THOMAS BUTLER KING, EDWARD .1- BLACK, LOTT WARREN. Expeditious Travel ling. A gentleman of this city, who sailed from New York on Saturday evening last in the brig Dia mond, ailived here on Wednesday evening on the Rail Road from Charleston. We regret lo learn that in many counties in the State, our friends do not sc-cm lo be. awake to the necessity ol energetic and concerted action in reference lo the approaching election for members of Congress. When the ticket of our opponents was announced, it was looked upon on all hands as the weakest ticket in point of ability and popu larity, that hail ever been presented to the people of Georgia, and our frienils every where anticr paling an easy triumph over it, have in many pla ces suffered themselves to he lulled into a false se curity which may lose us the victory, which wc had already considered as achieved. Wo say to our friends awake, arise ! Are Stale Rights prin ciples less worthy of support now than formerly, or bre lbcdoctrir.es of our opponents less obnox ious 1 Arc the great and unchanging principles upon which *c are united, so soon lo he forgot ten, and arc wc lo he deluded Irom their support hy the wiles anil tricks ol our adversaries! 1 heir only hope of success is lo he found in our divis ions and our apathy, and wc earnestly hope that our friends will be sufficiently wide awake lo blight the hopes which have been built upon such foundations. Let our friends then in each and every county arouse themselves to their wonted zeal, energy and activity—let them go forward in the contest with an unshaken deierminalion lo redeem the character of the Stale from Ihc point of inferiority lo which tire weakness and itribe,, cility of recent representations have reduced it in (he halls of Congress. Wc triumphed last year in the election ot Governor, and shall wc now hy our own supineness and the artificies of our ad versaries, suffer ourselves lo be defeated, when it is so easy to retain and secure our ascendency! Against such an event, we call on all our friends once more lo unite and rally before it is 100 late! Wc learn from the Army and Navy Chronicle, that, upon the representations of Governor Gilmer, of the inefficiency of thn present military force in the vicinity of the Okefenokee swamp, the Secre tary of War has authorised the employment of five hundred mounted militia for three months.— An officer of the army has been Instructed to muster troops into service, and a Quartermaster and Commissary despalched to provide the necessary transportation and supplies. A letter from I’liiladelphiit' stales that on Sat urday, the 2d inst. the Fairmount or Schuylkill bridge look lire, anti was entirely consumed. n " Texas. J Dates to the 18th, from the Republic, have been received at New Orleans. The journals contain e ,iu,c ot ' material interest. The recent stories of invasion and slaughter arc false; tranquility ' prevails in every section of the country. Altho’ e llle Houston papers appear apprehensive that the raising ot the Mexican blockade by the French, , w RI bo the signal of the invasion of the republic. I Mexico, instead of being weakened by the present j course of the French, will be better prepared to I , prosecute the war with vigor. The blockade has | 1 imparted something like concord to the internal I factions of that country, and is prompting them j to a resistance which will give them more strength I and uniiy. W'e have the strongest confidence, J however, that, as the little republic exhibited lion-like qualities when she was hardly out of her ! swaddling-clothes, will, now that she has become • a strong stripling, give all her enemies such a lesson that they will be glad to retire beyond the reach of her arm. 'Tlte Indians, according to Capt. Taylor, who re cently travelled 300 miles beyond tlie Trinity and visited all ot the tribes, have expressed themselves to be the wa meat friends of the republic. The crops in every part of the country are said to be unusually tine and abundant. David G. Uurnett is recommended as the can didate for the office of Chief Justice, left vacant by the demise of Judge Collingsworth. Robert Wilson is the only opponent of Gen. Lamar for the Presidency., Since the death of Col. Grayson, little doubt seems to he entertained of the success of the latter. The Intelligencer says, of the growing impor tance of Houston :—“ As an indication of our destined greatness, emigrants and travellers gene rally accord to our city an eligibility oi location ( unsurpassed by any upon the Gulf. Wo have i now in progress of erection several large and 1 commodious warehouses, an extensive wharf, a 1 well ventilated and convenient theatre, rapidly . increasing proposals for the building of a court 1 house, and the strongest inducements for the 1 completion of a church. The moral character oi 1 , 1 \ our population justifies the belief that ere trlar.y , weeks wo shall have a place of worship, equiva- l lent in its arrangements and architecture to many 1 of the most finished in the States. Our people , are determined upon improvement—their motto I is o lav aril < . ( The Army and Navy Chronicle states that Commanders Fitzbugh, of the Concord, and Ten , Eick, of the Erie, on the West India station, it i is understood, have applied to he relieved from r their present commands, on account of ill health. 1 Commander It. F. Stockton has been ordered to j the Concord, Commander J. Smoot is spoken of for the Erie, and thirteen lieutenants are under orders for duly in the West India squadron.

M. WALKER, Clerk. I'rum lhe National Intelligencer. Mexico. j Subjoined is an extract from a letter from 1 Mexico, for permission to publish which we j are indebted to a friend. In respect to tbe i view which it takes of the state of things be- I tween France and Mexico, some allowance ' being- made lor the prepossession of the wri ter, who is a Mexican in feeling as well as allegiance, our readers will, ol course, oxer* | cise their own judgement. We do not desire lobe understood, by publishing the article, to ' adopt the writer’s conclusions. Extract of a letter. “Mexico. July 6. j “It is the general opinion that the Quixotic : blockade upon our shores, as it began ex im proviso, will terminate quite as abruptly—a : /arioso movement, closing rele.ntandu pianisimo. The resolution of the good Louis Philippe may be expected here shortly, and if he docs run his head into a war with a power more than two thousand leagues oft) let him take die consequences which will be pretty serious, viz. a repetition of tbe Jackson drama of 1836-7, with two or three changes of scene to England and oilier countries aggrieved by the same. Such is the view all sensible men take of Ibis business, persuaded as they are that the said blockade was d-wised and enier. cd upon without any calculation as to the re sults, under the delusion that some half dozen of the ships of war of la grande nation had merely to appear oil’ the Mexican coast, and that the point would be carried by a coup de main. Rut monsieur was mightily deceived; lie looked on for some lime in amazement to see dial the ruse did not tak,‘, and sailed back again to carry home the astounding news. — In the meantime die real sufferers by this ridi culous farce of a blockade are tbe French residents among us. Poor fellows ! it is real ly pitiable to see die state of distress to which they are reduced, shrugging tip their shoul ders at one another by tbe hour together, and jabbering over the grievances which their own unthinking countrymen have broubgt up on them. Their situation is truly distressing ; they are blockaded front all kind of communication with their neighbors ; no one buy s of them, no one sells to them ; from every side they are looked upon with evil eye. Rut 1 did wrong to say there was no communication; on the contrary, such of them as are in debt, and , die number is not small, arc pushed by their eager creditors with a perseverance that leads ' to scenes of a tragic-comic character, but in ' which the comic evidently predominates.— Many among them are furious against their 1 own government for not having calculated things belter, and provided for the worst.— 1 't hey see tluu tbe Mexicans have really dared 1 to raise their voices, to a man, against such an 1 undue assumption of power ; and, what is more, they see that the same Mexicans are also ready, to a man, lo raise their hands in defence of sacred rights assailed by the ug gressor. Another tiling that has appeared lo them a real phenomenon, is the fact, that while the custom houses of the dill'erent ports have been mill to 4-ho Government, it has augmented die national army by an addition of 0,000 ed'cctive men ,- that tneir pay lias been regular, and Iheirappoinimepts all that could be desired ; that a more liberal spirit is foster ed among us ; that several Spaniards have re ceived commissions, and been appointed (o places of trust; in a word, that their threats ol evil from without have tended to much good from within, to dissipate all private and selfish views, to tighten die bond of unity, and foster the good genius of patriotism. In a word, I feel confident that this appaient evil is to be I'.roduc ive of the happiest results, whose benefit will be felt from one extremity of die republic lo the odier. “There is also another tiling which the French residents among us cannot contem plate widiout emotion, and that is the con trast exhibited between their own Government and that of the United Slates of the Nin th, with regard to existing relations. While all is violence, menace and acrimony, on the part of France towards Mexico, the land of Wash ington is following out the pacific maxims of that father of their country, and claiming daily for herself a deeper and more enduring hold upon the good feelings of her neighbor.” From the Columbia Telescope. Passages Prom the Life ol u Great Statesman. NUMBER VII. The promptness with which Mr. Calhoun repelled an attempt to prove Ins connection with the Administration, is of recent occur rence, and of course is remembered. He dis claimed the right of others to “define his po sition,” and judging from Hie fidelity with which all that tails from him is caught and treasured up, 1 bad supposed that this golden rule would have been extended in its applica tion to others. In this, however, it seems that I was at fault; I mis'ook a privilege to the person, for a right to the public. Accordingly, llio attempt has been made by some of bis lol lowers, to assail the author of these numbers as a partizan of Henry Clay! That Mr. Clay is possessed of administrative talent, is, per haps, in the language of u great master ol the day, “a complex idea, requiring analysis and explanation. Ho is not, it is true, (as some ot his contemporaries are) always treading a slack wire, with a balancing pole in his hand as a proof of his extraordinary activity, and in this would probably deter lo the Bedoins or to the Unveils. It is also true, that in making his approach to a proposed print, his habit has generally led him lo prefer ihe straight lo the circumflex; always taking the Pennsylvania Avenue with a meridian sun to walk by, in pre ference lo the marshes of the Timber, with a flickering exhalation for his guide. It is per | haps, lurther true, that his excellency is not like the Aphyux, in constructing a paradox, in the solution of which he is to display the as tonishing facility with which the most striking absurdities, may be reconciled, and the most crooked of all things may apparently be m ade straight. It is true, moreover, that many ot the wise men of the country, and some ol our own Stale, have regarded him as having not only an extended, but a d stincl honz >n s in which it has been said that he not only hac • j the eye to see, but the finger to direct the or -I der, arrangement and complete tievelopemerii of its resources. I have hoard it said of him , i too, that of all the great public men in tin 1 country, in circumstances calling lor del.be ration and self command, he was always pro o I eminently fortified, not with a rash and pre ! cipitate confidence, but with a stair! and re.sa I lute calmness. ns Car removed from that to i menty in which weakness takes refuge (ton I its own fears, as from that apathy jiT whicl ignorance seeks to shroud itself in forgetful ness; aml that being poised, sagacious, fa sighted and culm, ho never failed to see hr way through the difficulties by which he wa I surrounded; and that without his heart falter mg or his head misgiving him, ho was always the first clearly to decide upon the right am firmly lo pursue it, regardful o! his country but regardless of himself. Ji has also been said, that he was not only, gallant, spirited and magnanimous, but entirely I rank, and free from all artifice; and that those who could notes, teem him a friend, orsustain him a* a confede rate, never (ailed to respect him ns an adver sary, not assailing your strong holds from the cover ot masked batteries, but opening his whole line of ha'lle lo the artillery of the op. posing host. These traits have been issigned to the Senator from Kentucky, with wliat jus tice those who know bun cun best decide; but, true or false, they can avail him nothing in Smr.li Carolina. Her policy, in affairs o" Slate, has keen selllcd to be the Platonic. Unless she can have a lover of her own chuo ; iug, she has decided lo remain a vestal. The propriety of his determination, in reference to the conflicting claims of Mr. Clay or Mr. Van limuii, it is not my purpose to draw into qncs tion; (let South Carolina preserve her armed neutrality between the belligerents,) but 1 must be permitted lo agree with Mr. Jim dolph, that as a gcneittl maxim of political conduct, “principles, not men” is about ns un profitable an abstraction as ‘dove, not women.” With the policy of Mr. Clay, however, so far as his public career lias disclosed it, Kiy concurrence lias been confined lo a solitary measure, and oven in regard to that, if | ) avo had correct items of his plan, we could never make the most distant approximation upon the detail. And entertaining and expressing this opinion,ns I do, in nil (rankness and sin. eerily, it occurs to me, that I present la r claim not to have the livery of this statesman forced upon my shoulders, at least by the followers of one, who sustaining Mr. Van Huron upon a cardinal measure of policy, and ns yet op. posing him in nothing,is defended in disclaim, ing all further connection with his admiuislia - tion. “A Clay man!” ilavo wo already reached that abyss of degradation, in the tar ly youth of our republic, when the spirit of subservience has so possessed itself of men’s tintures, mu! so debased them, that they must not only acknowledge a master themselves, but provide a master for others! Is there to be no concurrence of minds upon a subject mu tually considered, without (io cmjdoy a favo rite phrase of Mr. Calhoun) the inferior be coming “ absorbed ” in the superior understand ing, literally swallowed up like the rods ol the magicians? Hut more, is one mind not only lo bo merged in another, hut the subject in the person, and the superior became nut only the incarnation of the principle, butllio “(Jod in all and over all,” who concur and support it? When and how has it become the order of things in South Carolina, that one freeman is lo be represented as having what is equivalent to a written hill of sale of another liee innn in his pocket, by an equivalent, ids legation of the absolute supremacy of bis opinion and of Ins will, as a practical guide for another who concurs with him? lias it been since the Legislature tamely pass ed under the yoke, in that most empty of all mockeries, the aflirnance of principles which it was morally impossible that they could have understood, or that they could ever he made to understand ? I forebore to accuse the sub- Treasury party of South Carolina, either as the confederates or partisans of Marlin Van Buren ; simply warning diem against the con lamination of a contact so vile and hut lately so loathsome, and in return their drill sergeants and corporals have forced into my hands the bounty of Henry Clay, and placed upon me the badges and vestments of his service ! He it so. Those who offer the public a cari cature as a likeness, will of course, not com plain, if in turn, they arc brought under the hands of the limner—with u promise, how. ever, voluntarily given by the irlist, tbal the picture shall be taken true to nature. The reader will not suppose, then, that 1 am pre senting him with a pure fancy sketch, when I bring lo his view the rescue from destruc tion of a dismasted and shattered craft, by one of those “long, low, black looking schooners,” so often described as roving the waters in the neighborhood of die Havana or Matanzas. Upon the figure head of the for mer, be will imagine the liniarnents of Rey nard the Fox to be portrayed, while llic latter carries upon her bowsprit the “cast iron” features of one, whose deep and furrowed out-line would bespeak him a rover upon eve ry sea and in every clime for ibe last quarter of a century ; and when he has given to each ils proper designation (to the former, “the Administration,” and to die latter, “the South Carolina,”) he will have before him a pic lure, not only of succour and salvation from the perils of the deep, but a symbol of a con junction, in which the associates were appa rently united in a common destiny, and as part ners in a common fate. And such a union : At the time of their grappling, the helmsmai , of “the Administra ion,” is supposed lo have been a man from New York, whose name i think was Wright; her Captain was said l< i he one Thomas H. Benton from Missouri her first Lieutenant, Amos Kendall ; her pur . ser, l-evi Woodbury ; her clerk, Francis V | Blair ; and her ship's crew and passenger . were of a species of rabble lately designate! ' by the appellation of “loco-Coco !” Upoi the quartet deck of the other vessel stood i ■ man of robust person, sandy hair, and chalk) complexion, who, from tlie important am r officious air with which he issued orders, wiy ' supposed by superficial observers to have s been highest in the command ; but bis ven 8 inaccurate and stinted vocabulary produce! 1 the impression upon Olliers, that he was tin ' mere articulator of commands emanating Iron it another, issued through one of those ncwl; - invented speaking trumpets, called a munis it nis prompter was supposed lo be the rnai n whose f ice was rcpreseiUed on the iiguri - head ! No other person of mark was seen h ir command, ami the crew were said io he of a class called Legislators, who seemed to hav c tasted of the discipline ot the galleys, fron if the quiet subservience with which the ordei ,f were executed. ~ With liaise who witnessed this conjunctm r. much conjecture arose, not only as to the rm d )j v( , s ofttm rescue, hut tho probable const - queiices of companionship. It has been sir it mised, that probably some other than motivi o, ot humanity merely induced the rescue. I'ro io advices since the union, distrust appears mi 2 . | Ua iiy to l ave inspired Hie principal in con 3 h (n and, and it has been surmised, that, at acc e» venient point of the voyage, when ad is i „ longer needed of the schooner, the comma ~~ "* '** * l "**‘ 111 —‘i*n I —IT MW——MM 2- tier of the Administration will strike down the in •‘oast iron” man ut l lie helin, and give Ins body ;h to the sharks. It is suid that the mysterious 1- deliverer is suspected oflmving lent his aid in tr extremity, merely to relit the wreck and tts is sumo command of it himselt—and with an is impression on tlio part o( Ins ally that he Sile rs enured them when disabled, merely to profit s by their distress, is it a mutter lor surprise d that an administration leader should have been recently heard to declare, with scorn upon his n lip, that lie (their deliverer) who could bring' d no greater accession of numbers than a corpo n ral s guard to their cause, was not to be com . plimented with station by their party ; but was - merely to he tolerated as an auxiliary so long ■ as lie was efficient; remarking, at the same e time, that so much power exhausted in self, s defence lull him no power for assault ! (“lie • who is always excusing is always accusing I hiinseit,’ say the French ;) under these cir - cumstances, was n to bo wondered ut, that ; JJuclianuii should have upbraided him for as ' sliming to make issues for the party ; or, hang t mg thus loosly, as ho does, would it he matter . ol surprise, that at any moment he should he ■ greeted with the same declaration from the Administration, that ho has been so recently ) pronounced by the Whigs? “Let him go,” i said \\ ebstcr ; and at tho first convenient - moment of their reviving fortunes, “let him J 1 go,” will be rc-echood by Wright. And when 1 the edict shall issue from the throne, who is - there that will have cither the power or the wi 1 Ito gainsay it! Will it bo Ins first and most - ancient allies, the old Clark party of Georgia! ’ At that time they will he found linked with , those whose policy it will be to a.-sail and , crush h in, and all appeals to them will be re. . pulsed with derision and with scorn !

In tli.it ' day ol destiny, which awaits linn with the cer- 1 tiinty of the sitting ol the sun, he will find 1 that a very largo party, now cooperating with 1 Inin in South Carolina, are riding as an Ad- ministration party, upon an administration 11 measure, anil the day which shall data ins ' si puration from ilic reigning dynasty will toy- ' cr Ins connection from them. And yet, it 1 would seem, that fur repelling tins loihsomo c and contaminating contact, and lor avoiding h the chances and changes of this most perm- J clous connection, the finger of scorn is to be , raised to designate the nonconforni'sls as sup- t porters of Mr. Clay ! “Thou bust suid itj and rather than be marked as a confederate . or a purtizin of “him who sillcth upon the , throne," I accept the designation , provided , tbiil my accusers will acknowledge to the “.-oil: i impeachment, ut a most loving and illicit da. i banco with tho litilo Magician.

Van Itiiienisin. U is astonishing what implicit reliance our op. ponenls place upon names, and the facility will, which liny use, bandy and change them, is won derful indued. I u siting all the names together wnh which they huv u chrisicntd themselves would make quite a vocabulary. They have at one and another lime been Union, Republican, Jeflorsonian; Jacksonian, Democrats, Van Daren,’ anti-Hank. Hub-Treasury, .State Eights men, to' which might lie added Turililos, Force Dill IVo eb.mationisls, Deposit Seizors, and Specie Circu lar men. And they have been equally industri ous m fastening names upon their opponents, such as the Nollies, Disunionists, Dank Federal is!-, Ac. &c. Dul flow wo are lo know or fixe ibis Van Duien parly by any of iho names which they have adopted, is indeed difficult. They have heen fixed lo no principle but one, and that is lo ffd office, and foi ibis they avow all creeds and professions. At one time we find them con tending zealously for the unity and indivisibility of the federal government, and prescribing all who dared to dispute its omnipotence; and iidiculing the lours ol those who apprehended difficulty Iron, ihe machinations of the Abolitionists. 'Phis they said was a ciy rai,-cd by Nullificrs for edect. At another time they speak calmly ami collectedly of dissolving the union, and charge die nulhliors with being allied to die abolitionists because they are unwilling to incur the responsibility of dissolving the Government. At one time John U. Calhoun and others are traitors and rovolu lionists and they speak with seeming patriotism ol butchering their families and hanging the con spirators on a ga lows ns high as Hainan’s—at another, the same men arc in their estimation lit. tie less than Demi Gods, and worthy of dm most exalted offices in the gift of the people. At one lime, they arc printing the “ Proclamation ” on satin and hanging it in gift frames in their hous es, at another, they are repealing like parrots iho doctrines ol Slate Rights often told them lion, the stump and elsewhere in 1833 and 3. At one time they are creating Dariks in every village in Iho southern country, and again they are opposed to all flanks and all corporations.— They establish and applaud the sy»[, m of the Pet Hank depositories, and with Iho next breath vilify and traduce their own scheme. In short, there is no end lo their shameless inconsistencies; hut perhaps noun is so reckless as that now, whilst (rom every Democratic month is heard the hue and cry against a union of Hanks and government and the shoots of praise for a hard money curren cy, this identical party are filling die land with shin plasters, and have earned their inconsistency so far as lo set the very Government to manufac turing Treasury shill plasters, receivable in public dues and payable one year after dale!!!
