FAREWELL ADDRESS OF
GENERAL AXURr.W JACK BOH
TO TItR
PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES.
Pst.LOW-CITIZRMJ ;
Being about to retire finally from public life,
I beg leave to offer you my gralefol thanks
for the many proofs of kindness and court,
dencc which I have received at your hands.
It has been my fortune, in Ihu discharge of
public duties, civil and military, frequently to
have found myself in difficult ami trying situa
tions, where prompt decision and energetic
action were necessary, and where the inter
est of the country required that high responsi
bilities should be fearlessly encountered : and
it is with the deepest emotions of gratitude
that I acknowledge I lie continued and unbro
ken confidence with which you have sustain
ed me in every trial. My public life has been
a long one, and I cannot hope that it has, at
tall times, been free from errors. But I have
the consolation of knowing that, if mistakes
have been committed, they have not seriously
injured the country I so anxiously endeavored
to serve ; and, at the moment when I surren
der my last public trust, 1 leave line great
people prosperous and happy ; in the full en
joyment of liberty and peace; and honored
and respected by every nation of the world.
If my humble efforts have in any degree,
contributed to preserve to you those blessings,
I have been more than rewarded by the bon
ers you have heaped upon me; and, above
all, by the generous confidence with which you
have supported me in everyperil, & with which
you have continued to animate and cheer my
path to the closing hour of my political life.
The time has now come, when advanced ago,
and a broken, frsme warp me tore'ire from pub
lie concerns; hut the recollection of the favors
you have bestowed upon me in isongraved upon
my heart, and I have felt that 1 could not part
from your service without making this public
acknowledgement of the gratitude that 1 owe
you.—And if I use the occasion to offer to
you the counsels of ago and experience, you
will, 1 trust, receive them with the snno in
dulgent kindness which you have so often ex
tended to me ; and will, at less!, see in them
an earnest desire to perpetuate, in litis favor
ed land, the blessings of liberty and equal laws.
We have now lived almost (illy years un
der the constitution framed by the sages and
patriots ot the Revolution. The conflicts in
which the nations ol Europe wore engaged
•luring a greal part of this period ; the spirit
in which they waged war against each other ;
and our intimate commercial connexions with
every part of the civilized world rendered it a
time ot much difficulty for the Government
of the United Slates. Wo have had our sea
sons of peace and of war, with all the evils
which precede or follow a slate ot hostility
with powerful nations. We encountered
these trials with our constitution yet in its in
fancy, and under the disadvantages which u
new and untried Government must always
feel when it is called upon to put forth its
measures. But we have passed triumphantly
through all these difficulties. Our constitu
tion is no longer a doubtful experiment; and,
at the end of nearly half a century, wo find
that it lias preserved unimpaired the liberties
of the people, secured the rights of property,
and that our country has improvon and is flour
ishing beyond any former example in the his
tory of nations.
In our domestic concerns there is every
thing to encourage us; and it you aro true
to yourselves, nothing can impede your march
to the highest point of national prosperity.
The Slates which had so long boon retarded
in their improvement, by the Indian tribes re*
siding in the midst of them, are at length re
lieved from the evil; and this unhappy race—
tho original dweller* in our hind—aro now
placed in a situation where wo may well hope
that they will share in the blessings of civili
zation, and ho saved from that degradation
«nd destruction to which they were rapidly
hastening while they remained in the Slates ;
and while the safely and comfort ot our own
citizens have boon greatly promoted by their
removal, the philanthropist will rejoice that
the remnant of that ill fated race has been at
length placed beyond the reach ot injury or
oppression, and that the paternal care ot the
General Government will hereafter watch o
vor them and protect them.
ft wo turn to our relations with foreign
powers, wo find onr condition equally gratify
ing. Actuated by the sincere desire to do jus
tice to every nation, and to preserve I lie hies
■sings of peace, our intercourse with them has
been conducted on the part of tins Govern
ment in the spirit of (rankness, and 1 take
pleasure in saying, that it has generally been
met in a corresponding temper. Difficulties
of old standing have been surmounted by
friendly discussion, amt the mutual desire to
be just; and the claims of our citizens, which
bad been long withheld, have at length been
acknowledged and adjusted, and satisfactory
arrangements made for their final payment;
ami with a limited, and, 1 trust, a temporary
exception, our relations with every foreign
power aro now of the most friendly character
--our commerce continually expanding, and
our flag respected la every quarter of the
world.
These cheering and grateful prospects, and
those multiplied favors, we owe, under Provi
dence, to the adoption of the Federal Consti
tution. It is no longer a question whether
tins great country can remain happily united,
wnd flourish under our present form of go
vernment. Experience, the unerring lest ol
«ll human undertakings, has shown the wis
tfjmu and foresight of tiioae who formed it ;
*ml has proved, that in the union of these
Stales there is a sure foundation for the bright
est hopes of freedom, and for the happiness
of tho people. At, every hazard, and by every
sacrifice, this Union must he preserved.
The necessity of watching with jealous
anxiety for the preservation of tho Union,
was earnestly pressed upon Ins fcllow-citi
iisni by the Fattier of his country, in his laro
voll address. He has there told us, that
♦* while experience shall not have demonstra
ted Hs prtc icability, there will always he
reason to distrust the patriotism of those who
ip any quarter, insy endeavour to weaken Us
bonds ;'*and he has cautioned u« in the strong
est terms, against the formation of parties, on
geographical discriminations, as one of tho
means which might disturb our union, and to
which designing men would be likely to re
sort.
The lessons contained in (his invaluable
legacy of Washington to his countrymen,
should be cherished in the heart of every citi
zen to the latest generation ; and perhaps, at
no period of lime could they be more usefully
remembered than al the present moment.
For when we look upon the stenes that are
passing around us, aud dwell upon the pages
of his parting address, his paternal counsels
would seem to he nut merely die offspr og of
wisdom and foresgbt, but ibo voice of pro
phccy foretelling events and warning us oft he
evd* locome. Forty years have passed since
this imperishable document was given to his
countrymen. The Federal Constitution was
alien regarded by h m a* au exp rimeut, and
lie so s|teaks of it in his address ; hut an e\-
perim.mt upon the success of which the best
hopes of Ids country depend, and we all
know (bit ho was prepared to lay down his
Ufa, if accessary, to secure it a full and fan
frisl. The trial has been made. It has suc
ceeded beyond the proudest hopes of those
who framed it. Every quarter ot this widely
extended nitiou has felt its blessings, and
shifcd m the general prosperity produced by
its adoption. But amid this general prospe
rity and splendid success, the dangers ol
which he warned us, aye becoming ev ry day
more er d .ml, and the signs of evil are su(ji
< i -ntly app ire.it ta nwjkrjt the deepest anx
in lire bo? i;a of .'w pa'rioi. \> c behold
Vi - ’
V
ey*lrmaie offer's poli'r.ly in id* to sow the
sordini discord between (lifluiC t parts of tho
Un led Elates, and to place party divisions di
re -»ly upon geographical distinctions ; to es
c.le the south against the north, and Ili3 north
against the south, and to force into the con
-1 trorersy the most delicate and exciting topics;
’ —topics upon which it is impossible that
a large portion of the Union can ever speak
' without strong emotion. Appeals too, are
constantly made to sectional interests, in or
’ dcr to influence the election of the Chief Mj
| gisirate, as if it were desired that he should
; favor a particular quarter of the country, in
stead of tuliilling lire duties ol Ins station with
| impartial justice to all; and the possible dis
solution of the Union, has at length become
an ordinary and familiar subject of discussion.
Has the warning voice of Washington been
forgotten 1 or have designs already been form
ed to sever the Union 1 Let it not be sup
posed that I impute to all ot those who have
taken an active part in these unwise and un
-1 profitable discussions, s want of patriotism or
of public virtue. The honorable feeling of
Blate pride, and local attachments, find a
place in the bosoms of tho most enlightened
and pure. But while such men arc conscious
' of the.r own integrity and honesty of purpose
they ought never to forget that the citizens of
other .States are their political brethren; and
’ that, however, mistaken they may be in their
' views, the great body of them are equally
’ honest add upright with themselves. Mutual
1 suspicions and reproaches may in time create
' mutual hostility, ami artful and designing men
| will always bo found, who are ready to fo
-ment these fatal divisions, and to inflame the
' natural jealousies of dillcrent sections of the
1 country. The history of the world is full of
such examples, and especially tho history of
1 republics.
' What have you to gain by division and
dissention ? Delude not yourselves with the
1 belief that a brcacli once mode may ho aftcr
! wards repaired. If the Union is once severed,
' tho line of separation will grow wider and
1 wider, and the controversies which are now
' debated sm) settled in the halls of legislation,
will then be tried in the fields of battle, and
determined by the sword. Neither should
you deceive yourselves with tho hope, that
the first lino of separation would he tho per
manent one, and that nothing but harmony
and concord would bo found In the new as
sociations formed upon the dissolution of this
Union. Local interests would still he found
there, and unchastoned ambition, And if the
recollection ot common dangers, in which the
people of these United Slates s end side by
side against the common (bo; the memory of
victories won by their united valor; tho pros
per ty and happiness they have enjoyed under
the present constitution ; the proud name
they hare ns citizens of this great republic;
if all these recollections and proofs of com
mon interest nre not strong enough to hind
us together as one people, whirl lie will hold
united the now divisions of empire, when
these bonds have been broken and this Union
dissevered! The fust line of separation
would not last for a single generation ; now
fragments would he torn off; new leaders
would spring up; and this groat and glorious
republic would soon bo broken into a multi
tude of petty States, without, commerce, with
out credit; jealous of one another; armed (or
mutual aggression ; loaded with taxes to pay
armies and leaders; seeking aid against each
other from foreign powers; insulted and
trampled upon by tho nations of Europe, un
til harrassed with conflicts, and humbled and
debased in spirit, they would bo ready to sub
mit to the absolute dominion of any military
adventurer, and to surrender llioir liberty for
the sake of repose. It is impossible to look
on ilia consequoii os (lint would inevitably
follow the destruction ol this Government, ami
not fuel indignant when we hear cold calcula
tions about (lie value of the Union, and have
so constantly before us a lino of conduct so
well calculated to weaken its ties
Thorn is too much al slake to allow pride
or passion to influence your decision. Never
for a moment behove that the great body ol
the citizens of any Bintc or Stales cun delibe
rately intend to do wrong. They may, un
der the influence of temporary excitement or
misguided opinions, commit mistakes; they
may be misled for a time by the suggestions
of self-interest; but in a community so en
lightened ami patriotic ns the people of tho
United States, arguments will soon make
them sensible of their errors ; and, when con
vinced, they will bo ready to repair Ilium. If
they have no higher or belter motives to gov
■ern tlioin, they will nl. least perceive that their
own interest requires them to bo just to others
us they hope to receive justice ni their hands.
But in order to maintain the Union uuim
pared, it is absolutely necessary that the laws
passed by the constituted authorities should
ho faithfully executed in every part of tho
country, and that ever good citizen should, at
all limes, stand ready to put down, with tho
combined force of the nation, every attempt
at unlawful resistance, under whatever pretext
it may lie made, or whatever shape it may as
sume, Unconstitutional or oppressive laws
may soinot mos ho passed by Congress, either
from erroneous views, or the want of duo con
sideration; if they aro within tho roach of judi
cial authority, the remedy is easy ami peace
ful ; and if, (tom the character of tho law, it
is mi abuse of power not within the control
of the judiciary, then free discussion ami calm
’ appeals to reason audio the justice of the
’ people will not tail to redress the wrong.—
1 But until tho law shall be declared void by the
■ courts, or repealed by Congress, no individual,
, or combination ol individuals, can bo justified
! in forcibly resisting Us execution, it is ini
• possible that any Government can coliiiuo to
' exist upon any other principles. It would
’ cease to be a Government, and be unworthy
of the name, if it had not the power In
‘ enforce the execution of its own laws within
• its own sphere of action.
It is true that case* may be imagined disclo
• sing such a settled purpose of usurpation and
I oppression, on tho part of tho Government,
• as would justify an appeal to arms. Those,
l ' however, arc extreme cases, which we have
■' no reason to apprehend in a Government
8 whore the power is in the hands of a patriotic
• people; and no citizen who loves his country
II would, in any case whatever, resort to forci
e ble resistance, unless be clearly saw that the
0 lime had come when a freeman should prefer
• death to submission; for if such a struggle is
once begun, and the citizens ot one section
c of the country arrayed in arms against those
'■ of another in doubtful conflict let the battle
- result as it may, there will bo an end of the
' Union, ami, with it, an end to the hopes ot
y freedom. The victory ot the injured would
■ not secure to them the blessing of liberty;
e it would avenge their wrongs, but they would
H themselves share in the common ruin.
s Out the constitution canuot be maintained,
f nor the Union preserved, in opposition to pub
- lie feeling, by the mere exertion of the cocr
c cive powers confided to the Gcne-al Govern
c meiit. The foundations must be laid in the
• «fle uions of the people; in the security it
“ gives to lilo, liberty, character, and property,
d in every quarter of tho country; and in the
- fraternal attachment which the citizens of the
it severe’ S ates hour to one another as members
II of one political family, mutually contributing
s to promote the happiness of each other,
ir Hence tho citizens of every Stale should stu
!- diously avoid every thing calculated to wound
e the sensibility or oflend the just pr.de of the
y people of other States; and they should
d frown upon any proceedings within their bar
y ders likely to disturb tho tranquility of their
i- political brethren in other portion* of the
it Union. In a country so extensive hs the U.
y Slates, and with pursuits so varied, the iutcr
.. nal regulations of the several Slates, must
> frequently d ffor fiont one another in imper
il tant particulars; and this d ficrcm »i$ nut
c voiiiably mi.rt'nsi d by th# varying principle*) 1 1
b upon which the American colouu* were nri-j.
- eimlly planted; principle# which had taken i
. deep root in tgoir social relations before ) lie i
'i Uevululion, and, therefore, of noeesaiiy influ- >
■ encing the p ilicy »meo they became Irea and
; in lepemtanl State#. But cash State has the I
I unquestionable right 1o regulate i»» own inter- ;
t nal concerns according to its own pleasure ; i
i and while it docs not interfere w.th tho rights j
. of tfie people of other Stales, or, the rights |
-of tlie Union, every Slate must he the sole |
1 judge of the measures proper to secure the i
. safety of its citizens and proa ole their J
i happiness ; and all < itbrts on the part of j
- tho people of other States to cast odium
e upon their institutions, and all measures
. calculated to disturb their rights of pro
i perty, or to put in jeopardy their peace and
• internal tranquility, are in direct opposition to
- the spirit in which the Union was formed, and
5 must endanger its safely. Motives of phi
. lanlhropy may be assigned for this umvar
r rentable interference; and weak men may
f persuade themselves for a moment that they
i are laboring in the cause of humanity,, and i
i asserting the rights of the human race; bin'
s every one, upon sober reflection, will see that
e nothing but mischief can come from thescim
f proper assaults upon tho feelings & rights of
1 others. Rest assured, that the men found besy
r in this work of discord are not worthy of
y your confidence, and deserve your strongest
1 reprobation.
a Jn the legislation of Congress, also; and in
i every measure of the General Government,
- justice to every portion of the U. Stales should
5 be faithfully observed. No free Government
a can stand without virtuo in the people; and,a
f lofty spirit of patriotism and if the sordid feel
f ings of more selfishness shall usurp the place
which ought to be filled by public spirit, toe 10-1
1 gislstion of Congress will soon be converted
; into a scramble for personal and sectional ad
vantages. Under our free institutions the citi
, zon* of every quarter of our country are espa-
I blc of attaining a high degree of prosperity
i and happiness, without seeking to profitthem
, selves at the expense ofolhcrs; and every such
1 attempt must in the ene fail to succeed, for
I tho people In every part of the United States
I arc too enlightened not to understand their
■ own rights and interests, and to detect and
' defeat every effort to gain undue advantages
over them, snd when such designs are dis
i covered, it naturally provokes resentments
I which cannot always bo easily allayed. Jus
-1 tice, full and ample justice, to every portion of
1 the United .Slates should be the ruling princi
! pie of every freeman, and should guide the de
liberations of every public body whether it be
• Slate or national.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Wismsuros, March 6, 1837.
I The Senate Chamber was, on tho last night
I of the session, the scene of one of the moat in
! lervsting and animated debates that ever took
( place within tho walla of tho Capitol. The For
tification Bills wore brought in from the House
[ of Representatives, with a message informing the
Senate that the House had resolved to adhere to
1 the distribution clause. Mr. Wright thereupon
! moved that the Senate adhere to their amendment;
that is, to striking out the distribution clause.
Mr. Calhoun opposed the motion in a speech
which I learn was distinguished for impressive
ness and energy. I had not the good fortune to
hear it. I found Mr. Webster urging on the
Senate, with simple and unforced earnestness, (be
justice and expediency of receding from the
course of resistance to distribution on which they
had entered. He freely owned that he had acted
’ on the Deposilc Hill at the last session as a single
' operation. Ho never dreamed that a measure so
[ extraordinary would be any part of a permanent
and established system of policy. Ho thought
| Congress would certainly, at the present session,
. lako up the subject of the revenue with a view to
, reduction. He had been in favor of reduction—
, ami therefore voted fiir Mr. Wright's hill notwith
standing its many objectionable features. But
, that measure had failed. Tho same fate attended
tho Land Bill; and wo now stand precisely where
, wo did in July last; with no reduction of the
receipts from customs —with no alteration of (he
law as lo the sale of public lands—there must he
s suiplus. If the Senate should adhere to their
amendment for striking out the distribution
clause, the Fortification Bill would bo lost, and
1 the surplus will he greater by the amount of ap
propriations contained in that hill. The only
1 question then was BS lo what ought to bo done
with the money on hand, and he earnestly ap
pealed to the Hcnato to dispose of it in the man
-1 ner proposed by the House.
Mr. Benton supported the motion lo adhere in
■ s speech distinguished by unusual violence and
i coarseness. He began with a fling to those who
, supported tho Currency Dill—confident, I doubt
not, that the President had that baled measure
i safely flowed away in his breeches pocket. He
| declared that if the Treasury Circular should bo
i rescinded, the customs would bo all tire govern
ment had lo go upon. Tire whole public land
, would bo turned into paper; for which not a so
t lid dollar could he got in exchange.
t He was very rapid in remarking on tho loss of
his pet projects, the hills for making now forlifi
-9 cations, and increasing the Military Establish
j ment of the U. Slates. Ho believed they were
purposly defeated, so Ih it the amount for distri
bution might be increased. As lodistiilmtion.bo
•vowed Ids most determined and perpetual oppo
sition. He would rather that all the hills before
J Congress should,fall, than that the money in the
• Treasury not required for the wants of Govern
-1 ment should bo given back to its rightful owners
> —the people.
■ Mr. Walker followed on tho simo side. Mr.
) Ewing and Mr. Davis opposed the motion to ad
, here.
I Mr. Wright replied to Mr. Davis. Ho made
■ use of a remark which every one understood to bo
1 a reflection on the House of Representatives. He
1 said tlint the reason why so much was now on
y hand, was because the session had been wasted
i in useless and irrelevant discaa|tous to the neglect
l of public business.
Mr. Clay instantly rose and called Mr. Wright
. to order.
| Tho Chair said he did not perceive the Sena
tor was out of order.
’ Mr. Clay said he would make the point. Tho
’ allusion to the other House, he maintained, was
" perfectly distinct and unambiguous.
The majority, of course, sustained the decision
• of the Chair; and Mr. Wright proceeded.
Mr. Clay then took tho floor and replied to
him iu one of the most noble and effective bursts
; of eloquence that over electrified an audience.
r Notwithstanding the decision of tho majority, ho
' declared it would bc*a fatal day, when a member
1 of one branch of Congress might refer to another
2 with reproaches such as bad fallen from Mr.
a Wright. What had given pretext for them ?
L ' The Senate passed a Land Bill, a most unconsti
'■ tutional and iniquitous measure. Did the fact it
1 its having gone through the Senate render of
; imperative on the Hou<e to adopt it ? When
I did the House lose its independence 1 Are
they less free, honest, and patriotic than the
!, Senate 1 The Senate passed an act for inereas
- ing the military establishment Had the House
. no right to judge of the propriety of this measure 1
. The Senate passed bills for the most wasteful
, and profligate expenditures. When did that
t body absorb all the powers of government - ? The
other branch, he maim lined had acted properly.
. “Goon !” exclaimed Mr. Clay, in tones that rang
J through the t lumber, and turning to die repre-
oentativea of the people who surround him, and
' filled the aisle, “Go on, noble House of Repre
sentatives—continue to perforin your duty, as
you have done this day. It is the last day—
j thank God for all his mercies)—the last day of
• | the administration of Andrew Jackson. We
' j have laid on a hard bed for lire last eight years.
; To-morrow begins the administration of Marlin
" Van Buron. Whether the bed will l o softer
r i hereafter is doubtful—but at least we shall have
5 J, the privilege of turning over to the other side,
• and resting our wearied muscles, which have been
-. so lung distrained.”
l | This true orator then pronounced a glowing
- 1 eulogiuoi on the House for having burst the bonds
• ot y-otv, qn 1 ri-en to 111# dignity o! American
statesmen. Th# quer/ion h« Slid, was,— ,- Thc
People vr. The Doposite Bonks.” Tho House had I
given a verdet for the People. And yet Senators a
Dsj in t leir place and (i-nounced the people’s i
representative l- , instead of rendering them the '
honor that was duo. I
Tiic whole speech was one continued flow of '
evet brilliant and impicssi .ejcloquenee—to which <
the most musical voice, the most expressive looks, i
the most significant and striking gestures gave »
thsir combined energy and gracefulness. He con
cluded with ilivlaring his intention to go with
the House of Representatives for the Bill and tho
Distribution Clause; and against the Party who
were ready to sjcrifiea every thing, in order to
I keep the money in irresponsible corporations.
Mr. Wright said a few words in explanation
and disclaiming any intention to revile the House
of Representatives.
Mr. Clay thought proper lo bring the matter to
• close at on e. llc declared dial if Mr. Wright
would rise in his place and say he did not mean
his rcllerlions for the House of Representatives,
he would lake back all he said.
Mr. Wright made no sign! Mr. Curthbert
then rose ami undertook to lecture Mr. Clay—but
the Kentuckian thought the Georgian was game
much lo small—ami after bestowing on him a
word or two let him go.
As youi readers know, the result of all was the
loss of lire Fortification Bill, carrying with it the
Distribution Clause.
CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.
~AV<awrA.
Monday Evening, March 13, 1837.
We had another small fire on Saturday night.
It broke out in the rear of Mr. Jones’s Cotton
Gin shop aliovo the new Market on Broad street,
The alarm was rapidly spread by the city watch,
and the flames arrested after consuming but one
small building.
Tho celebrated Calabrian Brothers give a Con
cert at Mr. Parson*’ Piano Room to-morrow
evening. The lovers of good music have all
heard of them, and will no doubt avail themselves
of this last opportunity of hearing the unrivalled
brothers.
By reference to our commercial head it will be
seen that there has been a groat failure in New
Orleans, fur seven millions of Dollars. The
House which failed is not named in the Ameri
can, tire paper from which wo extract the notice
of the failure.
Tho doctrine i* now openly advanced by two
leading Union papers in this State, the Conslitu
tionisl of this place, and the Standard at Mil
ledgeville, that the Legislature has the power lo
annul bank clnrtcrs heretofore granted by the
Stale, before their expiration. The Constitution of
the United Slates declares that no State shall pass
any law “ impairing the obligation of contracts.”
The Supreme Court of the United States, has
long since decided that Bank charters are •con
tracts between the State and tho Stockholders,
and the public mind has fully acquiesced in this
decision ever since. Os the same character with
Bank charter*, are Rail Road charters. They
•land upon the same footing, and belong to the
same class of contracts. If tho Legislature has
the power to repeal a Bank charter, so it has the
power to repeal and annul a Rail Road charter.
In both cases the Legislature confers certain rights
and privilege* upon the stockholders, in conside
ration of their benefiting the public ; the first by
affording a good, convenient currency—the latter
by establishing artificial channels of communica
tion between different sections of the country.
Wc now put the question to the owners of Dank
stock and Rail Road Block, whether they are pre
pared for the establishment of a doctrine which
place* their rights, their privileges, and their very
existence at the mercy of a whimsical Legisla
ture ? What say you Stockholders in the
Augusta Bank, and in tho Georgia Rail Road ?
Are the former prepared to behold a charter which
they have held so long and looked upon as so se
cure, hung upon tho caprice of future Legisla
ture*, dependent perhaps upon the fluctuations
of political parties ? Are the latter prepared to
submit to a doctrine which invests the Legisla
ture with power to repeal their Banking privi
leges ; to check the progress of their great work
when it is half completed and stop the wheels of
their engines the first day they are put upon the
road ? Those who are tho advocates of this doc
trine are the friends of Benton’s favorite hobby,
the “ hard money system,’’ and let them once
establish the principle that the Legislature can
annul Bank charters, and they will not be slow lo
carry it into execution for the purpose of estab
lishing that system. Let all honest men frown
wilh indignation upon a doctrine which threatens
to overthrow at one blow all tho groat interests
of eocicty —a doctrine broached only for vile
parly purposes, to enable demagogues to ride info
office, and fallen upon the ruin of the people.
The . Meeting' in ,Vow Tori'.—We learn from
the New York Express that the meeting which
took place in that city on Monday afternoon con
sisted of about five thousand persons. Several
addresses were made and a scries of resolutions
proposed, denouncing banks, bankers, landlords
and monopolists of every description, which were
carried by acclamation, after which the meeting
adjourned, and the multitude quietly dispersed to
their homes.
It V BIPBEBB MAIL.
Arrival ofihe Packet Ship Eric. —Our read
ers will bo glad to hear that this ship, about
which such serious apprehensions have been felt,
arrived at New York on Tuesday morning. She
met with no disaster, and was delayed only by
calms, having been forty days on the coast.
Her cargo is worth between $400,000 and $500,-
000.
From the Ear York Commercial, March 7.
ARRIVAL OF THE ERIE.
It is with no ordinary degree of pleasure that
wo announce, to-day,the arrival ofihe long look
ed for packet ship Eric, Capt. Funck. Captain
F. experienced the gale of the 25th of Decem

LATEST FROM TEXAS.
By the Bvron we have received our regular
files of the Texas Telegraph to the 21st. ulf. It
appears that Bravo has gone to the capital, and
that Gen. Aniada was at Mctainoras, with four
or five thousand men. His intention was lo despat
ch a force of eight hundred mounted men to lake
posossion of fan Antonio and Goliad, after which
commissionner# were lo Iks sent to the Govern
ment of Texas, for tho purpose of definitely treat
ing for peace.
The army, on the 17th of Febuary, was in

and though engaged in agricultural operations,
had their guns in good shooting order.

closed heavy; there was more doing and belter pri

cipally made at from 16 to 17 eta..; the demand be
ing much greater for the prime qualities, and it was
only in lots that the inferior and middling qualities
could be worked off. We now quote 14 al7 cents
as the going rates.

Stained at 12ocnts. Tho transactions of the week
have not been as extensive as was contemplated con
sidering the season and tho large slock on hand,this
is owing in some measure to Iho unfavorable state
of the weather during a part of tho week, together
with the circumstance that there are but few vessels
loading for Europe altogether with Cotton, and
others that are up for European ports, not ready lo
take their cargoes. Tho present demand is chiefly
confined to prime and choico Uplands Our last
advices from Liverpool are to the 25th January ; we
observe no change of consequence in that market.
Havre dates are lo the 18th January ; that market
had been more active, without any change in prices.

Cotton. —The cotton market, we may say, ha*
undergone little or no change for a week past.
Itisfinn and has been so for ten days, at least.
But owing lo the weather it was duil enough on
Monday and Tuesday. The chief cause is this;
there arc now perhaps 20,000 bales on the whar
ves which, on account of the ever pouring rains,
cannot be opened and fairly sampled. As soon
as bright, clear wither dawns upon us, there will
ho a very large supply of cotton on the market
pressed forward for sale—and we shall not be
surprised if a slight reduction in the prices takes
place in consequence, although the advices from
Liverpool to the IGth and 17th January, receiv
ed here yesterday, show that that great market
still continued to be firm with a slight upward
tendency. There were but few bales yesterday,
and but a few on Monde y. We quote as the ex
tremes of the two days 16$ 13$. There was one
sale yesterday of 550 bales at 13] —ordinary cotton

From tiic New Orleans True American, March 7.
Wo arc fallen on singular and anomalous limes. In
the midst of imoxaro tiled prosperity, w hen all tho
avenues of trade arc’ open, when money is abundant
for the ordinary operations of commerce, we are
called upon lo record several extensive failures in
volving an amount almost alarming to the general
credit. On Saturday, one of our largest and most
influential houses failed for seven millions, carrying
with it full five millions more. When and where
this is to stop wo know not. The rage ft r specula
tion has bean so great, that there is no estimating the
amount ofrosponsibilities incurred. It does not ap
pear to have been confined to real estate. Over
trading in the slnp’o articles of the country on the
part of a favored few, has led to this disastrous stale
of things. Yot in the midst of those extraordinary
failures, the business ot the country is going on stead
ily, This is a proof of tho stability of our mercan
tile friends. It is thought that some of the houses
which have stopped payment will bo able to resume
business in a few days.
As may bo expected, cotton operations under such
circumstances are not likely lo flourish. No sales
were recorded by the hoard of brokers

WALL STREET,
March 8.
Certain specie operations again agitated Wall
street yesterday. A draft for $50,000 proceeding
from Boston, was presented for specie, and good
drafts on Boston, at a premium, refused. Nothing
but the specie would be taken. The small affair
soon spread about the street, and shocked every
bank within the magic circle. So low is the slock
of specie in our banks, that the slightest call
throws them into a panic and fever. Probably
the whole amount of specie now in all our banks
in the city, docs not exceed 3 500,000 dollars—
a very small sum on which to transact all the
foreign and domestic exchanges. In order to re
lieve the apprehension that a shortness may cre
ate, or the effect it might produce on exchange, a
large draft, varying from $250,000 to $400,000,
was sent on to Philadelphia, to get a supply from
that quarter. This was to be presented yesterday
or today, and was therefore expected to produce
some sensation. The drain of specie Irom us to
the south has been quiet of late—yet more is an
ticipated from Charleston in a few weeks, or days.
We arc now preparing here to make calls upon
Charleston for the specie they have already drawn,
and in a short time it must come hack to this
central point of commerce and exchanges.
Stocks yesterday again fell, and the tangour in
creased. The Delaware & Hudson made a long
and curious expose of their concerns t) the stock
holders. As near as we could learn, they claim a
surplus of $121,675, from which they propose to
make a dividend before the day of judgment.
There is a tradition in the street, that on some
former occasion, far removed into the dark ages,
the Delaware & Hudson once made a dividend of
3 per cent. But this tradition is so outre that
it has as few believers, as that they intend to make
one hereafter. The Report will probably be pub
lished, as a vote was taken to that effect.
The great speculation in the street is that in
relation to the new Executive Government. What
will President Van B uren do ? Will he continue
the present state of things 1 "V? ill he repeal the
Treasury Circular ? Will he aid and protect
commerce? Will he follow the footsteps of his
predecessor ? These arc the only topics of dis
cussion that wo meet with at every corner.
Scarcely two men can be found of the same o
pinion on the subject. The best opinion seems
to be, that Mr. Van Burcn will learn towards
the reforests of commerce, only so far as he
conceives commerce *may lean toward his re
election. This is very indefinite, but it may be
considered as near the fact as wc can get to the
new President.
Exchange yesterday closed at 8} on England.
The supply was equal to the demand, and all the
operations passed off very quietly.
A large sale of China silks, received per ships
Cabot and Exchange, to the amount ofßso cases
were made by Messrs. Austin, Wilmering & Co.,
at 6 months credit. The sale was very well at
tended, but there was rather decline from former
prices, in almost every article. Also, 200 packa
ges foreign and domestic dry goods, by Adee,
Timpson & Co. The sale was not very fully at
tended, owing perhaps to tire attractions at the
Canton sale, although the goods uniformly main
tained former prices. Also 22 hhds. Kentucky
tobacco, at 2}, 3,3 j, 3J cents, 4 months ; 16 bags

department has about filly students, and is under
the direction of Mr Augustus Ahlen, whose ac
knowledged abilities as an instructor of youth, ad
ded to many years experience in his profession emi
nently entitle him to the patronage of the public.
Tire Female department has upwards of sixty pu
pils, and is under lire care of Miss A. P. Hamilton,
a lady of superior literary attainments, whose sys
tem of discipline and mode of instruction have been
highly approved, and have secured for her a charac
ter as an instructress, perhaps unrivalled in this sec
tion of country. The Trustees have engaged the
services of Miss M. A. Miller, as an assistant, who
is a lady well qualified to for the discharge of her
duties.
In the department of Music, they have the servi
ces of Miss E. A. llevvett, who was a successful w
and highly approved teacher of tho science of rau- *
sic in the Sparta Female Seminary lire last year.
In anticipation of numerous acquisitions to both
departments, by the commencement of another
quarter, they arc happy to state that they have tho
promise of the Rev. Francis Bowman to hear reci

They expect also in a short lima to engage a com
