be preserved and we be made to do seemingly
with willingness that which it would be mad
ness to refuse. By a continued course of j
partial legislation to the detriment of slave
labor, accompanied with harassing discus
sions for the purpose of fomenting excitement
and swelling the storm of prejudice against
us already pervading the civilized world, we
will finally realize in the language of Mr.
tyiay that slavery is “a foul blot” upon our
tountry. The known feelings and opinions
oi Mr. Clay ou slavery will be far from act
ing as obstacles to these anti-slavery tenden- I
cies. J hey are referred to here, not simply
lor the purposes of idle reprobation— not in
the idle spirit of fault-finding for his indivi
dual opinions and feelings; but in what is
sought to be a dispassionate investigation, it 1
is to examine their effect upon a great and vi
tal question in the contingency supposed of
his election to the Presidency. Mr. Clay is
known toentertain theoretical opinions on the
question of slavery identical with the aboli
tionists. W bile he sets his face against any
attempt on their part by violence, and in de- |
rogation of the constitution, to abolish the in
stitution of slavery among us, he openly avows
it to be a curse, ‘The deepest stain upon the cha
racter of our country,”and bason all proper i
occasions shown a disposition to aid in its ab
olition. His action on this subject in the con- i
vention to revise the constitution of Kentucky j
is referred to in confirmation of this. The
misfortune of the case is, that he will be look
ed to, as sanctioning the propriety of aboli
tion, and pronouncing it practicable. This
will encourage the constant efforts tending to 1
this result, and though he* may not be favora- 1
b!e to all the means adopted to accomplish it, i
the abolitionists arc sure of ids warm synipa- j
thics for the final realization of their dream of !
universal freedom.
Fanaticism on all moral questions is per- '
haps but the excess of a virtue. It is founded :
in good motives, and impelled forward in its
inception by right feelings. But it is not the
less a weakness, since it destroys the discrim- '
inaling powers and practical capacities of the
mind. It is not the less a crime since it will !
blind and overwhelm the judgment and the 1
conscience, and will give rise to the most ca
lamitous and atrocious crimes, without the
slightest misgivings of the heart. While, {
therefore, it is bootless to retort upon onr re
vilers the calumnious and vindictive epithets
they lavish upon us, it behooves us narrowly
to watch every circumstance that can add to
arrayed the already too powerful combinations
against us.
Had the sympathies of Mr. Clay been with
the south, and not with the anti-slavery party, ;
instead of seeking to terrify ns by pourtrayfng •
the dangers of collision with foreign powers |
growing out of our movements for the annex
ation of Texas, we would have looked to him i
boldly to array himself upon the side of the ;
persecuted south. We should have looked to |
him to use the manly language w hich burst I
from him in his palmier days when no dreams i
of presidential honors disturbed bis vision— |
and no necessity of propitiating northern fa
natics curbed bis tongue. He would have
used language similar to that which electrified
the country, in bis speech on the line of the
Perdido river.
“But the gentleman reminds us that Great
Britain, the ally of Spain, may be obliged, by
her connexion with that country, to take part !
with her against us, and to consider this mea- i
sure of the President as justifying an appeal
to arms. !Sir, is the time never to arrive
when we may manage our own affairs with
out the fear of insulting His Britannic Majes
ty? Is the rod of British power to be for ever
suspended over our heads? Docs Congress
put on an embargo to shelter our rightful
commerce against the piratical depredations
committed upon it on the ocean—we are
immediately warned of the indignation of of- j
fended England. Is a law of non-intercourse
proposed—the whole navy of the haughty
mistress of the seas is made to thunder in our (
cars. Does the President refuse to continue
a correspondence with a minister who violates
the decorum belonging to his diplomatic char- i
actor, by giving and deliberately repeating an
affront to the whole nation—we are instantly
manaced with the chastisement which En
glish pride will not fail to inflict. Whether
we assert our rights by sea, or attempt their
maintenance by land—whithersoever we turn
ourselves, this phamtoni incessantly pursues '
us. Already has it had too much influence
on the councils of the nation. It contributed
to the repeal of the embargo—that dishonor
able repeal, which has so much tarnished the
character of our government. Mr. President,
I have before said on this floor, and now take
occasion to remark, that I most sincerely
desire peace and amity with England: that I
even prefer an adjustment of all differences
with her. before one with any other nation.—
But if she persists in a denial of justice to us,
or if she avails herself of the occupation of
West Florida to commence war upon us. I
trust and hope that all hearts will unite in a !
bold and vigorous vindication ot our rights,” !
The time was when this fervent appeal
would awaken a patriotic thrill, and call forth
a united and cordial response from every Ame
rican bosom—when faction would stand re- i
buked and silenced, beneath the rallying cry i
which summoned to the defence of our coun
try and her institutions. There is now a sad !
degeneracy from the purer and better days of !
the republic. The lust of office, the greedi
ness for government bounties, and the degra- |
ding proclivity to man-worship, are poisoning •
the fountains of pure patriotism. Some of ;
our great men have contributed, in a fearful I
degree, by their public career and private cha- !
racters, to this deterioration. Henry Clav of j
1811, in the prime of his intellect and elo- I
qucnce, is not the Henry Clay of IS 14. We '
behold him now—a scheming politician—an |
itinerant eleclioneerer —a reviler of his rivals
and opponents —a restless vindictive old man,
with a heart sickened and diseased by hope de
ferred, and consuming with the fires of a des
perate ambition. The time is at hand when
the great prize for which he has struggled so
recklessly, having forever eluded his grasp,
he will feel that desolation that came over the
soul pf Cardinal Wolsey. Looking hack j
upon the bright memories of the past, in the
same spirit will he exclaim:
“Nay then farewell,
1 have touched the highest point of all ray greatness, l
j And from the full meridian of my glory,
I ha>le now tomy setting”

EATONTON, July 2, 1844.
The Democratic Association of Putnam
I county, met at the Court House in Eatonton,
on Tuesday 2nd instant. The day being fa
vorable the meeting was largely attended by
the citizens of the county, and our friends feel
assured from the enthusiasm manifested, that
the omens of future good are increasing in
i old Putnam. The association being called to
order, Mr. Wiggins offered the following pre
amble and resolutions, which were unani
mously adopted.
Whereas, Reports have been circulated in
the public prints that the f riends of annexa
tion in Putnam County, are in favour of dis- i
solving the Union rather than fail in accom
plishing that object.
Be it therefore resolved, That said report
is unfounded in truth, and that the friends of
Texas in Putnam County, fondly cherish the
Union of the states, as the “sheet anchor of j
their safety.”
Resolved, That the secretary of this meet
ing transmit the above resolution to those
1 papers which have circulated said report, and
request its publication as an act of justice.
After the passage of the above resolutions, 1
the meeting was addressed by N. Bass, Dr.
Branham and others, with great cheering and
| applause.
John F. Adams, Esq. handed in the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved, That we heartily approve the I
proposition ofour friends of Jasper, for holding
a young men’s convention of the friends of ;
Texas, and that the President appoint
delegates to attend said convention.
\Vh ich blank on motion of H. M. Trippe,
Esq. was filled by the President, appointing j
all the young men of the county, who were
democrats, as delegates, and requesting all |
the old men to attend.
Dr. Branham moved, that this association |
hold its next meeting at the Half Acre, and
that our friends from Jones and Jasper coun
ties be invited to attend.
Accordingly the association adjourned to i
meet at the Half Acre on the first Tuesday in i
August. GEN. BLEDSOE, President.
J. M. Adams, Secretary.

“53“ CATCH-PENN V LITER AT U KE.-*-Of all ,
the humbugs and impositions practised upon the |
dear unsophisticated people of the age, this system
of penny literature and shilling books, is the great
est. Aristocratic and purse-proud readers are made
to condescend to deal out a poor man’s ponce in
stead of the exclusive liberty of thumbing the Al
mighty Dollar.—Outrageous privilege ! Down with
equality !—down with cheap books ! —down with
trash ! —down with the Literary Depot. Know
ledge is a commodity only intended for the higher
grades, at the command of dollars—not cents; this
being the case, books must rise, to preserve the
Republic, pure and uncontaminated, in education,
morals and original innocence and purity. Sup
plies will be cut off in future from the Hottentots,
and many portions of the uncivilized world, since
my interesting friend and penny-a-liner of the Ham-
I burg Journal has let the cat out of the bag. in good
j humour, but void of authority. It lias been my pur

OBlTUAßY. —Departed this life, on the 30th
ult.. PHILIP H. MANTZ, Esq., in the 57th year
of his age.
The deceased was a native of Edgefield District,
i South Carolina, where be resided till after his mar
riage, and in 1816 removed with his family to this
city. His amiable qualities in the various relations
of husband, master, and neighbor justly endeared
him to a numerous circle of friends and acquain
tances ; those with whom he was the most intimate,
being the best qualified duly to appreciate his
character; and especially will he long be held in
grateful remembrance, by the many recipients of
his bounty; having been always ready to aid the
distressed, and bestow charities on the necessitous.
For the ia*t thirty-four years, the deceased was a
member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, during
which time, he adorned his profession of Christiani
ty, by an orderly walk, and consistent deportment;
and though not exhibiting the outward signs of the
full measure of spiritual grace enjoyed by many,
yet he lived in the constant possession of that in
ward peace which alone results from a conscious
ness of sins forgiven, and was prepared, on all pro
per occasions, to give a reason for the hope within
him. It was his good fortune not to be suddenly
called away, but for six years had been admonish
. ed. of his approaching end, by the premonitory'
symptoms of consumption ; which became a seated
1 di-ease about ten months since, and imitcrc.eptibly.
but gradually, debilitated his system, till within the
J last month he was confined to his bed.
During his illness he neither repined nor uttered
a murmur at the dispensation of providence, but
i bore the affliction with Christian meekness and for- |
titude ; often assuring those friends around him of
his preparation to obey the summons from time to ,
j eternity, w henever it should please God to call him;
and that lie entertained no fear on the subject. He
often conversed on the probabilities of a speedy dis
solution, giving directions as to this wishes, when ;
the event should take place, with all the calmness !
generally evinced by persons about ordinary busi
ness transactions; and, finally, when death ap- j
proached he was undismayed, and being conscious ■
to the last, breathed out his life and surrendered up
his spirit without a groan or struggle; leaving a ;
disconsolate companion and many friends to mourn
their irreparable loss.
.Mr. Mantz, like other men. could not claim ex
emption from the common frailties of human na
ture ; and in the course of his varied business trans
actions, which for years were extensive, may not |
have been so fortunate as to escape making some |
enemies; and of such, if any there be, it is but i
charitable to believe that with his mortal remains |
are interred every unkind feeling; and the cause j
of their origin attributed to errors of the head rather j
than imperfections of the heart. J.

! AUGUSTA MARKET, JULyTiT^
j COTTON.—Since the receipt of the advices per !
: the Britannia, the market has exhibited increased !
; activity, and prices have improved fully a quarter
; of a cent. Sales to a considerable extent have j
j been effected at prices ranging from 4f to 6| cents,
i A superior article would bring a higher rate. An j
; active demand prevails, but holders manifest some !
1 indisposition to sell.
NEW YORK, July 6.— Cotton. —By the steamer :
j Britannia, we have advices from Liverpool to the i
j 19th, and Havre to the 17th ultimo. At Liverpool,
! the imports for the fortnight previous had reached !
300,000 bales, but with a fair demand, partly spe- i
dilative, the market was well sustained, and prices I
adv anced id. from the lowest point. At Havre, for i
the week ended 7th June, prices declined If. a 2f.; !
i but for that ended the 14th, the market was more :
| buoyant, and this decline was recovered.
In this market, the transactions since our last |
i have been extremely small, say 350 bales Wednes- |
; day, and yesterday but 250. The accounts by the
Britannia being deemed favourable, a more buoy- !
i ant feeling is visible in the article, and some hold- !
| ers have refused prices they would have accepted j
before their arrival. The sales, which reach but |
j 600 bales, are too unimportant to particularize—fur ,
i the week they reach 3400 bales,
j The arrivals have been, 969 bales. ;

BALTIMORE, July s.— Fish. —The demand for
Mackerel is not so brisk as it was, and the price of
No. 3 has declined a shade. We now quote No. 1
at §11; No. 2at §9.50 and No. 3at §6 a $6.121. —
11 errrings sell slowly at $4.25 per bhl. Shad are sel
dom inquireed for. Holders ask $6.50 a $6.75 for
j trimmed No. 1. The inspections of the week com
i prise 20 bbls. Shad, 800 bbls. Herrings.
Howard Street Flour. —There has been but little
i demand for Howard street Flour tiiis week, and
sales have been effected wilh difficulty. Parcels
of strictly fresh ground are held at $4.25 with small
j sales only At the close of last week a small sale of
| old flour was made at $4, and this week about 2000
I barrels have been taken at the same price. The
latter description is now offered freely by holders
I generally at the same rate. We quote to-day to
| embrace the range of the market as follow's,viz: fresh
I ground at $4.25 and old at $4. The receipt price
| is $L
| City Mills Flour. —We note sales within a few
! days past, to the extent of perhas 4000 bbls., made
j of new wheat, at $4.50 per bhl.
| Susquehanna Flour. —A sale of 650 bbls. fresh
j ground on Wednesday at $4,25 per bhl.
Corn. —Sales of good parcels of Maryland white
| are making to-day at 38 cents, and we quote accord
| ingly. The prices of Md. yellow have been uni
j form throughout the week at 41 a 42 cts., and we
i quote the same to-day. A sale of Penna. yellow
on Wednesday at 43 cents.
1 Bacon —There has been rather less inquiry for
Bacon during the week, and the sales, particularly
of prime descriptions, have been generally small.
Prices have not undergone any change however, j
and we again quote strictly prime parcels as follows, '
viz: Western assorted at 4J cents; Sides at 4i a 5 I
censs; Shoulders at 31 a 4 cents, and Hams at 5 a 7 j
cents. A sale of a parcel of about 25.000 lbs. as
sorted, selected from a lot not strictly prime, was j
made a day or two since at 44 cents, and we note a j
sale of 15 hhds. shoulders inis morning of fair quali
tv at 3* cents. Ihe prices of such parcels of Bacon \
as are below the standard of prime, range widely *
j according to the condition of the article, and we
deem it unnecessary to make any special reference
to them. The following are the rates at which the ;
1 best descriptions of Baltimore cured Bacon are sel- '
j ingi viz: Liams at ■ cents; Sides at 5 cents, and I
I Shoulders at 4 cents.
Butter and Lard. —There has been but little de- ■
mand for keg Butter and the sales have been small.
The article ranges from 7 to 11 cents according to i
quality. The transactions in Lard have not been j
large. Small sales of Western No. 1 in kegs have I
been made at Gt cents, anil some larger parcels have j
been offered at 64 cents. We quote to-day as fol
lows, viz: No. 1 in kegs at 64 a 6i cents and the
same description in barrels at 64 cents.
