From the following articles in the Brunswick Advocate and Darien Herald, it would seem that the amendments to the Constitution, proposed by | the late Reduction Convention, will be rejected in a quarter in which it was supposed they would receive unanimous support. From the Brunswick Advocate, of July 6th. Reduction Convention. —The last Darien Herald, speaking of the Convention recently held in Milledgeville to, reduce the number of the members of the General Assembly in this State, has the allowing remarks: , . ‘■We he.icvethe doings of the Convention have given general dissatisfaction throughout the State, and from the sentiments expressed through the press, are inclined to believe the large major ity. In tins county we feel confident there will be a majority against any alteration ol the consti tution, particularly such as proposed by the con vention.” Wc are satisfied from conversations had with a large number ol the citizens ot this county, in relation to the plan ot Reduction proposed by' the recent Convention, that on the first Monday in October next, a large majority of our citizens will be found voting “No Ratification.” From the New Orleans Louisianian, July 2. News from Texas, By the arrival in our port ot the steam packet Columbia, we have received our correspondence from Galveston to the 28th June inclusive. The advices from Houston, state the crops ol cotton had a fine appearance, and promised to bo very abundant. A report was in circula tion in that city that the Indians were commiltinfi more ravages on the frontier, and preparations were making to pul a slop to them. This intelli gence was given us by a respectable gentleman, who came a passenger in the Columbia, but our papers say nothing about it. The Texians did not appear to pay any atten tion to or be disturbed by the reports of an inva * sion by the Mexicans. For the Chronicle and Sentinel. Hamburg, S. C. July 9, 1839. Various engagements of a public nature, for the benefit of mankind, have subjected me to see others enjoy the fruit of my skill and hard earn ings, without relief for many years, and as the * matter has been brought before the public at pre sent, I deem it my duty to make a statement, be ginning with facts and continue with them from time to time as the case may require it. The matter in contemplation is the Bridge over Savan nah river, commonly called the “Augusta Bridge,” one half of which, together with its revenue from the day it was taken from me, I, and my just creditors are the rightful owners to the present day. On the 13th dayTlf August 1813, one Lewis Cooper and myself bought from Walter Leigh and Edward Rowel, their ferry-right across the r Savannah River, for the purpose of building the present Bridge. For said right we paid eight thousand, five hundred dollars; (four thousand to Walter Leigh, and four thousand, five hundred dollars to Edward Rowel.) In addition to this, wc paid to the Trustees of the R ehmond Acade my, as sent for their right, four hundred dollars per annum, payable quarterly; a copy of the first i. payment is hereunto annexed in exhibit mark \ SJ A. . lt J»I was the projector and furnisher of the mate rials; Cooper was the mechanic in erecting it ■ according to a wooden plan, in miniature, sugges ted by myself. In accordance to which on the 17th of August of the same month, and year aforesaid, li n person, with eighty or ninety la borers went into a cypress swamp and commen ced getting the timber; all of which were got un der my immediate superintendence. The whole of said Bridge,exe e pt the flooring was j»f the best cypress, and on the fourth of July, 1814, it was not completed, but u-,jy f or UBe- Q n the 17th day of December, 181a the Legislature of South Carolina, granted a charter to Henry Shultz am Lewis Cooper, for saij Bridge, and on the 9tl day of November, ISI4, the Legislature ofGeor gia granted a charter to John McKinnie am Henry Shultz, Cooper having sold his half It John McKinnie, and a partial understanding res peeling my interest in the Bridge, took place be tween Barna McKinnie and myself, butwasnev' cr carried into clfect on his part. John McKin nie and myself were in the peaceable enjoyment of said Bridge and its revenue, until the 3d o March 1821, when I was dispossessed by tlit strong arm of man, as will be seen in certificate marked B. Gentlemen—Having noticed in the public journals of a meeting held by the citizens of Au gusta on the 29th Juno last, in reference to the South Carolina Canal and Rail Road crossing the Savannah River, and the same time a resolu tion was passed for the appointment of five per sons, requiring the expediency of purchasing the two Bridges across the Savannah River, and that you were appointed that committee. Therefore, in order, that the public may not be deluded, I deem it my duty to give the facts, ami express the dictates of my rights and intention in regard to said Bridge, although the power of money and the cry of “mad dog,” has prevailed these many years, together with a little hush money received from Samuel Hale in 1829. Justice cannot abandon two years unahating perseverance, to gether with tens of thousands given for the erec tion of this noble and public constructive, at least without an effort to obtain its dues even at a late hour.

It is known that my name has been presented to the public, by a meeting of membeis of the Legislature of the slate, as a candidate for the office of President of the United States, at the ensuing election. As it has been expected that a convention would be holdcn in the auluimi of this year, composed of delegates from the several slates, 1 have hitherto thought proper not to an ticipate in any way, the result of that convention. But, I am now out of the country, not to return, probably, much earlier than the period fixed for the meeting of the convention, and do not know what may occur, in the meantime, which, if I were at home, might demand immediate attention from me. I desire moreover, to act no part] which may tend to prevent a cordial and effective union among those, whose object, I trust, is to main ta n. unimpaired, the constitution of the country, and to uphold all its great interests, l.y a wise, prudent and patriotic administration of the Gov ernment. These considerations have induced me to with draw my name as a candidate for the office of President at the next election. DANIEL WEBSTER. London, June 12, 1839. A horrible loss of life has just occurred on the Harlem railroad. The locomotive, at Kith street, ran olf the track, and, when the people were en gaged in putting it on, the boiler burst, and kill ed several persons immediately, and horribly mu tilated others. The amount of the sacrifice of life, lam not now able to ascertain. The engi neer probably forgot to let olf the steam when the locomotive stopped.— Correspondent Nat. Intel A Gratiffixo Sioht.—One of the most grat ifying spectacles exhibited in the New York cele bration, was the assemblage of twelve thomana Sunday School Children on Staten Island, with two thousand teachers. No less than nine tow boats and four steamboats were engaged to lake them across the river. Upwards of two thousand loaves of bread were consumed, and about as ma ny pounds of beef. A more heart-touching spec tacle could scarcely be conceived. It was wit nessed by a large number of benevolent citizens, and our correspondent well remarks, will be re membered with feelings of pleasure by hundreds, for many years to come.— Phil. Enquirer. Gambling Establishment broken up. The lessee of a house in Camp street, who ap parently commenced business here as commission merchant last winter, having some lime ago left the city under suspicious circumstances—yestor- I day some workmen were employed to break open the premises, when they discovered, instead of a store filled with goods, a complete gambling cs tablishment, fitted up in a style the like of which is not often to he met with. In the centre of the room was a table, and directly above, in the ceil ing, were cut several holes through which wires led down towards the spot where the proprietor is supposed to take his seat. These wires were i so arranged that they could be used to convey )d inform ation as to the kinds of cavils of his victim tlj The discovery of this formidable apparatus of in * j senility, coupled with the fact of the lessee hav ing Swartwouted under anything hut favorable id circumstances, gives countenance to the suppo lo silion that he was any thing hut a commission s . merchant, or an honest man. His name, we be lieve, is Ha inner.— New Orleans Bull'tin.'' 8- v ‘ Republic ok Texas, i- County of Harrisburg, A. D. 183‘J. S To the Hon. B.C. Fhanklix, Presiding Jin go: The Grand Jurors empannelled and sworn to 1)1 enquire for the body of the county of Harrisburg, le at the Spring Term of the District Court, rospi cl ip fully represent: That, during (heir session of several wciks, they have endeavored diligently to perform ihc ic duties assigned to them. The City of Houson t- being the of government, and the tormina ion lc navigation into the interior, is the tcmpoi ary resort ot all sorts ol persons, and will probably B be found to present an undue number ol infiac i- t;ons of the laws, in comparison with the rest of the country. \ et, from a review of all the rises and facts that have come before the Grand Juror, 1 they are clearly of opinion, that the frequency and it aggravation of crime arc much diminished, and >, the moral tone of society greatly improved since j the early settlement of the country —that the pro perty and persons of the citizens are as secure in r this as in any other well regulated community— -0 to sum up all in a few words, that Texas has ta- L j ken her position by the side of the most civilized nations, and is keeping up with the march of im ' provement and amelioration which distinguishes J the present age. it Duelling, which was formerly frequent, and is an evidence of a not well organized state of society, and by some regarded as a necessary evil in any community not perfect, has so fallen into disuse, t and is so generally reprobated, that but a single e case has come within the knowledge of the Grand Jurors. That wasaducl between two Europeans, imperfectly acquainted with our language, igno rant of the spirit of our institutions, and of the tone and requirements of society here. The Grand Jurors have inquired into the in fractions of those wise and salutary enactments which the Congress have passed to prevent gamb ling, and they have made several presentments therefor. It is unnecessary in this community, to portray the effects of gambling; its destructive and fatal influence upon all that is upright in z principle, and upon all the best feelings of the s human heart. It is however, a subject of congra -3 dilution with the Grand Jurors, that, in their in vestigation of this subject, they found gambling confined to the lower classes of society; and that persons who wish to be regarded as gentlemen and useful citizens, carefully avoid even being seen near the gambling table. This is now be come the resort almost exclusively, of the profli gate, the abandoned, and the shameless. The Grand Jurors have directed their attention 1 to the condition of the free Negroes residing in I Harrisburg county, contrary to the provisions of the ordinance passed by the Consultation on this subject, and contrary to the express declaration ; of the Constitution. After a very careful, patient, 3 and full investigation offsets, they made a pre sentment to the honorable Court, of those Ne groes, who, in violation of the supreme law of ■> this land, are residing within the limits for which s your Grand Jury is sworn to make inquest. As e a population, they are much worse than useless: in general, they neither perform any productive labor, nor exercise reputable callings. With ’, scarcely an exception, they arc addicted to vice and the commission of petty crimes. They are often irresponsible instruments in the hands of white men. But it is chiefly the mischievous in fluence which the free Negroes exert over our slaves, to which the Grand Jurors would invite especial attention. Texasisaslaveholding coun try, and will, the Grand Jurors trust, ever remain such. A family of free Negroes commonly pre sents the impersonation of indolence, ignorance and dishonesty. Such a family, unless strictly and perpetually watched, and kept at a distance, I will render the slaves of the plantations near e which they are situated, dissatisfied, disobedient, e restless, thievish and corrupt. In the towns c where the facilities for dishonesty by slaves are t much greater than in the country, the presence if of free negroes is felt ns a very great evil. In ad- I dition to their other vices and petty crimes, the - free Negroes being addicted to gambling, initiate . the slaves, who supply the means of pursuing it i, by stealing from their masters. r The Grand Jurors are aware that they have not v | even alluded to several very important points c which suggest themselves in the consideration of n this subject. It is not deemed necessary to do so h in this community. And in the brief notice they u have taken of one or two points, they are fully i- sustained by facts In the conclusions they have expressed. They wou'd likewise mention, that they have been informed on undoubted authority, - that one free Negro at least is in correspondence with the abolitionists of the North, if not an cmis i- sary of theirs. This subject too, derives a great if addition at this lime to its inherent importance from the fact, that one of the states of the Union adjoining this republic, has found the free Ne groes so great an evil, that it is expected she will soon expel them from her borders. In that event c it may be confidently anticipated that they will ! attempt to disgorge themselves into Texas—a dark spot on this fair and sunny land. The |. Grand Jurors in their presentment of this subject, !_ have acted under a sense of imperative duty. ,f The Grand Jurors would also present, ns a se j. rious injury to the public, the Groceries, or Tip pling Shops. With projrer exceptions, they are I the theatres of occasional brawls, and sources of • much damage to the morals and the health of the community. Under our present laws, no pen ally is attached to the retail of spirituous liquors without a license. It is believed that the passing of a law by Congress, attaching a penalty to this offence, would be productive of much good, by '■ placing the groceries under the permanent su -1 pervision of the properly constituted authorities [PUBLISHED BV BKQ.UEST.] , To the People ol' Henry County. j Fellow-citizens: — ln compliance with a pub lie notice, requesting the citizens of McDonough to assemble at the Court House, on the evening of the 20th inst. to determine upon some plan, by which to ascertain your opinions of the propriety of petitioning our next Legislature to repeal the Law authorizing the Retail of Ardent Spirits: a i- large number of the citizens of McDonough, con n sisting of all classes and denominations, assem- I't bled in the Court-House at the appointed hour, ■- The meeting was organized, and its object ex n plained by several addresses. It was then unani a mously resolved, that a Committee, to consist of i- Ten, should be nominated by the Chair, whose h duty it should be to fix upon some day for a pub e lie meeting to apprize the citizens of the county, I- of the day selected; to inform them of the object s of the meeting, and to respectfully solicit tbeir' ir attendance.—The undersigned were nominated e that Committee; who, on entering upon the dis y charge of their duty, take occasion to remark, that they arc fully aware that there has never be i any preposition uiaile lor the benlit and good o our race, which did not meet with opposilioi truin some qua ter; and that it is too frequently the ease that some designedly, and others withon reflection, attribute to the proposers of a niensun sentiments and notions which were never felt o entertained. Hut with reference to the content plated meeting, he its issue, what it may, tin Committee will be cheered and consoled by tin reflection, that they have solicited their fellow citizens to meet and co-operate in nothing but what was conscientiously believed would lend u the civil and political exultation of their country men. Many ol our fellow-citizens have witnessed, with feelings of interest and pleasure, the Legisla tive action which has been had on the subject ol lietailing Ardent Spirits in different parts of the United Estates. Already have the Legislatures ol Massachusetts,Tennessee, and Mississippi t he li ed the most fruitful source ol crime, degradation, and ruin, hy enacting salutary Laws, which pro hibit the Retail of Ardent Spirits in small quanti ties; and it must he highly intcrcstinglo all of our fellow-citizens, who reflect on the great amount of misery and crime which is caused hy the Retail System, to notice the laudable efl'orts now making in Putnam, Newton, Bibb, Mourns, and many other counties of this State, to awaken public at tention to the evils of the Retail truffle, and to in vite all classes anil rojiks to unite in memoriali zing the next Legislature for its prohibition. The people of Putnam were the first in onrNnte to at tempt so laudable an object; they held large meet ings, and got np petitions praying (hr Legislative action on the subject of Retailing Spirits. They have requested their fellow-citizcnsof other coun ties to cn operate with (hem in their important undertaking; many other counties have been in fluenced hy the example and request of (ho people ot Putnam, to hold meetings and get up petitions for the same object. And the people of McDo nough, believing that the evils grovvingoul of the Retail System ought to he checked ; that the Le gislative action which has been had on the sub ject in other Slates, was needed, and that some thing ought to he done by the citizens of our own Stale on this subject, and being desirous that the people of Henry should co-operate with the other counties which have decided on the propriety of Legislative interference with the subject, for the purpose of ascertaining from their fellow-citizens of Henry their opinions and views of the proprie ty of Legislative interference with the subject of Retailing, do, through their Committee, most res pectfully invite the peopled Henry county to at tend a public meeting, to be held on the 23th day of July next, at the hour of 11 o’clock, in the Baptist Church at McDonough, at which time sev eral addresses, advocating the propriety of the measure, wiil lie delivered; and as the subject is one of great importance, a full and free expression of opinion is requested. Now, in reference to Legislative action on the subject, it is believed that no friend of bis country and good order, ought to hesitate in giving his sanction to a measure which will remove, or at least greatly diminish, the amount of crime and misery arising from the Retail traflic, since all classes, sects, and parlies concur in denouncing it as a groat and alarming evil. Ask the Retail er if it gives him pleasure to see men brutalizing themselves by intoxication—if it is right for men to min their health, fortunes, and family? he will answer no, it is an evil—it is wrong for men to do so. Ask the Drinker if it is right! ho will answer you it blighted his hopes and prospects for success—disgraced himself and family. How often is he heard to promise reformation—to wish earnestly that Ardent iSpirils could bo kept beyond his reach, where he never would see the cause of his rum ? and yet it is now to be found at almost every fork and cross road of the coun try. How often is he seen frequenting the place where his misfortune and ruin began and may probably he ended ? If then the Sober, the Re tailer, and the Drinker, all concur in denouncing it ns an evil, does it not call for Legislative ac tion? and yet there are sonic who, without re flection, say that the Legislature has no right to touch the subject. And will they also pretend that the Laws ought not, in some way, to pre vent men from involving themselves and families in hopeless ruin—to save the time of Judges, Ju rymen. and Witnesses, which is now occupied in puhlising crimes and offences, which would never have been committed, had it not been for the Retail traffic? Have those who pretend the Legislature has no power to prevent this evil, re flected that the people of Georgia have, by their Constitution, vested in the Legislature “the pow er to pass all Laws which they shall deem nec essary and proper for the good of the State ?” And would it not be for tlm good of the Stats, that there should be no Retail houses, where your youth and slaves contract vicious and ruinous habits—where the father and husband lounges, till his fortune is squandered, his wife and chil dren reduced to want and beggary—where too frequently the Coroner and Jury arc called lore cord and publish his disgrace, by solemnly de claring the cause of bis miserable end? The Legislature have passed severe Laws against Murder, Assault and Battery, and Gaming; and no one says that the Legislature, in enacting penalties against those crimes, have transcended their authority. If they have the right to pun ish crimes, have they not a right to remove the cause which, nine limes out of ten, produces the crime? If the Penal Code punishes with equal severity, the accessary before the fact and the per petrator of the offence, have in t the Legislature the power of at least removing that which is ac cessary to nine-tenths of the crimes and alien ees ommitted in our country T Many distin guished citizens of the Stale, who arc intimately acquainted with the nature and power of our Go vernment. have recently expressed their belief that the Legislature ought to check tin evils aris ing from the Retail System; and among others our highly respected Judge of this Circuit presid c-d at a meeting, held a short time since, in t neighboring village, for the purpose of gettinf up a petition to the Legislature on the subject o Retailing, and unhesitatingly approved of tin measure. It would far transcend the limits assigned thii Committee, to point out, in detail, the many na tional and private evils growing out of the sys lem complained of, and the many reasons whicl ought to urge our fellow citizens to have their removed. In conclusion, this Committee disclaim all par ty. sectional, or religious combination. A coni ■non interest for our country’s welfare, is the sob stimulus or motive by which we have been influ enccd. WILLIAM H. WH ITK, Kiiancis E. Manson, Jambs S. Junks, Burton Crahii, William A.

I, Phi/uilelphia Curry A- Hurt.— We recently i- noticed, in terms of condemnation, Lady liulwers i- novel, which hascalled Ibrlha philippic in rhyme, r which as it is just received, we can only briilly it notice, ihe poem consists of about four hundred d lines, and has a lew int 1- otlliclory remarks, justly g severe upon the author of t Ihcvely, and so highly \ encomiastic ol Btulwer himself, as to preclude the t- probable idea that the work is from his pen.— i- Passhsn. it has been remarked, is always eloquent; i- and ol the satire before us, it may be said that e the sympathy of the writer in the cause of Sir Edward, glows in many passages, forcible in - thought ami chaste in diction. The poem corn e mences with an apostrophe to the -Daughters of 1 England,” to visit upon the author of Ohevely - the penalty of their scorn and aversion, “'I hen, if you spurn her not with one acclaim, " Vou saaic her matchless sin, her deathless shame.” i Ridicule ol Chcvely as a literary production, . forms part ol the angry song, and a description . personal, moral and intellectual of the Baronet and his Lady, occupies a large portion of the text. We annex a specimen. One evening to his lonely home ho bore 1 A wreath, like that immortal Shakspeare wore 1 1 And o’er bis solitude the ci ho came, Os shouts of triumph mingled with his name I Ami we may deem, his eyes were full of tears— flow cold the triumph which no loved one shares 1 100 proud to mourn, he sought Ids mind t’engage With the cold woes of a fictitious page ; ! He turns the leaves—ah! lias a viper stung I Ills cheek grows pale, his noble brow is wrung ! Oh, monstrous ! sec, the mother of his child, With blackest slander lias Ids name defiled I And o’er bis noble heart a sickness came, Not for his own, hut for her deathless shame, The coarse a fusion, the indecent jest, The falsehood half revealed and half supprest, And vilest calumnies profusely poured • in the fond mother whom Ids heart adored. 11 is sacred anguish is no theme for song— lint heaven is merciful and truth is strong ! Bulwcr’s morality, notwithstanding all the , flourish ol liis poetic champion, is roundly deni cd in the private circlesof London. Were every I suspicion true, however, the violation of good I taste and delicacy which Chcveley display, can , find in it no apology. A woman of refinement ] and native modesty would veil her husband’s , fadings nut less instinctively than her own errors. ’ These are the concluding lines of the poem : e Bcc, from thy waning charms base flatterers fly ! i Read f read ! thy shame in each averted eye.
