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. (iood Dividends, The Augusta Insurance & Banking Com pany and the Iron S eam Boat Company, have both declared dividends of four per cent,from the past six month’s operations. The Washington Union of Hie 3d inst. says —lt gives us great pain to announce the death of General William Armstrong, the able and respectable Indian Agent” Consul to Havre. The Baltimore Patriot of the 2 1 inst. says j —ft is currently rumored that Col. D ivies, , Mayor of Baltimore, is to receive the appoint- j merit of American Consul at Havre. This is I 1 an honorable and profitable station, and as a : good Whig can’t have it, we can have noob- I jection to the place being conferred upon the ; Mayor of our city, who is, to say the least, ■ as well qualified for the post as any one who can be found in the ranks of the President.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Freights. — Cotton, to Liverpool, per lb. 11-16 a J<l. i’o Havre, Ift a ifto.
