NISBET, mark a. cooper, THOMAS BUTLER KINO, EDWARD J- BLACK, LOTT WARREN. Col. Habersham. The loiter of this gentleman, which wo pnb lished yesterday, is one of flic most interesting and statesman-like documents we have had the pleasure of perusing for a long period. He ad duces his opinions with frankness and indepen dence, and sustains them with the urns'dispas sionate and unanswerable aigumcnts, drawn from reason, observation and experience. How diflcrent is the tone of this letter from those of the Van Buren candidates!—He writes like a man and a philosopher, who thinks for himselj —they an swer like school boys who have committed their parts to memory, and speak ns they have been instructed. Their flippant flourishes about "Di vorce,” "Democracy,” ‘Federalism,” “Diddle and the Banks,” and ‘‘the constitutional currency,” which they have picked from the Globe and Standard of Union, sound like the “You'd scarce expect one of my ago To speak in public on the stage” of some "three feet” urchin who supposes ho has reached the acme of human perfection, when he can repeat his part without missing a woid, at a Friday evening’s exhibition. Two years ago, they puffed and praised the pet hank system, as net only “Demacralic,” but as the very perfection of financial wisdom. Now they have mounted the "Divorce” hobby, which, when they have run it down, they will abandon and abuse as a vile "federal measure.” After that they will mount some other “democratic” hobby—any thing, no matter what—as well something which they now abuse, as something they now approve —if it is likely but to please their party leaders and create popular excitement! But wo are digressing. Col. Habersham believes a National Bank, Under certain restrictions and limitations, which he points out, to bo both constitutional and ex-- pedient, occupying, as he himself says, the ground occupied on that subject l.y Washington, Madison, Crawford, and Calhoun, all of whom have either sanctioned or supported a Bank of the United Sta'cs. f. He opposes the project of exacting the revenues Tf c [ the Government in gold and silver. As a mere matter of individual preference, ho thinks Henry Clay would suit the South better fur President than Van Buren, hut should he lie clcc'cd, and the election of President devolve upon the House of Representatives, he will fed hound to support whoever receives the electoral vote of the Stale. This is ns much as can rea sonahly he required of any Representative. However much some of our friends may dilli-r with Col. 11. in opinion, upon some points, yet there is not one hut must admire his candor, and the uncommon ability with which he. treats this subject. A truer patriot—a man more thoroughly Georgian in interests, principles and feelings, than Col, 11., can no where bo found. His I whole life proves it—but the Slate Rights party 1 know him, and knowing him to be in every way I worthy of their suffrages, he will got them. ! Wo learn by the Milledgeville papers, that ! Governor Gilmer has issued bis orders lor raising ! a regiment of eight companies of Militia, in lire Southern counties, lor the purpose of expelling the Indians from the Okcfinokee swamp. \darn G. Safluld, of Morgan county, has been appointed, by the Governor, Judge of the Superior Courts fm the Northern Circuit, to /ill the va cancy of Judge Polhill, deceased.

What course do you intend to pursue in (lie approaching Congressional Election I It is fear ed by many of our friends, and anxiously hoped by our opponents, that we will divide and be conquered. But I have too much confidence in the integrity of our party, and in the good sense liberality and patriotism of its individual mem bers, to entertain for a moment an idea that any of them Will adopt a policy so absurd and childish in its conception and so suicidal in its eo:,sequen ces, W hat ! will wc abandon the cherished principles for which wo have so long contended and the vantage ground which we have secured by years of unremitting toil and labour, because of a mere difference of opinion upon a single measure of expediency I Is this the spirit of brotherly love, of kindness, of charily, of patriot ism I Arc we bound together by so weak a lie that we can sacrifice nothing to an honest differ ence of opinion, upon an insulated question, in a political friend I If it ho so, the party is not ■worth preserving ; it is a mere mob, destitute of every ennobling characteristic that could entitle it to respcc'. If there is any who arc disposed to proscribe their political friends, because they dif fer on the Sub-Treasury question, permit me to enquire of thorn, what end they propose to ac complish 1 Is it to elect the Union Ticket I As suredly not; yet, if they persist in such a course, this is the certain and inevitable eonseqence. They know full well that the Union Parly will not vote for any of our Gandida'os in preference to their own, and that our Ticket, if it succeeds at all, must do so by a concentrated party vote. Should those of our parly, therefore, who advo cate the Sub. Treasury scheme refuse to vote (or the Candidates, who oppose it, or vice versa, they do lhal, which is in died a support of the Union Ticket, and the -whole of out Candidates must necessarily bo defeated. This is so plain, that it needs no argument to enforce it. I trust then lhal wc will hear no morn of division and proscription} that every Stale Rights man “will do unto others, as ho would wish others to do un to him,” and that, with an eye fixed upon the consecrated principles of the parly, and a soul fill ed with the spirit of mutual forbearance, kind ness and charily, wo will rally to the pulls as one man, determined to battle shoulder to shoul der, and to conqueror to fall together. TROUP. Tun Taiiikf Ciuculau.—The New York afternoon papers of Thursday have the following notice, emanating wc presume Irom the Collector of that poll: Wc understand that the Collector has not, as yet, received the printed Circular, about which so much has been said, but we also learn that he has become satisfied that it will not be made to operate, so as to effect merchandize now in port, and unentered; and that he will to-morrow sur render up die conditional obligations, taken from die merchants, to comply with the ultimate de cisions of the Ticasury on the disputed questions. From the W ashington News. J/r. Coding ■ —You very justly remarked in your “ Circular” to the “fitute Rights party of Georgia,” that troin the injudicious movements of sonic of its friends—that the coming election was fraught with momentous consequences to us as a party. To correct in kind terms, and -woo in brotherly language, those who have acted injudiciously, will, I hope.be the first feature that shall charac terise your labours as the editor of the “News.” Charge the blame not on that portion of the parly who the “Sub-Treasury,” nor upon that, who oppose it. Each branch of the patty have, perhaps, conii United by imprudence, in bringing about a state of tilings, so much to he deprecated. Wo may, and will as a parly, differ in regard to particular measures of expediency. It is not to be supposed, that the parly, compri sing as it does, some THIRTY-FIVE THOU SAND or more men—could all agree, upon every measure of the day ! No! And if, as a paitv man, I am compelled to think in perject ■ un sun with so many heads, upon every subject, which perchance may be agitated ; then indeed have I misconstrued the requirements that would 1 j constitute mo a'member of the parly, i There arc points, however, (and those the most | important) upon which wo all agree. Wc, as a r 1 party, agree in contending Im the Right of Stale I interposition in all infractions of the CossTf- J | tut] ox * We, as a party, agree in condemning 3 | the Doctrines of the “Pbocla.matio.n” and ol | the ‘ Foiict Bill ’ We, as a par'y, agree in I warring aguin-t corruption in our pulilic servants ; wo, as a parly, agree in demanding of our public men, as a system ot relienchmotu and reform.” And we, as a parly, DID agree, through dele, gates, sent for the purpose, to support the “Slate Rights Congressional I iekot, regardless of minor differences of opinion. That ticket is now be. , (no ns, ir vitingour support on the first Monday in October next. Will wo make good our pledge, by supporting each and every mini that compose i it 1 For one, I answer most emphatically, “1 WIFI,.

TncnsDAT Emsi-rc. t 'cr some 1200 shares of all sorts of stock are recorded to-day as having changed hands.— I rices are generally down. U. 8. Hunk shares sold to-day at 1 To day was emphatically a dull one on Wall street. All sorts ot exchanges wore stationary. Money is daily becoming more scarce. We have scon various reasons assigned for the scarcity just at this time. Hut they all resolve themselves into one, v.z; Hi* the pleasure of the hanks to cease their usual accommodations in the usual channels. So it will ever be, where the circula ting medium is furnished by hanks. As to the reason that influences them to this course, their own interest is perhaps the only satisfactory one. The, ceasing to loan upon pledges of stocks and southern and western funds produces quite a lightness in Wall-street, which will continue till other arrangements are made to procure money. Some think that the expiration of the Mortgage Law in October lias some effect on the money market. We arc of a contrary opinion, for the simple reason that the supply to the usual chan nels of money, for purposes of trade, does not depend Upon those capitalists who are willing to invest in fast estate. Mr. Hiddio lias broke ground in front of his properly in Wall street for the purpose of con structing the vault to the new banking house. Wo understand dial it is his intention to push forward the building before the winter sets in. The subscription to (lie American Exchange Hank goes on steadily. Enough has been secur ed to enable the concern to go into operation. Exchange to.day on London ruled at 109 A— transactions very light. On France the lulu was sf. 20e. and flat. Uy the Congress, from Valparaiso, this day anived, there has conic #230,000 in specie. At New Hcdford, on the sih instant, there arrived #20,000 in specie from Antwerp. In New Jersey, we regret to slate, the fires in tile woods continue to rage and carry devastation in their path. The U. S. Gazette says, “We have already alluded to the destruction of the val uable trees in the cedar swamps, and wo regret to learn that so deep has the fire wrought in the moss ami roots which cover and mingle in the soil, that there is great reason to fear that these trees will not again exhibit themselves in their wonted location, and thus the marshy and watery places that have been the most valuable land in Jersey on account of the cedars, will become a useless waste.” Wo copy the following- from the Mount Holly Herald : (.’rent fire in the pines. From day to day wo see largo Columns of smoke, ascend from flies in the Hines. At night the glare of the conflagration adds beauty and awe to the spectacle This is an era of Jeep distress to our citizens— the proprietors ol woodland, and the farmers arc made to fed an nllliction almost equal to the Egyptian scourges. All signs having failed to produce ruin, the streams and vegetation almost exhausted to complete the distress, lire after lire has prevailed in the pine and cedar lands, devour ing timber worth thousands upon thousands.— We regret In slate that one of the most destruc tive originated from culpapie temerity—the burn ing of a brush heap has caused a In s of 50 thou - sand dollars in timber, the lire still raging. The one nearest ns, began near Retreat Factory—lias gono ill the vicinity of Aaron H. Moore’s, burn ing for him and others to a large amount. More fires arc perceptible, hut wo cannot stale their precise locality. Hundreds of people are employ ed day and night, fighting the destroyer. The following paragraph respecting this seri ous calamity is from the New ifork Star of Thurs day : Dread fit I Fire in New-Jersey The fire in the New Jersey woods, wo just learn from a gentleman who left Hornenlown yes ictday, lias increased to a most alarming and frightful extent. Millions of properly have al ready been Consumed. A space of 20 miles in length by 14 in breadth, through Uurlinglon and Monmouth counties, and consisting chiefly of pine woods and cedar swamps, is now in a s'ale of conflagration. The clouds of smoko are seen twenty miles oil', and at night the air is filled with a I Uriel blaze which dims the moon. The grass and woods arc so parched from the drought that the flames spread with lightning-like rapidity, presenting at night a scene of unparallelled sub lirnity. A groat, many houses and thousands of cords of woods arc destroyed ; and it is feared a number of persons, hemmed in by the flames, | have perished, I . - Shipwreck.— The Charleston Mercury of yes terday says;—“Tho brig Elm, Rodgers, sailed hence oth uit for Havana, was wrecked 10th ult. on Abaco, tho vessel would be a total loss, the crew safe. All the cargo except the ground tier, would be saved, a part of which had arrived ol Nassau, in Wreckers. The vessel and cargo was insured in this city. From u lute English jmjji r Famine in India, The upper provinces of Ihe Bengal piocideitcy wore (when the last despatches reached England,) the scenes of the most fiightful misery and mor tality. Owing In the extreme poverty of tlie natives, ' occasioned by tlies impolitic and ruinous system 1 pursued by the government of India towards tbo 1 occupiers and cultivators of the soil, tens of thou • sands have been reduced to ntier starvation. On ■ tho 14th of April. last 73,00!) pining wretches, I men, women, and children, were fed by bounty i at Agra; anil between tho 1-1 and 15th of March 71,523 infirm and sightless creatures were rcl'u -1 ved in a similar manner. Wo great have been i the ravages of death that the sir for miles is lain a ted with the effluvia from tbo purifying carcas - ecu of inert and cattle, and the livers of tlio Jum g na and Ganges choked up and poisoned hy the -I 1 dead bodies thrown into their channels.

From (lie July number of Iho Oriental Herald wo learn that starvation, disease, and death arudoing their work at Uawnpore, Muttra, Gwalior, and Delhi, while the wculthi. r natives look on w th listlossness and unconcern. Though a Is.nine tund has been established by the Euro pean public ot India, it is found impossible to ' meet the necessities of the destitute and dying ' multitude. A correspondent in Calcutta thus vvri ea on Iho 10th of April:—“Since lho despatch of the overland mail for Doreniee, which left Bombay ‘ at tbo close of last month, public attention in this quarter has hen engrossed by the accounts which daily reach tno capital of the horrid rava ges of famine in the provinces to the west and north west. It is inq ossible to compute the num hers who die in their tedious .progress from the desolate districts to the towns where food is pro curable. Wc hear almost daily of mothers deser ting their children on the highways; of infants crawling around the granaries to pick up the grains ol rice accidentally scattered during the process of distribution at the doors; of the roads being lined with dead bodies, a prey to tho vulture and jackal; of the course of small rivers actually obstructed by the masses of bodies thrown therein, by those who are employed to clear the high ways; of the inhabitants of the large towns of Agra, Cawnparo, Arc., being compelled to alum, doit their evening drive, from the impossibility of encountering tho effluvia from the putrid corses around? end the worst of it is, that, two months mote must escape hofotc a fall of rain can he ex pected, and the earth yield fruit wherewith to np’ pease the irresistible cavings of hunger. Some views of Hie proposed divorce of the Co v eminent from the Jinnies, tiddresscd to the candid of all parlies, Letter No. V. It. has not at any time been my purpose to etc amine tho Sub Treasury system in detail, hut it seemed to me proper to present some general views of it sulliciehl to awake tho attention and draw upon it (ho scrutiny of all men who love their country mote than their parly. I was un willing to see a system so full id’ mischief fasten ed upon Us without some remonstrance on our part, and I felt the more inclined to oiler this re monstrance because I plainly saw that an effort would ho made to march the Stale flights parly into the ranks of un odious and tottering Admin istration, under this very Hull Trcasuiy banner. Ii is declared to lie a Southern measure, and is recommend to our favor, us a scheme calculated to lessen Executive patronage I Hitherto I have confined myself to a view of tlis linoncial aspect of the scheme. To me, it seems sufficiently unpromising. The field is wide, hut I have lieiilu-r the inclination nor the leisure to survey it further. I shall in tho pre sent number, name some of the chief political objections to the extraordinary system which wo have been considering, and lake my leave of the subject- I trust that there is enough of wisdom and of patriotism in the present Congress to seal its fate forever, ami that posterity will find il spread upon the pages of history ns one of those wild projects which arc born and which expire amid the political excitements which iho action of all free govenimenis sometimes bring about. If the Hub Treasury system is uusuilcd to our co idilion as a commercial people, spread out over a vusi, country, rapidly growing in wealth and advancing in the icliiiemrii's of modern hoc ety, if its influence will check die spirit of enterprise, and produce in business universal stagnation, it is infinitely more dangerous in its political ten dency. The other objections though certainly very se rious, are greatly out weighed by this. Indeed I think the political aspect of the scheme is of the most alarming character—siillicicmly no 1 had supposed lii appal the whole country. The en couragements of power cannot he watched with too much jealousy, and I am at. a loss to conceive how any one who has looked into the political history of the world, feeling as Jjolinghroke did that “history is philosophy leaching by examples,” can favor a system so hostile as this is, to every principle which has been regarded as important to the preservation ot that government under which wc live. The political system which embraces the Uni ted Stales, is unlike any other. Its administra tion must be guarded wit h extreme vigilance, if we keep its numerous and complex powers within their proper spheres. Every measure adopted by the government should have regard to our interests as a whole people. Il ought hot to he partial in its design, or its operation, hut should act with tho utmost attaina ble uniformity upon all parts of our extended country. It ought, at least, to contemplate the general welfare. It is perhaps impossible to ex clude sectional partialities from Iho deliberations of Congress, hut before a measure receives the sanction of all the blanches of the government, it should he understood to promise in its rosulta the good of tlie whole nation. A departure from lids principle is an abuse of power, and con duels to the roost absolute despotism. Now who that examines the Hull Treasury system is pre pared to say that il will promote tho general wel fare of the American people! Its warmest ad vocates, recommend il to our favor as a Southern 1 measure, and call upon us to sustain It on this ground. Dot this is a merit which it does not , possess. It die Huh Treasury benefits any sec tion of the country, that section will surely not ho the. South. All our products are for sale, and i il is of the utmost consequence to us, that the i world should ha aide to pay. Lint the objection to the scheme is, that il tends to render inconvenient and expensive, a free and frequent intercourse between the several portions | of our wide country. Our bi-lory, our origin, our struggles, and our liiumphs, are common property, and our dosliny ought to be die same. ■' Any system vvhicli lends to dissociate ns, ought i to he rejected, and this must he the tendency el a t system, which loaves unprovided with a sound . currency, possessing a uniform value throughout the length and bread hos our land. It has been perhaps fortunate for the stability of our Union, that the different sections of our country have boon in some measure dependent on eacli other, and I hat their soil and the pursuits of their in, r habitants have been widely different. When the | time arrives, if il should ever arrive, that these • sections become independent of each other, ami their inhabitants compete with each other in all , the pursuits which bring wealth, then will there i Stales be dismembered. We shall cease to feel ) us one people—prejudices, which are now soften ed by a better knowledge of each other derived i f.oiii frequent intercourse, will grow up, wc shall i, forget lha| the blood of our fathers was mingled y upon the battle field—and jealousy will with time Ii rise into hatred. Ho long as wo arc ono people, !. it is our policy to depend on each other, to keep n op a constant and uncmburnissed intercourse, i There arc some features in the Sub Treasury scheme which aro perfectly now to the American i- people. So lar they have scarcely felt the re e strain's of government. The display of authori. o ' ly, the insolence of office, anil the iron hand nl it I power, have not been ol on seen amongst us. i The government dues have been quietly oo’lcct ' 011 without expense lo it, or inconvenience to the people. I!ut this system is lo bring alioul a ehnngo in nil this. Olliuersof the General Gov ernmcnl, clothed with “a little brief nmliorily ” are lo bo stnlioued amongst ns; dependent Tor their bread upon cringing subserviency lo their masters, they will be insolent to every one else Those Receivers General will become odious oils' ougli. Jay gatherers, whether petty or great, are not the most agrccdlilo gentlemen in the world uml an American will not look upon those offi oors who are in the pay of a grinding and odious government with remarkable allbelion. If, un fortunately for our country, the system should he adopted, heneclorth the General Government will tlopcnd lor its existence, not on the aUbclion of the people, hut on its ability to keep thorn in un complaining subjection. The political system of the United Stales is one of consent, its best de» lonco, is the spontaneous alleclion of the people. I.et it lose its paternal character, and became hard and exacting, and it cun exist no longer. Hut the great objection to the system is (hat it destroys the balance of power in the government. U concentrates vast powers in the hands of the President. How any one can entertain the ex, traordinary opinion that it will lessen Executive patronage, is to mo most strange. If I hail been called mi to propose a scheme which should make the President of the United stales a perfectly ir tcs'ponsihle officer, which should confer upon him resistless authority, this system would have form ed one ol its leudins teatures. Names, are do* signed lo he descriptive of peculiar political forms, when applied to governments, hut they are not always so. A Monarchy some;lines blesses a people with a much higher enjoyment ot liberty, than some governments styled Republics. No- ! thing is gained in the way of liberty by culling a , government republican, when it lias lost every tiling popular hut its name, and there may exist just as much despotism under i», us ii it were sty led an absolute Monarchy. That government in which the power resides witli llio people, is a republic—that which gives the power toond man ( is a despotism. In the government of the Uni- , ted Stales certain high powers are given lo the President. Ho executes tlio laws, and lo sustain ids authority, the command of Lite entire armed force of the country is conferred upon him. Our J fathers with a wise and careful attention lo the lessons sf experience, gave him no control over the purse of the nation. In the distribution of ‘ powers, they placed the public funds under the { control ol the Representatives of the people; for they well knew that if the purse and the sword were placed in the same bauds, liberty would ex ist only at the pleasure of Hut tyrant who held them. Until the administration of General Jack- ( son these powers were kept distinct—a jealous vigilance preserved them so. Hut in Ids furious ( warfare against the Hank of the United Slates, lie seized the public funds, with a violent hand pul the Constitution under his feel, and changed not the name, hut the essential character of our government, by constituting himself dictator. This act brought upon him the just rebuke of the Senaeof the United htiales, a rebuke which history w ill faithfully record, where (lie supple, Clinging puppets of an enraged tyrant can never expunge it. Now the Buh.-Tieasury scheme, proposes to give lids dangerous contiol over the public funds, to tlio President as a permanent power. It may he asked how 1 By giving them into the charge of the Secretary ol the Treasury, and inferior officers—and by making those uUlcers solely dependent on and responsible to tile Presi dent. Geu. Jackson in the expulsion of Mr. Du ane from olfice, introduced a now principal into our political system, that the other ollleeis of the government hold their places at the will ofthe president. Upon this principle he can control ev ery department.— If the officer he too honest fur his purposes, it is easy to remove him, and men thus dependent will not he apt lo impure very ri gidly into (lie constitutionality of a measure. If a Duane has somo conscioiiljoys scruples a Tu ney may he found who is troubled with none. When some great crisis arrives, and an ambi tious reckless man sits in the Presidential chair, what is lo save the public funds from his grasp— it they are in tile hands of Ids Own creaturesf Hanks have the largest possible internal in keeping them safely, they have both properly and character at slake, arid would resist the plunderer. Are wo tiled prepared lo surrender tlio vital principle in free governments, of a distribution of powers, and consent that the Executive of lids Republic shall hold the sword in one band and the purse in the other 1 If so the essential character of our government is changed, and w« are free only in name. The I’icsident becomes truly “the armed interpreter of the law.” Romo was culled a republic, while governed by tyrants, and while its offices were publicly sold to the highest bidder. It is most strange that any sound mind can for a moment believe that tlio tendency of the iSuh- J misery system is to 10.-sen the patronage of tlio Eedcial Government. It proposes to employ a largo number of individual agents—dependent solely upon the executive—all their personal in fluences is thus secured to the government. The principles to which I have appealed in this communication are not new. They have been considered in this country as settled. Gen. Jackson himself has recognized them. In his message of 1835, he says t "I need only add to what I have on former oc casions said on this subject generally, that in the regulations which Uongtcss may prescribe res peeling the custody of the public money, it is desirable that as little discretion as may bo deem cd consistent with their safe keeping, should be given to executive agents. No one can be rv.ore deeply impressed than I uut wild the soundness of the doctrine, which restrains and limits, by I specific provisions. Executive direction, as far i j a-i it. can bo done consisionlly with the preserva -1 i lion ol its constitutional character. In respect ; I to the control over the public money, ibis doc , | trine is peculiarly applicable, and is in harmony ! j with the great principle which I fit I was sus | mining in the controversy with tho Hank of die | United States.” | And yet ho sustains the Hub-Trcasury scheme! j Them ate other objections to this system, and ve« . j ry grave ones, hut circumstances do not permit me lo discuss them.

Trom the Charleston Courier. The noble Science of Lnw; A gentleman of the profession, now no more, of the Western Circuit, defended a client for beg stealing, but notwithstanding bis elliirts a convic tion was bad- The Act of Assembly i>- describ ing the offence, says—“lf any person or persons shall be indicted and found guilty of stealing any sheep, goals, or hogs, he she or they, shall be sub ject to a fine or penally of live pounds sterling, lor each and every sheep, goat or hog, for steal, ingof which, he, she or they may hr, convicted as aforesaid. ’ I ire next section imposes whipping in default ofpayment of tho fine, l.pun lira trial ji came out in evidence, that the hog stolen was a pig. Among (ho oilier grounds in arrest of judgement, and (or a new trial, was one which went to ihe merits of (be case, viz; ‘■Thiil the defendant was found guilty of stealing a when the evidence only established that ho stole a pig, which was no ollonco under tho Hla 1 ulo. Judge Nutt, who was the presiding Justice asked the learned advocate il he intended to press that ground ! .Advocate. Certainly I shad press that ground; it is my chief reliance In tho case. Jmlffi• A'olt, V’ou then say a pig is not a hog 1 Advocate. Certainly. What wouldyourhon ot call a young sheep ! Judge J\'oll, A lamb. Advocate. What is a young goal 1 Judge JVotl, A kid. Jldvocate.

I Ihir.k your honor will now sc« that I have a most ample and irresistible offence, and in the course ofmy argument, I will he able fully to satisfy the Court on the point. The learned gentleman proceeded in the case. AItUOMJtNT. May it please your honors. My unfortunate client has been convicted of hog stealing against the most positive testimony. All the witnesses lot (ho prosecution declared tho animal taken to he a pig. (Laughter.) Now, I would ask if a fug can grunt! Kory body knows that, he can non II a ton, squeak, but linin’ is no grunt ill him, (Caught' r.) Can ho gain a subsistence by root ing ! No, then In; can be no hog. When a nnm says he will go the whole hog, bristles and ull, he cannot mean a fug. for a pig has no I ria* lies, and is but Ihu minim of a hog. (Laughter.) It your honor was to send your servant to mark et to buy a pig, and hu brought you home a hog weighing 300 lbs. I apprehend you would not consider him as having obeyed your orders.— (Daughter.) When you speak of a man, you certainly do not mean an infant at tho hue <n ot its mother. If bo bo one and twenty years of ago, lie w ill boa man, but until then, he is an infant in law and fact. When a pig can grunt he is a hog, and not till then. (Daughter.) 1 shall urge the point no further.
