
the market, and during the past week the business i
transacted has been very limited* both buyers and I
sellers appealing anxipus to deceive the steamer’s I
advices of the I9th ult., now due. before operat
ing further. At the present moment, and during
the past month, hut little Cotton lias been put
on the market, and the sales having been confined i
to only such parcels as factors received positive or- I
tiers to sell, it is impossible to give anything like j
correct quotations. We would remark, however, \
that purchasers have taken all the middling offer- |
ed at 10? a 101, middling fair at K)|, and fair at !
11 cents, hot at these prices but little Colton could
be purchased in this m irket- A sale wis made
yesterday of a planter’s crop, 250 square bales, at
1 U cents.

GROCERIES,—The past month, as is general
ly the case in June, has been a dull one in fids
market, the business transacted being confined
principally to the filling of small country orders.
The stocks of all description's were never belter at
this season of the year than at present, and every
arrival from below adds to it.
CORN.—The advices from Europe per last
steamer have had an unfavorable effect on this ar
ticle, and prices have receded weekly, and the
highest rate that could be obtained yesterday was
70 cents per bushel, sacks included. Purchasers,
however, are reluctant operators at this price, and
a number refuse to pay over 65 cents.
I LOUR.—The above remarks are also applica
ble to Flour, and the highest price that could be
obtained yesterday was ssl to 61, according to
quality.
BACON.—There is a fair demand for Bacon,
but prices are a little easier. Sales have been
made during the last week of lots at 8 cents the
hog round. Good clear sides would bring 9 cents,
S ALT Fair supply oh iiand—a sale of 500
sacks was made this week from wharf a* $1.55 per
oack from store it is held at $1,62. Loose is re
tailing at 45 cents per bushel.
MOLASSEss.—Fair stock of Cuba and N. Or
eans, but not much demand at the present mo-
Iment. Cuba is held at 23 a 30c. from store, and
New Orleans at 40 a 43, according to qualify and
quantity.
SUGARS.—Stock of all descriptions good. No
large sales to report this week. We quote Musco
vado 8 a 10; Porto Rico and St. Croix 9 a 9i; New
Orleans 8 a 9.
EXCHANGE.—Our banks are now selling
Sight Checks oil Northern cities at i per ct. prcra.

New York at f prem.—but there is very little of

FREIGHTS. —We have no change to notice in
the rates to Savannah or Charleston—nor is there
much Colton offering to either place. The River
is in good uoalable condition.
NE W ORLE AN S, June 30. C otto *• —A rriv
ed since the 25 th mst. lio4 bales. Cleared in the
same time, 6230 bales—making a reduction in
stock ot 5086 bah ft, and lea-mg on hand, inclu
sive of all on shipboard not cleared on the 29 ih
mst. a stock of 1-4*2,077 bales.
At the time ot making up oUr last report the
receipt of a telegraphic summary of the Cambria’s
accounts had quite unsettled tiie market, as an
advance at Liverpool was reported, but to vrhal
exact extent it was impossible to determine, and
all parties were looking anxiohsiy for their letters
and commercial circulars. These came to hand
o;i Saturday, hut at too late an hour to ad nit of
am business of consequence, and we could onlv
learn of sales to the extent of 100 bales. The fa- '
vorable tenor accounts induced holders
to raise their pretensions still further, and on
M Miday they generally claimed an advance of J
a | of a cent upon the rates current before receipt
of the steamer’s adv.ces. Very few buyers came
forward, however, and those only for small par
cels, and ttie Sales were confined to some 850
bales, in which the advance obtained was about
|a £ a cent per lb. Yesterday was rainy during
a great part ot the day, and few or no buyers up !
pearing in market only a tew small lot-, amount
ing to about 400 bales were disposed of, at easier
rales than on the day previous. Indeed, what
with the absence ot foreign orders by the steam
er, the heavy stock, and the a Ivaneed period of
tne season, the mai ket seemat tending back to the
position which it held before receipt of the news;
and so inconsiderable are the transactions and
so unsettled tire prices, that we find it necessary
to omit our general table of quotations particu
larly as the few sales made ha- e been confined ex
clush ely to the Low Middling to Good Middling
qualifies. Fhere have ranged, as yearly ad we
can ascertain from the tfifimg business done,
trom 9* a 10 cents per lb. though some assert that
they h ive bought small parcels ot'low middling at
9| cents peril). The total sales of the past three
d rys sum up only 1350 hales, taken lor England,
the Continent and the North.
