Your friend, JULIUS 0. ALFORD. From Hie f-rcergra I'tunecr. I’o die People ol fieorglrt. The (Sub Treasury Dill has been defeated hy llic vole of the House of Representatives. “ The serpent is scntchuj, hut not killed:” It will he urged again at the next Fcsaion, and at each suc ceeding,unloia the people lake the rnatier in thoir own hands, and indignantly put it down. J here is more at the bottom of this scheme, than lias yet met the public eye. It is said in a quarter entitled to lespect, that “the Sub Treaiuvy tr A can* Is the Hey lu an elective monarchy, and Ih ■ people should I'tiow I hit Jucl. The inleii' Imn uj' our rulers ije.u overturn mu institutions, and I heir “ infernal machine" is Jnlly adequate to the tank.” Hurtling as this idea is, there is , many reasons to believe it true. I have reasons which lo my mind, arc clear and convincing, lhal I thi n' is a scheme among person. high in avuhor jly at Washington, to subvert the (< avernment, in divide the I Inion ; and lie who can see n ‘thing extraordinary in the present slate ol things, has oh.'Cried them to hot lilt Io pnrpore. Why is it that this ruinous stale ol lire emrnncy is pertina , eiansly kept upon the country, and every mode of relief ii'j -clrd ! Why is the nefarious Huh Treas nry persisted in, after llic clearest demimslradons given hv the people ale ery election, that they aie opposed lu it ! While we are launlingly told that whether the law ho passed or not, the, s theme is in operation, and shall continue until the end of llm I’residendal lerm ! The object is plain ;it is lo produce a state ol general ruin and misery lo an extent which it is Imped will alienate the almeliuns of the people from their present happy form of government, and induce them to seek rebel from any change lhal may he oll’erod. The incvhahle efleels ol the present stale of things is to inciease thft disparity between the rich and the pour. The capitalist who has money by him, or drills due him, will have it in his power lo amass as much ol the properly of the. country ns lie may choose, while the poor must givo up the last ves. llgo lo meet the demands nl tljeir creditors. Th" olliccrs ol the Govortinie.nl will hecorag wealthy, hecuuso the Treasury notes, or specie, in which they me to ho paid, will he worth a piemium of twenty if not fifty per cent. All the money in which they are paid,above par, is lolhem a bonne , while all the money for which the agriculturist, the mechanic ami laborer is obliged lo sell his pro luc ions, or perform his work, is below par, is | a lax Upon him. Who does not see that the | cominuaiion of such a stale of things must event \uv r iii the creation ot un 'Aristocracy more baleful ■ 01 nitr government in prc'sHve, and upon winch the liberty and happiness of the country no much ilepeiuls, must lie destroyed if the present stale o; things continue. And that this is the object ol our rulers I do verily believe ; I do not mean In he understood as charging all who are in power with this design, fur four it, there are as yet, | comparatively lew initiated into the full know.' ledge o| the scheme, hut I do believe there are these in power who have this object in view, and lhal they are suflicicmlly numerous and powerful , h> cany their measures, and dele.it any measure o( ioliol■ Is there nothing alarming in the pro -1 relit posture ol nlluiis I \\ ho would have thought ! twelve months ago that any one could have been I hold enough lo have attempted to sell •> the State I Rights jinny of the South, lo the Magician of the j INoilli. And yet such attempt is making, “ no | one who has eyes to see and cats to hear," can doubt that John C. Calhoun has joined Martin Van Huron, and that ho is acting heart and hand wall Wright, Cirmhrelong, Demon, Kendall and ‘ IHair, lo curry South Carolina, and every oilier | Southern H ate into the ranks of the coalition.— j He must he pitiably weak, or contemptibly base | who denies il. Look nl the evidences; a year I ago lie (Calhoun) voted for a repeal of IhoTreas j iii y circular, now voting in a minority of nine | against n ; m favor of n United Stales Dank in lf U(i, ai, d down lo the very time of joining Van | Ilmen, now opposing il with an hypocritical pro- I Cession of love for State Rights principles con ! ol an 1 1 y on his lips, using all his power to destroy them, constantly prating of a divorce between the government and the hanks as n measure of cur iinlit.g Executive power; and yet striving to 1 place in the hands of the Executive the whole monetary system ol the country, and placing il al j lbs absolute control, under pretence of taking hour the Executive, the power of rewarding Ins jfollo.reis and buying up partisan*, he proposes lo place at his enutiol more money than another i individual in toe world can control ; these uie i strange doctrines, and I confess,arc past my com j prehension. Mr. Calhoun staled, after he had j been promulgatin' Ins doctrine of Nullilicotion . lor years, that there weie hut two persons in Hoiuli Carolina who understood il, himself and j Chancellor Harper ; arid I must confess that Ins j new method of curtailing Executive patronage hv ti creasing Executive power, is 100 ahatm.-e for i 1110 1 ibid 1 much tear that neither himself nor the I liuneellor can explain il to ordinary minds. No. " ls but too evident that Mr. Calhoun has nhan ■l ’l'iil ;,| l hi. former principles, at least his Miate Rights principled, (for it will hardly do lo say his i funnel principles, when he has at various pen uls lo lil almost every principle) as well as he has his former friends, flow is it that we Ilr.d the suc cessor ol Dull Green drawing in the same yoke with Dlun ; that Uforge M'Duflio is sudrlenlv he mining an object of attention with Mr. Van Huri n, and is invited us a visiter to the Military Academy at \icst Point.

Scott, lind contracted with John Rosa for the removal of the Chorokeei. He (Gen. Scot I) stands pledged to Roas in the amounl of thice hundred thousand dollars, to employ wagons and pay O'hrtr neteasary expen ses. We further learn that this arrangement has created considerable excitement at the Agency' especially among the Chernkces, a great number of whom, having declared a decided preference to be removed by the Government, and arC altogeth er averse to trusting their destiny in the hands of Ross; they are perhaps but too well acquainted with his penurious nature, to anticipate a plentiful supply for themselves and families, while on the road to Arkansas. It is very generally reported, and us generally believed, (says the St. Augustino Herald,') that the Florida Militia arc again to ha called into ser vice, under command of Gen. Hernandez.

The Now York correspondent of the National Intelligencer says;—“lt is slated that the Great Western made over §40,91)0 on her two last trips- This may he exaggerated, hut hei last trip was certainly a vrry lucrative one. Already several of her berths arc engaged. Passengers come here from the West India islands, and from Nova Sco tia even, ns well as the Canadas.” The St. Louis Republican stales that a gang of counterfeiters has been discovered at or near Be thel, Illinois, two of whom are in custody. Two others have lied to Missouri—one of whom is na med John W. Ethell, a carpenter by trade. He is supposed to have about §3,ooo—principally Indiana, Northern Bank of Kentucky, some Bal. limore Bank, and §3 of Shawneelown. The Savannah Georgian ot the Hth speaking of the Rail Road meeting in Waynesbnrough, the proceedings of which was published in our paper of Saturday last, says : Wc understand the meeting was large, that the utmost unanimity prevailed, and that there was not a whisper of dissent to the opinion that a connexion with our road is expedient. The distance, it is understood, will not exceed twenty miles to Wayne.sborough ; and the whole distance from our road to Augusta will be short of fifty. 'The country is highly favorable, and there is every reason to believe, the vreallhy plan ters of Burke will put the shoulder to the wheel, and carry the project spsedtly into cliect. It gives us pleasure also to learn that the eiti. Zens of Augusta are favorably disposed to the rn mu ii doubt jkat the benefits citie.i.

A supposed conflict of interests has for a few years past, been operating in a manner to disturb in some degree, the harmony that ought to exist between the two cities. This, we arc sure, is without any real cause, and if we are not much mistaken, their connexion by Railroad would in a little lime, have the effect to smooth down the ruffled crest of our high spirited sister, and both would travel on in the high road of prosperity— out ot the reach of any injurious influence from the lithographic cities of the South, which will soon have strutted their hour, and he numbered HMiong Ihe bubbles ibat were. (Communicated ] Sir—One of the best things that 1 have scon lately is the following: Rond’s Hpet'rh. The Editor of the Georgia Constitutionalist, intending to reply to Mr. Bond’s speech, has written three or four long articles byway of pre liminary (loutish, without arriving at all at the merits ol the subject. He promises to get to the gist of the matter by and by. Wc beg him to remember the case of (he Dutchman, who being about lojump over a wide ditch, and wishing to lake a lair start, went hack three miles and ran the whole distance with such tremendous speed, that when he arrived at the ditch, he had to sit down on the edge of it and rest himself without being able to jump at all.— Lints.

NOUS VERONS. I he New \ oi k Express, second edition of the oth says— A portion and a very largo portion of the Mer cantile Community, 100 will learn with regret, that there are some embarrassments in the estab lishment of a Branch ol the U. Stales Bank in this city. Wo have n from what we deem good authority, that threats have been thrown out horn persons in high authority, that if a branch is es tablished here, meusuies will bo immediately ta ken to put an injunction on the Bank. 'This threat has had the effect for the present, as we are inlotuied, to cause a suspension of the intend ed location ofa Bank.

Business in our city still hangs hack. Phis may he ascribed lo the uncertainty attending the financial arrangements of the ciy. Our private letters from Boston and Philadelphia assure us that the fall trade has set in in earnest, and pro mises to he. very largo. This, nodouht, will also be the case in this city, although by a different set of men from those who have heretofore done the heavy business, as the old suspended houses find great difficulty in settling up luck accounts with their customers in the far west anil south, who, | although their crops are very abundant, yet not j only these, but in some cases the greater part of | the next crop is under p'edgc lo the different i banks for advances made during (he panic season. ' It will therefore bo one year or perhaps eighteen | months before those houses can recover, ns they | must come in second after the banks who have a lieu upon their produce. In the mean lime, the new and untrammelled bouses established here, cannot fail lo do a large and lucrative business. Domestic exchange is again a little depressed to day on some southern points, where the pros pect of resumption is least favorable. The Nashville Whig observes that it is very uncertain when the, Tennessee banks will resume. The new bap.k is issuing paper freely, and promi. pcs to redeem them in specie about June, 1839.

Il seems that the two republics, Buenos Ayres ami Chili, are determined lo crush the great power of Santa Cruz, whims represented to have some in. . clination lo make himself Emperor. Efforts were making by the British admiral, in conjunc tion with the Brilisli Minister, and a mission from ' Buenos Ayres, to effect a peace, the favorable re. ; suit of which, however, is considered impossible, . under present circumstances.— Halt.

The acquisition of this money is a dis - . grace lo the nation, if the representations lately , published in the National Gazette be true. The thing should be investigated. Here is the official notice: 5 'f’he money bequeathed by the late James j Smithson, Esq., of London, for founding an in stitute in the city of Washington, amounting lo about half a million of dollars, will, it is expected, be received during the present month.

( We leafo. from an officer of the steam ship ( Natchez, who left Havana on the Ist instant, that s there had been a sfijous disturbance of some kind , at that place. The pif’cisc nature of it we could , not find out—hut it seemd to have been a con -5 ‘■piracy or revolt among the ti oops in the Moro , Castle, or some other fortification. A firing had . I’ o6o kept upfor sometime, and even ite inhabi , fants ol the city were ignorant of the particulars. I It was ascertained, however, that from eighty to I one hundred persons had been killed. When our informant left, all was quiet. It was slated, moreover, that a revolt had taken place at Porto Rico, and that a frigate with two oi three transports had left Havana for that island to keep things in order. Thus they go. What is the history of the whole .Spanish taco, but a tale of blood, riot and confusion 1 ' Pit t LA OEIPIIIA, Aug. I). Most infamous and inhuman coniiuct. It ! will be recollected that Capt. Davis, of the schr Henry Camerdon, of Philadelphia, rescued a num ber of the passengers of the ill-falcd Pulaski, , and carried them into Wilmington, NC. The - Henry Camerdon arrived this morning from that port, and has furnished us with an account of the following infamous and inexcusable conduct on the part ol the Captain of a schooner, the name of whom we regret is not recollected. The information was communicated to Capt. D. tiy his pilot, and can bo implicitly relied upon. The schr Merchant, of Elizabeth Ci y, (N. C.) bound to Wilmington, (N. C.) with a cargo of corn, passed the passengers on the wreck of the Pulaski, heard their desperate cries for aid, saw them struggling with the waves, when even hope had almost forsaken them, and notwithstanding he wns distinctly hailed by them, ho refused to | offer them any assistance, and proceeded on his I course. The reason which he assigned for this I wanton and murderous neglect of duty was, that he feared another vessel, bound lo the same port as himself, would gel in before him. Wo trust that the Wilmington, (N. C.) papers will ascertain the name of this inhuman monster, and publish it in connection with his infamy.- Phil. Exchange Hooks. From Ihe Charleston Courier.

Anotlier Revolutionary Patriot gone. Died at the residence of his B( , n , in Jefferson county, Liu,, on llio Bth inst. Uaniki. Coxkel, in the 83ih year of his age. The subject of this memoir wag a native of Virginia, from whence he came and settled in this stale about the commencement of the Revolution ary war. He served a part of the lime ns a rcg. ularnnd a part as a militiaman, during that great a nd important struggle which so gloriously lor* ininalcd. After which he long lived a respected private husbandman, a firm and lasting friend to those around him, and a pious member of the Baptist church. One particular trait in the char acter of the decease I should not lie left unnoticed, that is Ids great and indefatigable love for his country. Throughout his whole life, whether bashing in the sunshine of prosperity,or suffering amidst the woes of adversity, the welfare of his country always lay near his heart. The eccentric enthusiast is oft admired on account of his z.’al fin his favorite object ; but here was one possessed of void unmixed with cnlbusias n, and a zeal which lived as long as he did. Here was one who fought and bled for his country during tho time of rs most gloomy prospects, and who as sisted in establishing and continuing in operation the best form of government ever projected by mortal man. But it is useless to multiply words. In short, hero was one possessed of a heart as purely patriotic and as purely philanthropic as ever throbbed in the bosom of fallen man. But, alas I he has fallen to rise in time no more. Yet whilst we, bis bereaved friends,are mourning our i irreparable loss, we indulge a lively hope that his parting soul has already entered (he beatific world, there to enjoy God and Christ forever.— And may God grant that wo, his weeping friends, may be prepared to meet him in the clysian fields' of ineffable bliss, is the sincere and humble prayer 1 of D.
