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 ;.

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.

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.

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.

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. W. M. M. PU UUIo'sBNTIMENT.

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.

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. —A".

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.

It is not expected they will ■I ring any material improvement in the stale of affairs in the United States.

(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.

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.
