Dear Sir—l reocivod yout very grulilyin({
Idler by lire mail before ihr- lasi, and have
to return yon my must sincere acknowledg
ments (or the honor of your invitation, to at
tend the Convention ol ihe Maryland State
Temperance Society, to be held in ihe city of
Baltimore, on the Inst Wednesday of thin
month; and for the fluttering terms in which
you arc pleased to couch your request for me
to attend its silting.
Von were correctly informed, sir, when
told that I am an advocate of the temperance
cause, and 1 consider it one <>l the highest
compliments you could have paid me lo credit
the report. To be a member of a temperance
aocieiy is to the stranger, with roc, otic id the
highest recommendations of character, not
only for sobriety, but ;. ' moat of ihi; virtues
winch constitute a d citizen.
U would give me lit greatest pleasure lo
attend the convention, Lu: cry recent domes
tic afflictions of the severest kind, compel rue
to forego that pleasure, and lo decline your
invitation. I may however, avail myself very
properly I hope, of this opportunity of hear
ing my testimony to the effects of Temper
ance, by vindicating my moral character from
the aspersions and calumnies which have
been caul upon it by the insinuations of profli
gate partisan presses—ih.it in my humble eff
ort* in congress lo restore a pure and a free
admidif irai.oii of the government, I have been
habitually or at limes, more stimulated by ul
cbh'i ih mi ! \ .. of country.
No fi, J i i Lilly years old and for UlO
lost eight years and some months of my life, I
have not taslrd a table spoonful of ardent spir

have never bought or used ardeiii spirits at nil,
and but touched wine at times in observance
merely of the forms of society at tbo Aletro
polis. lam thus particular in regard lo my
self, cii, in order that I may most emphatically
reply to those who would impair certain state
ments which 1 have made ns a public man to
the nation, by the imputation ol intemperance
to me, by saying—“l was not mad,” nor was
1 drunk, “noble FesUia.”
Another reason for this particularity ns to
my own case is louhowodiat the beam is out
ot my own eye before 1 proceed to point out
the mole in the oyesol others. It has, for
tumiiely or uiilbrlnnaldy, 1 know nut which
fallen to my lot in (fliblic life lo bo the Instru
ment of exposing abuses m public affairs, and
offences in the men who conduct thorn.—
Such as 1 think worthy ot exposition, 1 shall
not shrink from easitgatiiig by speaking of
them in my place and out of my place at will,
without any regard whatever lo personal con
sequences. 1 state the fact then, to Ihe na
tion, that some of the higher Executive olfl
cors at Washington are and have been notori
ous drunkards —drunkards in my sense of the
term, habitually affected by ardent spirils—
drunk at least once a week; impaired in con
utitution by the use of si rung drink; and 1 fur
ther slate, that. I have often heard the reason
assigned, and believe it was u valid one for the
House of Kcpsuscnlulivcs of the Congress of
the United Stales nut sitting in the evening
idler dinner, when the public business requir
ed it, that many of the members were so much
in the habit of intoxication, that they wore not
cuily unlit themselves for public duly after a j
certain hour in the day, but were likely to pre
vent others in discharging their duly by in
terrupting the order of proceeding. During
the latter part of the session of Congress,when
the two houses wore compelled to sit late,
members 100 drunk for the decency of a lav-!
cm i> room, were not uncommon sights in
the .Venal,i Chamber, and in the Hall of the
Horn ol Representatives of a republic,whose
lath' is handed down lo it the hallowed and
inn , able truth, "that no tree government or
the h .: of liberty can be preserved lu any
people but by firm adherence to justice, mod
era!. i;\, temperance, frugality and virtue!” 1
These are facts, sir, which in my name, if’
you choose, you may bfing lo the attention of:
the Convention as worhy of the audition of)
the people of the United Status. Imu utter-1
Jv opposed to making the temperance cause a I
political engine in any way whatever, but if
the friends el temperance will aid in ridding'
Congress of sots—no matter to what political!
party they may belong, for they are a dis

ing lo ihe eye of the imagination Uie beauties of
some little speck of the terrestrial universe, some
liny island in the vast ocean, shaded with ever-1
greens, where the sun ever shines and birds sing, I 1
aud where cold and heat are equally unknown. 1
But to few, how very few, are the images of fancy
realised!
Indian Key is ilnit isl nd—that speck of the
universe—the original of fancy’s brightest pic- 1
ture It may he truly said that the sun always
shines upon it, the birds ever sing under the shade
of its Cvergiceiis, aud that heat and cold are equal
ly unknown. fciuillgive a description of this
I- beautiful i-luinl, drawn n. 1 hum fancy, t ut irah
ty, not from iiclion, but truth.
Indian Key iaooe of the long chain of iilaruls
extending from (tape Florida to the Toitugas, a
' distance of 180 miles. It is situated about nilil
! way lielween t ape Florida and Kew West, ill
latitude 24° 4H ' N.. and longitude 80° 50" W.,
within two miles of it tic old and new Maucomby,
I-ignuin Vito,, and 'l’ea Table Keys. Upon Old
Matacomby Is a fine spring ol clear fresh water.
I said lo possess qualities of rejuvenescence. An
opinion obtains, toP, on the coast, that he who
! minks of ilj will desire te diink again; and that
wherever he may roan, alter having once drank
-of it, he will live to return and repeal the draught,
-j In superficies Indian Key does not exceed
; ! twelve acres. Ila shape is like the segment ot a
I! sphere, rounding gradually from its circular coast
s 10 the centre of the island. It has been cntiiely
1 ’ disrobed ol ita native wood and foliage. On the
!• I north part of the island is situated the dwelling
of Captain Housman, the principal proprietor ol
1 the island. It is a two story wooden building,
b ; surrounded on two sides with large galleries, and
I finished in a neat modern style. In the morning
I it is shaded by a row of large cocoa nut nees.—
. The cocoa nut is the queen of ornamental trees.
,! Its smooth and polished trunk—it* long, pendant
, and ever verdant branches, waving to the breeze,
exhibit a grace, a beauty, and queen-like majesty,
unequalled by any other tree within my know
ledge. Across the west and south sides of the is
' land are two rows of neat little sloiy and a hall
■ ruling! s, painted while, wiih green window Idinda.
'' They constitute two sides of a right angled Irian
-1 gle. The China, nr Pride of India tree, has been
y planted in front of thorn, and has acquired a con
• sidcroble growth. In the centre of the island is
■ Capl. linesman's garden. It is enclosed with a
1 white paling, and surrounded on every side with
3 cocoa nut trees. I shall attempt lie description
-of the beauties of this garden. 1 shall only say,
- that here grow the plantain, the banana, the
1 pomegranate, the orange, lemon, lime mid citron,
1 lo regale the appetite, and cveiy variety of bios
- som and flower lo please the eye. Mr Howe’s
house is situated over the water, and Ims under
j noatll a fine establishment for sea-bathing. 1 shall
) name hut one building more. This is Mr. Spcti
. cer's hotel, a fine spacious building with rooms
) for the accommodation of a large number of boar
. ders. Mr, Spencer and lady arc natives of Vir
ginia, and like most Virginians, hospitable, gene
rous, an I fond of good cheer. The establishment
is will provided for the accommodation of nucli
. persons as flee flora the icy grasp of a norllnqn
, winter to the sunny clime of the south. Besides
, its other attractions, such persons' will hero see a
flower of exotic growth, but domesticated on the
island, of more exquisite beauty and loveliness
than flic garden violet or flic Idly of the valley.
Much is Indian Key. On the north, us far as
the eye can extend, you behold an open placid
1 buy, interspersed with numerous islands, like Itllle
' dots seen in the moon through a telescope. On
' account of the inequalities hi the depth nf the
water, and of the ddl’ercnt colors of the bottom,
1 nil the lines of the rainbow niu reflected. Ills
' the most beautiful water scenery in tile world.
The climate of Indian Key is, without doubt,
(he most equable, mild and salubrious of any in
North America. Indeed, 1 doubt whether it be
surpassed by any in tbo world. The extremes
of cold and heal are entirely unknown. Since the
settlement of the coast in 1823, the thermometer
has not indicated a temperature lower than 41c
nor higher than title—ufcourse frost is unknown.
Dining ihn suintnvr months the mercury general
ly ranges between 75c and 80c. This beat is by
no means found oppressive, its effects being re
lieved by a constant, cool and refreshing sea
breeze.
The salutary effects of this climate in restoring
consumptive patients to health, have been fre
quently demonstrated. The present resident
physician nt Key West, is an instance of its ros
tornlivo virtues. Invalids afflicted with a gener
al debility and prosliolion of eonstitution, have
found the sea lirue/.o a sale and powerful tonic.
I say, then, to the invalid and to (ho man of
pleasure who seeks a refuge from a northern
winter take 11 trip to Indian Key. A packet
mail schooner sails from Charleston the 15:h of
every month In this place. If the bounty and
variety of scenery ami the lovtincssof tbo climate
cease u> charm as they become familiar lie may
readily run across the (lull' to Huvanna. Then
if his heart be mado of impenetrable stuffhc may
amuse himself in the company of the charming
Signoras and Siguotilas.

We devote much of our space to the senti

on such occasions are Usually regarded its
pretty accurate exponents of public feeling.
From 1110 toasts, which have como under
our observation, we inter that party spirit has

at others, they wore alluded lo very mildly,and
at a low others again, whig toasts only were

from the tenor of what we have seen of it, and

lake him lo be one of those designing & ambitions

Mn. Eiu ron.—An unfair and unjust affair
has been transacted lielween the town Corpora
tion and eiturens. His this: For several weeks
an advertisement was published in our papers,
previous to tho Ist of July, informing our good
citizens to prepare for an inspection of tho Health
Committee. Lots were required to be tilled up,
water drained off from low situations, limes to be
used freely in all places, Ac. Well, we, tho citi
zens, have been prepared for the last 13 days for
tillsOommiuce’fl inspection. But notwithstand
ing all our caro and preparation, instead of this
Health Committee, tho inusyuitors have conic
and made us and unpleasant visit. Now, whence
do these troublesome insects arise to annoy us
so much at night. Whose fault s it that they
have, come upon us 1 for wo hold it to bo a self
evident proposition that they can be prevented.—
Wo have only to remember that in 1834, when
the only efficient Health Committee Augusta ev
er hail, (in cholera times,) there was scarcely a
mosquito to be found during that whole year.—
Wo know that many of our citizens never used
a net that whole summer. If then our citizens
have employed the usual means for promoting
health during the past 30 days; and bearing in
mind that it has not rained once this whole
mouth, and also that Mr, Hate lias given us pre
cious little hydrant water during this period, we
ask if the mosquitoes ought to have suddenly
commenced their attacks upon us last week.
Whence then come they 1 Why, we will tell you;
and in this consist tho unfair mid unjust transac
tion. The Regatta this evening was tho cause
oftlic discovery.
\V ithout any kind and preparatory notice to
tho City U ouncil, llte citizens assembled upon the
river bank, snd there were found several boats,
M'ithinthe corporate limits, ha f filled with slag
unlit water. Now wc consider this unfair and
unjust. In one case the citizens weic told to be
prepared for tho health committee, and that com
mittee came not; and, in the other, without any
notice, the citizens have unkindly visited anil in
spected tlw operations of said committee.
In all this wo censure no one. Health Com
mittees in Augusta, except in great excitement,
are all a larco. Wo would ask, what do
cent man would voluntarily inspect a private I
house ond lot, and thrust his nose into every cor
ner! And all this free gratis for nothing, as
Faddy would say. It is not to be expected that
our Health Committee, as now organized, will
faithfully discharge all (he duties required to pro
mote llte cleanliness and health of our city. Let
us learn wisdom from experience. Let Iho Cily
Council do as they have done in Charleston, ap
point a City Inspector, and lhr-n,|and not until
then, will these duties he performed.

Gem Mibahcao B Lamaii, Vice President

with their splendid bran# band, commamlci) by
Captain Seymour, and the Bibb Cavalry, uniter 1
the command of Copt. Eckley, paraded, and mar- • n
died out to meet him. He waa received by Copt. j
Seymour, on the part of the Military, in an #P* j
proprialc address, to which he replied in a idiort, , ti
but animated speech. He was then escorted to r
the eily by the two companies, and conducted to ■ '
the Melhodial Church, where the citizens bad 1 I
assembled to greet him. He was welcomed by I a
the citizens through Win. S. C. Reid, in Ins usn- b
at clo<iucnl and interesting style, lo his native j v
! .Stale ; in reply to which he addressed the auu-
ence in a feeling, animating and eloquent strain ,
Texas was the theme upon which he delighted
1., dwell. After bringing toonr imagination the t
diversified fields, meadows and praties ot that [ i
delightful country, be went in a short detail ol
the history connected with it. Upon the treach
ery and inhumanity of Santa Anna in the cruel '
slaughter of the Georgia Battalion, he spoke with .
unusual eloquence and feeling, causing the tear
of sympathy to flow from many eyes. Os the <
memorable battle of San Jacinto, he also spoke t
with the same degree of eloquence, it will he i
recollected that Gen. Lamar was one among the i
distinguished heroes on that victorious occasion ; i
and while Santa Anna and his mercenary sol- t
divrs were fleeing from before the deadly lire ol i
these Texiln patriots, whose war cry was “THE
ALAMO,TUB ALAMO,” so deeply did he feel
in consequence of the assassination at Goliad,
that he never Once thought of the cruel and un
timely fate of those who fell at the Alamo, but
rushed on to victory with his war cry o< “VEN
GEANCE AND THE GEORGIA BATTA
LION.”
After Gen. Lamar had concluded his address,
(of which we have given and imperfect accout,)
he was Conducted lo the Washington Hall, where
a eolation was provided for himjand the military,of
which they partook, and dispersed, all praying
that Texas might long enjoy that liberty and in
dependence for which her citizens so gallantly
fought*— Macon Telegraph.
Sixoui.au Fact connected with the Expe
riment or the Currency Tinkers. —ln the
Western and Southwestern Stales there are 29
Deposits Bank*. On the Ist Nov. last their lia
bilities were $40,575,302; and their specie $5,-
93r,90fi —about 8 for 1. Mr. Ewing, late Sena
tor from Ohio, who was “expunged” Irom office
for telling the truth, said, in a speech commenting
upon Ihc revenues received from the public lauds,
that “very soon after the removal of the deposiles
the amount of public money rose lo an immense
sum, and as it was credit only, it possessed the
attribute of multiplying itself to an indefinite ex
tent. There was, fur example, one million of
dollars of the public money in a deposito bank,
more than would be probably drawn out in the
current year for the purposes of government) that
hank would therefore lord this million for the
purpose of making interest upon it. The money
so loaned would be paid into the land offices or
for customs, arid immediately deposited in the
same hank, to ho loaned again and again for the
same purpose.’
There is another singular fact connected with
the Experiment, It is this:—From the year 1821
to the year 1834 {thirteen years,) the revenues
received by the Government for the public lands
amounted annually, if wo .equalize the sales of the
thirteen years, to an average annual sale of sl,-
753,142. —The average annua! sale for lire last
three years amounts to $15,000,bt?0, or in three
years lo $45,000,000; and during the year 1836,
the sales amounted to $24,600,000 !!
Let tiie intelligent reader compare the above
fact connected with the Deposit Banks with the
facts connected witli the sales of tho Public Lands
in the last paragraph. The question will natur
ally suggest itself, who afforded the means for
speculation in the Luhlic Lands, which the Ad
ministration presses maintain has been tire chief
cause of the pressure! Was it the Deposits
Banks, who loaned out their monies almost with
out limitation! If so, who is responsible for the
measure! or if it was riot so, and the Deposito
Dunks wore and arc no more to blame than other
banking institutions, how came it that,the Van
Durcn Legislatures of New York, Mississippi,
Missouri, and other Van Buron States, increased
the capitals of their Stale and local Banks nearly
fourlold! In cither case tho responsibility rests
with the Administration; and were it not that the
day of political wonders was past, we should he
surprised at the miserable shuttling of tho friends
of Mr. Van Buron, who meet only tho repeated
arguments of historical fact with an open denial.

TWO DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND.
Tho packet ship Pocahontas arrived at this
port yesterday from Liverpool, bringing London
papers of the 7th June, and Liverpool of the Bth.
Extracts from these will he found belew.
No later intelligence had been received from
tho United States when the Pocahontas sailed,
consequently (hey had not heard of the suspen
sion of specie payments bv our banks, though
that event, We learn by private advices, was anti
cipated by ihc most experienced business men
and its announcement will, therefore, produce
no surprise nor increased alarm.
It is with unfeigned satisfaction, wo learn that
tho house ofßrowilA. Co. of Liverpool, remains
firm and unmoved amidst tho commercial storm
that is prostrating so many towering fabrics ;
and it also gives us pleasure to observe tiro high
satisfaction felt in London on the publication of
the official statements of the liabilities and assets
of tho three principal American houses who have
lately been compelled lo suspend.
Tile inunufae.uring districts in England, it will
be seen, are suffering excessively under the stag
nation of business.
ENGLAND.
London, Juno 7th.
It has been stated currently this afternoon that
an express lias reached this city from Liverpool,
announcing several failures. Wo apprehend
there is sonic truth in this rumour, but we do not
believe there is any reason lo apprehend that
confidence will he materially shaken, should the
reports prove true. The official statcoicnls
which have been published relative lo the liabili
ties and assets of the three principal American
houses, tho failures of which were announced last
week, arid showing that each of these have a con
siderable surplus after paying off claims, waking
too, a liberal allowance for bad debts, has given
much satisfaction in the city to-day.
The packets of the f Oth and 16th from New
York, are now duo, and are looked for with
much interest. It is not expected they will
■I ring any material improvement in the stale of
affairs in the United States. Uis indeed hardly
possible now, that a revival of trade will take
place for at least two or three months to
come.
The public securities have continued to im
prove to-day, although money is not easier, at
least for commercial purposes, than last week.
In American Banking bonds the operations
continue to be upon a limited scale. Those of
the U. Slates Bank have been quoted lo day at
924 to 93. Morris Canal Company bonds have
for some days borne a nominal price at 96 lo 98,
The U. States Bank shares are heavy at 22f
15*.
Mr Sergeant Talfourd brought in the bill to
i amend the law of copy right, on the 7th June.
It was lo he read 3d time on the 14lh. —Morn-

STATE OF TRADE.
Manchester.—The accounts from America
threw a damp over our market on Thursday.
The description of yarn most m demand was
sold at a remunerating price. In the goods mar
ket a reduction of price was submitted to in some
cases.
Rochdale Flannel Mahket.—Tho piece
market on Monday was fully as dull as any pre
vious one. There was a greater number of buy
ers than usual, hut they offered prices so greatly
reduced that they were only submitted to by a
comparatively small number of manufacturer!
Trade in die potteries is said to continue
exceedingly depressed.
Tire hay crop promised to be abundant.
Potatoes, it is reported, seem likely to turn
out remarkably well.
Commercial Distress in Birmingham
A meeting of merchants, manufacturers and I
others interested in the wcllfire of the working ;
classes of Birmingham, was held on Tuesday
week a! (he public office in that town, for the pur-
pose ol receiving a memorial signed by between
12 and 13000 men, to inquire into the cause of
the present distress, and to take such steps as
might be suggested for its recovery, John Mere
dith. Esq. presided. '
'The mielingwss addressed by several opera- •
lives and others; in a very able manner, when a
committee was apirointed. The Liverpool Chroni- j (
ele remarks that “many of the manufactories at j;
Birmingham have ceased work altogether, some [
arc not more than hall employed; and in all pro- li
Liability, in the cot iso ol another week, hundreds 1
will be thrown idle and destitute on the town. ”
The chief cause eftbis extreme depression is un- y
questionably, the American failures.” a
It Ls rumored that there will be a deficiency ,
Ibis year of nearly X 3.0 0,000 in the malt lax, t
partly owing to the state of last harvest. 1
Dae* nr u tjM uanr. it or Three Children dy
Thei r Mother.- —The Btalfordshire Advertiser
of June 3, gives a most shocking account of the ,
murder of her three children by a Mrs. Coley. ■,
The cause it appears washer husband being out -
of employment, and in pecuniary distress, though
not in want of food. The threeehildren murder
ed by Mrs. Colley, were a little girl 6 years ofage
a boy 4years old and an infant, all of whom bad
their throats cut. Two other hoys escaped and
alarmed the neighbors, wlto entered and found
the murdered children and the unhappy mother,
who had also cut her own throat, on the floor to
gether.
FRANCE.
The Paris papers state that the commercial
people of Paris are greatly alarmed at the turn
which the American affairs are taking.
The king made his entry into Paris on Sunday,
4lh of June, and the reception given him was
highly satisfactory.
In the Chamber of Paris on Mon-lay, sth, the
royal ordonnance appointing Baron Paaquier
Chancellor of Franco, was read shortly after
which the Grand Chancellor himself entered in
his robes, took the President’s chair, and deliver,
cd a short speech.
The bill for tire definitive .-jgulallon of the
budget passed by a majority of 83 lo 11. A pro
position for tho formation of a deputation to con
gratulate the king on the marriage of the Duke
of Orleans, was carried unanimously.
SPAIN.
“We have to-day.” says tho London Morning
Chronicle of the slh June, “received positive in
telligence from Alrnudevar, of the death of Gcn’l.
Irilrarrcn on tho 20th ult. from the wounds re
ceived on tho 24th, before Huesca. Espartero,
it is said, entered Tolosa this morning at ten
o’clock, after an obsinalc resistance from the Car
lists, of whom 300 were made prisoners. This
nows is not official. It is, however, probable.
Lerin has been captured with a garrison of 100
men and two pieces of artillery, of Garcia.”
Ship struck hv Lightning. A letter from
our correspondents, the Messrs. Topliff, of Boston,
dated Saturday afternoon says:—“The ship Dal
matia, Windsor, for Mobile, lying at tho wharf
at the north part of tho city, was struck by light
ning this afternoon and wo are informed has
hauled off into the stream to ho scuttled.
Her carg consists of 800 bundles ol' hay, 500
casks of lime; 290 boxes of herrings, and 500
bags of oats. She cleared this morning, and wa»
ready for sea.”—-V. Y, . Coin, dldv.

Wall Street — One O'clock. —There is but
little change in (he prices of stocks since Saturday.
Tho sales were most generally made at a small

a falling off about percent. Among the sales
we notice Merchants bank at 102 and Butchers

MONEY MARKET—CITY NEWS.
Sundayjnight.—The Bank of the United States,
according to our New Orleans correspondent is
judiciously at work in that city. The purchases
of cotton have, we presume are made with U. S.
Bank notes at 13 per cent, premium. By this
operation the bank will not only be in funds to
meet its Bonds in Europe, but by taking advan
tage of the corning riscof cotton, make a profit all
around. It is not surprising that a bank thus judi
ciously managed, not only commands great confi
dence the world over, hut is advancing every day
in the value of its stock at home, in spite of the
calumnies of the Government and the foul mouth
ed abuse of its libclcrs.
Wo believe that we may now safely say, that
ti'.-cre is a fair promise of a better state of things
in JNew York. There is a groat deal of money
lying idle, which capitalists do not invest because
they date not hut which as confidence increases,
they will soon put into action. Tho fall in the
price ofspeci.e is a good indication of lire state of
our Foreign Exchanges. The promDe of bounti
ful crops in all the Slates, cheers every body. In
deed the crops of sonte tho South Western States
have already Come in. From the State of Missis
sippi, there is art immense debt duo to this city.
Their Creditors here, therefore will read with plea
sure, that some of the planters in Holmes county
had, on Juno 27th gathered fine crops of wheat,
and were preparing it for market. Mississippi
Will this year raise her own corn and wheat, and
make a large portion of the provisions for which
si ie has hitherto been dependant upon other States
Her cotton crop will not fall short of 375,000
bales, this at ten cents per pound will amount to
fifteen millions of dollars which will grcally over
pay her foreign debt, and go a long way towards
paying the debt owing by tho United Stales to
England. In such a country as ours, so young,
so lull of life, with a soil so abundant, no action
of the Government can keep us down long. Wo
will rise in spite ot it—but if it will aid us, in a
year, we will be on our triumphant march again.
Tho news from Upper Canada shows us what
a piece of lolly Sir Frances Head was guilty of
in playing the part of tho Bank oflho Metropolis
in Toronto. The banks obliged (o yield at lasi,
are now denounced by lire merchants, who
ought to be their best friends. In tho meantime
these banks have been pouring out their specie
for the benefit of New York.
I.'rt'ouT ation of Wheat —JVew York.— From
a table which we find in the New York Farmer
it appears that the whole amount of wheat im
ported into the city of New York.
