say to you, both in regard to Mr. Calhoun’s con
aistency and my own constancy ; and I am sure
you will unite with me. in the hope that the
State Rights party every where , may be firm and
consistent ; that as they have remained true to
the faith of their fathers, amidst the heresies and
persecutions of the past, they will not falter
now, on a great question of deliverance and li

they will not yield the Constitution of their

The peculiar virtues of the Tomato in all biliary

those particular virtues had never been obtained

Was ascertained by Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, who
has recently produced a concentrated compound
extract of Tomato, uniting within itself all the vir

of Calomel itself.

DEATH OF A VENERABLE EDITOR.
We learn from the Baltimore Sun, that. Mr.
’I HOMAS BRADFORD died in Philadelphia, on
Tuesday afternoon, Bth inst., at the advanced age
of ninety-four years. Mr. Bradford entered upon
the profession of an editor in 1763, the year signal
ised liy the peace of Paris, which termina’ed that
bloody war called “The Old French War” in this
country, and “The Seven years’ War” in Europe.
During our Revolution, he Was Commissary’Gen
eral of the Pennsylvania Division, and printer to
the Continental Congress. The first was a very
important public trust, and proves the high estima
tion in which he was held for integrity and know
ledge of business The second shows that he was
favorably known to one of the worthiest bodies of
men that ever assembled for the good of mankind.
We presume that just before his death, he was the
oldest member of the editorial enrps in this coun
try, and perhaps the only person then living, in
any manner directly’ connected with thebody of
men that signed the Declaration of Independence.

John P. Osborne. Sag Harbor, New York, from

OCT The following is an extract of a letter from
the Washington correspondent of the Charleston
Mercury, dated May 10.
“Before Gen. Scott left Washington, he had
an interview with John Ross, and urged bin to
accompany him to the Cherokee country and
unite with him there in effecting a peaceable re
moval, on terms mutually satisfactory. He as
sured Ross of his protection in any event, and
pledged himself to suffer him at any time to
leave, even for the purpose, if he chose, of lead
ing his warriors to battle; but Ross declined the
overture, on the ground that Gen. Scott acted
under the orders of a superior to whom he was
acc luntable, who had not to his (Ross’) know
ledge, authorized the overture, and who would
not be bound by it. He also declared that he
would not do any thing which would recognize
the treaty; but that neither he nor his triends
had any idea of resisting its forcible execution.
It appears that the Indians are generally so hos
tile to the treaty, that they would withdraw their
confidence from Ross, uud perhaps sacrifice him,
if he should in any way countenance or recog
nize it. All negotiation between Ross and the
President on the subject has ceased; and on the
23d instant, the removal will be commenced un
der the direction of General Scott.”

TO THE PUBLIC.
The directors of the Savannah and Charleston
Steam Packet Company, having noticed some edi
torial remarks in the Charleston Courier of the
12th inst. in regard to the recent passage of the
steamers Pulaski and Georgia, from Baltimore, beg
leave to assure the public, on the statement of Capt.
Dubois, and several of the passengers who were on
hoard the Pulaski, that during the whole passage,
the steam was never raised above 26 inches, and
more frequently not above 16 to 19 inches, whereas
site could, w ith the greatest safety, carry 30 inches,
and iias done so, in the several passages she lately
made between this place and Charleston, when
there was no boat in company’ and consequently
no race to run. The directors are unwilling that
the Pulaski should ever be used as a race boat, with
passengers on hoard ; her reputation for speed is
sufficiently well established, and there is no fear,
hut that she will, in despite of all opposition, and
without the necessity at any time of putting out
all her powers, land her passengers at the point of
destination, within the lime specified in Iter adver
tisements. Hence the must positive orders have
been given to her commander, that racing is, on no
; account whatever, to be countenanced or tolerated,
i and they assure travellers, that the passage to and i
I from Baltimore, shall be performed without refer- !
' encetothe steamer Georgia, or to any’ oilier boat '
that may run against the Pulaski.
It w ill be borne in mind, that the present position j
of the two boats before the public, was not sought !
by the Savannah and Charleston Steam Packet
Company’. The Pulaski was expressly built, and :
at great expense, to afford t > our citizens, a speedy
safe and direct conveyance to the city ofjßalti
more, touching at Charleston, aline on which there
was previously no boat; and it must, be obvious to
all, that the course pursued hy the owners of the
Georgia, is to compel all other boats to subserve
the interest of their monopoly to the Chesapeake
Bay’. It would be needless for the ow .ers of the
Pulaski, to change her day of departure, which they
would at once do, and thus remove every appre
hension as to any race being run, but it is known,
on good authority, that the agent at Charleston, has
positive instructions to alter the day for the Geor
gia, to any day and hour I hat may he fixed upon for
the Pulaski. Further comments are unnecessary.

Savannah, May 14, 1838.
[From the Apalachicola Gazette, May 10.]
Thef flowing statement taken from the books of
the Custom House, will give our friends abroad a
faint idea ofthe increasing importance of our port.
Our whole exports last year was 36,000 bags. Not
withstanding the efforts ofuurfricnds at St. Joseph,
they will this year exceed 50,000. And from the
amount of new lands being brought into cultivation
this year, the amount will be increased full 25 per
cent, the ensuing year.
It lias been estimated, by’ those best acquainted
with the subject, that not one-sixteenth of the good
farming lands on the Chattahoochee have yet been
brought into cultivation; and on the Flint, less than
one-twentieth. It was only until within the last two
or three years, that the attention of emigrants was
directed to this region; and the Indian difficulties
then breaking out. its settlement has been hitherto
much retarded. The tide of emigration is now,
however, fast setting this way ; and we hazard lit
tle in saying that the present exports of Cotton from
this port, will be quadruped in f. >ur years.

NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.
Thursday, May 10, 6 p. m.
This day the suspension act expired by limitation,
and the banks of the State of New York resumed
j specie payments in full, hut it has been attended as
i yet with no very’ remarkable results. There is
I prevalent a great feeling of confidence, and money
j among regular businessmen is plenty ; quite suffi
; eient for the present wants of trade. The hanks
; are said to discount sparingly’, but the offerings of
regular business paper are also sparingly made.
I There is a class of dealers with whom money was
! never plenty, not even in the day’s of wild expan
-1 siohs two years since. This class still prate ofthe
, “screw process,” but the work of resumption must .
; go on securely, especially at this time, when it is
i still matter of doubt Whether our southern neigh-
I hors will second the New York hanks—the north
j ern stales will doubtless follow in course.— Herald.
Friday, May 11—6 p. m.
By’ the England, arrived early this morniug, the
news is rather Unfavorable. Cotton has again de
clined Id. and was expected to go down still furt h
er. In another column Will be seen, in a letter
‘rom our correspondent, a statement, showing the
amount of cotton held by five different firms. On
the day ofour latest dates, there were near 58,000
hales in the hands of the 1 T nited States Bank agent;
140,000 bales in the hands of others. These latter
sell as fast as received. On the contrary, the Uni
ted Stales Bank cottons are kept out of the market,
in expectation of a revival of business; audit was
doubted whether the hank had the ability to hold
back this large amount such a length of time on the
uncertain prospect ofa revival of business heie, to
create a fresh demand for the raw material there,
when the storehouses are already overflowing with
manufactured goods, waiting orders from this coun
try. in consequence of this view ofthe case* Uni
-1 led States Bank stoc s declined in London to JL‘25 2s
fid; and .illother American stocks were heavy’
Money was plenty in London at 2i a 3 per cent, hut
only’for first rate bills The England brings near
$1,000,000 —of which $750,000 come to Prime,
, Ward & King, and the rest to other firms. This
amount fulfils the contract originally n ade to ship
jt)1,000,000 to this country.
Money’ in Wall street is very plenty’. The Mer
chant's Bank has discounted very liberally, and it
is thought the other banks will pursue the same
course. Inland exchanges have again improved;
it is quoted on Philadelphia at 24 a 3 per cent; and
Western money has improved from 1 to 4 percent.
A fair extent of business has been done at the
stock exchange; aud the prices were generally
looking up, with the exception of United States
Bank, which receded 4 per cent in consequence of
the English news; as this institution lias $5,000,000
dependent on the price of cotton, a fall of 4 in that
article is liable to affect the stock.

\ COTTON. —We have had a good demand for
this staple during the week, and sales were on the
1 increase up to 'J uesday last, when we received
advices from Liverpool to the I9th ult, by’ the ship
England, at New’ York, which represented that
market in a dull state, with a slight decline in
prices. After the reception of this intelligence,
our market became rather dull for all descriptions
under prime—purchasers not showing much wil
lingness to operate at former prices, and holders
refusing to submit to a decline—in which state it
closed yesterday. The sales from warehouses,
however, have been fair, amounting in all to about
2,250 hales, which were disposed of as follows: 32
bales at 8 cents, 139 at 84, 165 at 84, 33 at 81, 60
nt 81, 31 at 84, 273 at 9, 83 at 94, 557 at 94, 388 at
91, 256 at 94, 48 at 94, 79 at 10, 43 at 104, 14 at 104,
and 6 bales Nankeen nt 124 cents. We quote 74
a 10 cents —remarking, however that there are
several lots on hand that if put on the market would
readily bring 104 a 104 cents —this latter descrip
tion is what the strikers call the real gism, put in
up in square bales
GROCERIES.—Fair business doing with the
country. By- wholesale, the only transaction that
has come to our knowledge was the sale of a lot of
about 60 hhds. Cuba Molasses on the wharf, at 35
certLs —60 days.
EXCHANGE.—We are gratified in reporting
that Exchange on all quarters has fallen, and we
hope soon to see it fall still further. Sight Checks on
New York can now be had at 8 per cent. prem.—l
day’s sight, 74; on Pailadelphia 5; Charleston 4;
Savannah par a 4 per cent. prem. U. S. Bank
notes at 6; Treasury Drafts at 8 per cent, with in
terest added ; specie 54 a 6.
FREIGHTS.—The same old rates continue to
be asked, viz : Savannah -?1 per bale; Chalestonby
Rail Road $1 50 for round, and $1 25 for square
bales. Our river is getting low, and if we are not
si total y- favored with rain, steamboats ofthe largest
class will not be able to reach our wharves, with
out the assistance of lighters.
Extiacl from a Circular received in this city, dated
“LIVERPOOL, APRIL 12, 1838
“Sir: —The accounts received from the United
States are so discouraging, that no immediate im
provement can be expected in business here or on
the Continent, for it has become very- evident that
the unfavorable state of business in the new world
has a very great effect upon that of the old world,
and it is in vain to look for the former activity until
money matters in the United Stales have been set
tled upon a more decided basis. The return to
cash payments is looked forw-ard to with great in
terest; and it is to be hoped that the diminished
quantity of gold which will be sent from Europe
may not throw any obstacle in the way.
“The Manchester market continues to be most
unfavorably- situated; Yarns as well as goods have
experienced a further decline, and meetings ofthe
Spinners have been held at various places to con
cert measures for reducing the hours of work by
one-third, which, however, would only be resorted
to under the most extreme necessity. A partial re
duction, w-e believe, has taken place nt Stockport
by limiting the work t» daylight.
“We have had a large import during the week,
(six vessels remain to be reported,) and this wind
will speedily bring most of the ships loading in the
United States ; the stocks at. the end of the month
will therefore compare most unfavorably with those
of last year. Possibly we may then have a pause,
the advice of falling markets on this side, and high
freights from want of ships, may limit shipments
in the United States, and as the imports during May
and June, 1837, were very heavy, viz : 210,000
bags, the stocks by the end of June may, perhaps,
compare less unfavorably. We cannot, however,
build any hopes of improvement of present prices
upon this circumstance, as the market seems on
the eve of giving tvaly under the effect of large
supplies and little demand. Unless speculators step
in when the bulk of the shipments arrive to share
in the trouble of keeping stock, our market get er
ally gives way during such periods. At present
speculators seem not to have sufficienl inducement
to operate, a decline of 4d per lb. might bring them
forward.
“The amount of sales (for five days) is more than
was expected, there must, therefore, have been
some secret sales during the first part of the week;
during the last days the market has been flat and
particularly so to-day-; we reduce our quotations of
American Cotton 4d to 4d per lb., but it is difficult
to make sales without a further concession. Bra- I
zils and Egyptians have been in fair request at
steady prices. Surats have experienced a good de
mand at last week’s rates.
“Accounts from Bombay continue to speak high
ly favorably of the new crop in quantity-, hut not
much is to be expected from thence before the se
cond half of the y’ear. The estimate of the last
crop in Egypt is considerably reduced, but it is so
decided the interest of the Pacha to produce this
impression, and there are few other materials to
form an opinion upon than his assertions, that it
would not be safe to depend too much upon it.”
LIVERPOOL, APRIL 14— Cotton.—' The import
for the week is 53,348 bales, namely, 52,987 from
the United States, 4533 from Brazil, 374 from Peru,
and 231 from the West Indies. The sales of the
w eek are 20,500 bags, of which there are taken on
speculation 1500 hags of American, and fur export
900 American and 650 Surat. The prices of Ame
rican Cotton are lowered 4d per lb.: in the prices
ofthe other kinds the reduction is only 4d per lb.
LIVERPOOL, April 17.—Since the 7th inst, the
date of our last circular, the transactions in Cotton
have been at least equal to the current consump
tion or beyond it. Still, buyers have had the ad- 1
vantage, and the midd'ing and low qualities have
further declined id per ib. The Continental de
mand for Yarn has not yet revived to any extent,
and the accumulation of the stocks of that article
at Manchester lias led to an apprehension that the
spinners will be obliged to reduce their working
hours—indeed this is said to have been already
done to some extent. The gloomy state of thing*
in the interior, as well as the discouraging accounts
about goods from the United States, and the unusu'
ally large supply of Cotton arrived, and on the
way, account for the depressed state of our mar
ket. Fair qualities may be quoted at G| a6L The
import since oup last lias again been large, making
tne supply into this port, since Ist January, 502JHH)
bales against 324.000 sinne period last season. The
import from the U. States is 436,000 bales, being
an increase of 170.000.
The stock in this port is estimated at 349,000 bales,
against 25n,000 last year The stock of American
is about 2j0,000 bales, or about 120,000 more than
last year. j\o change in ihe Cotton market. Tur

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 19—The sales since Fri
day amount to 12,0 H) bags, of which t. 500 are sold
to-day. In prices there is no alteration. The arri
vals are 9 vessels from New Orleans. 3 from Mo
bile, R from Savannah, 1 from New York, 1 from
Egypt, and 1 from Bombay.
IIRE. April 7.— Cotton —The activity which
prevailed in our market during the month of March,
had, as we previously noticed, caused much firm
ness in it towards ihe end of tlie month, and even a
small improvement on the descriptions of American
cottons of middling and above that class. The de
mand lias since continued good, and the sales reach
fully 1000 daily. Holders having offered but little
this week, the cho : ee of purchasers is limited, and
prices have a tendency io advance, particularly on
good descriptions, which have become scarce, and
even inferior qualities, which a few T weeks since,
had no fixed price, are now more readily taken at
fair rates. Purchases for transportation also, which
for some time past could not have been made to ad
vantage, owing to the want of means of convey
ance, can now be effected with promptitude and at
low rates.
The sales this week have been 5829 bales; viz;
2533 bales. Louisiana at 78f a 112 f 50; 930 do.
Mobile at 7jf a 103f50; 1835 Georgia. 82f 50 a 103;
25 Virginia, 46f: 21 Georgia, L. S. 375 f; and 430
Pernamhiic.o, at 112f50 a 125. The imports are
2/36 bales. Stock this day 39,000 bales, of which
31,400 are American, against 30,000 at the same
time last year.
MOBILE, May 12.— Cotton. —Arrived duritigthe
week, 2688 bales, and exported in the same period,
12,317 bales—leaving on hand and on shipboard
not cleared the stock of 69,065 bales, against 28,197
same period last season.
Operations in our market this week have been
confined to a few purchasers, dealing it is suppos
ed, for the United States Bank. They have near
ly swept the market, and though brokers held liber
al orders from individuals they were unable to fill
them. The sales amount to about 8,000 bales, at
an advance on fair qualities and upwards of 4c. per
Ib. and the market closes firmly at subjoined quo
tations. 'Plie stock on sale at present does not ex
ceed 2000- hales.
The receipts, it. will be perceived, are small
when the stage of the rivers and the number of ar
rivals from the interior are considered, and it is pro
bable, therefore, that the crop of South Alabama is
nearly exhausted. The receipt from this time to
the Ist of .October, 1837. was 13,685 hales. If we
take a number bearing the ratio with the receipt to
this t me 1838, as 13,685 bears to the receipt of this
time 1837, we shall have 17,000 bales as the re
ceipt from this lime to the Ist October, 1838. Ad
ding this to the 303,059 bales already arrived, and
we shall have for the crop of ’37 and ’3B, in round
numbers 320,000 ha'es—worth nearly thirteen mil
lions of dollars at S4O per bale.
