Ilis worthy mend from Connecticut Itstl s"ul that lliwujfU he bad voted uniformly against :t, yet that it ‘ might have done tome goad in caving tho banka,” Tina confession of his friend was, perhaps, a harmless offering to Exccu’ivo power; but a* bo did not approve of such gratuitous benevolence at tlio cost of congiatciicy, in a matter of such importance to the country, be must say to bis friend that he entirely disagreed vvilli him, and must call upon himforeorne of the beneficial effects ol thi* wiao end salutary measure. The Senator 1 himself told us in Ibo next breath that the do posiic banks, and-a!) other banks, arc broken, and I list tin* public money, both specie and! paper, have become unavailable in I heir vaults. The patient is dead, and yet ti.c treatment ib landed. If a quack in defiance 61 ail icmon etr.incc*, continues hie iruatmeni, and the pa tient dies, we may conjecture lb at lie would I have dune no heller wit bad tfereni lin'inonl, or without trealineiil; but hue hit could hare dime worse, it is somewhat difficult to con-. reive. ’l'his measure, flien,Condemned by the by the Cabinet, condemn cd by the people, alter In I trial, condemned by iho whole legislative Authority, nud con demned by the strong evidences of tlio in; .- 1 chief it baa produced, is still persevered in by the Executive, lauded for its ‘salivary effects,’! end was referred to by one Senator (looking j at Mr Benton) ns “the ever glorious specie circular." [Mr. Benton. “Yes, the cvcrglo-i nous specie circular.”] MrK, with great animation. Ah, yev, u ;« all glory and no good. Where arc the evidences of your glo- 1 ry 1 In there any thing glorious in the present 1 unhappy condition ol the country 7 Your I Government insolvent and disgraced. Our; people branded by foreigners as a nation ol; fraudulent bankrupts and swindlers; your merchants bankrupt; your inaiuifa'Jturers lan- 1 guiaiimg idleness and distress; your planters; ruined, and two.thirds of ibo Itihtring popu- i l<ilion of the IJniid States threatened with ac- ; tual starvation. Tlieee are the evidences 01, tlio “ salutary" effect sos the measures wo are called on to glorify. Why, sir, the Senator | must have forgoiton that glory lias deprecia ted in the market. i.tko piper currency, it has been redundant, and is now almost an much below par, as rug money ; very nmcb I forthusime reason, 100. On pxatnilialion, j ive find that neither baa bad a very solid ba-. sis to rest upon. tin much (said Mr, King) for the glory of tins order. I now propone to tako a more dispassionate, and better reasoned view of it as a financial measure. The plain objection to tins circular a* a fi nancial measure is, that it did violence to all; tho luv* of trade And commorco by tin fur- j ciblc interference «f the. Government. The i easing operations of exchanges, m useful anil necessary in adjusting ascertained balances between dilferutil sections ol tlio country, were suddenly and violently intonuptml. Tlio nselul admoiiit’oii of sa unfavorable balance, ax indicated by the exchanges, wsa not only disregarded, hut that balance forcibly increa sed. The dosltuitivo tendency of such inter lerenco by Govuriunent m the commerce of the country lias been acknowledged by tbu Monitor from North Carolina (Mr iS'irange) though 1 tliouglit Ibe principle might have been better applied by film. Such measures produce the sunn effects in tlio nuiiio way, whenever and wherever applied in a hue commercial country ; always taking the Peo ple by surprise, and breaking up the establish ed Order of things. Tho bus.tiers of (lie coun try i. as elfecftully deranged and disorganized by such violence »« is the human system by the destruction oftbo heart. Commerce has its laws. The People study tllo T' , °"- lb y- ' ry great extent, an J unite their calculations nml regulate their business accordingly. They always must greatly sutler when forci bly deprived of these advantages; mid par ticularly if tho force bo applied to a paper or mixed currency (though it lias some advanta ges) are very groat. 1 do not know, in in my respects, that they arc over estimated by the 1 Senator from Missouri. 1 hope bo, however, nllor the most fatal experience to the eoun try, will come to the conclusion that the evils ! of the system can only be readied by a lejiu- It'i vo authority Pint rin reach the system it- j self. It is acknowledged wo have no power | over the system, and yet, by ties Executive j latbingaud fruiting, and chastising, and tor turing, wc keep t u country am) the currency ; in a perpetual (ever and fluctuation, giving u j all the evils of tlio system, without its advuti-' lager. Mir, you might ne well undertake to j make a full grown intellectual man, with trow el ami mortar, and regulate the circulation of] liia blood with a tinker's tools, us to undertake; to make a tin form standard of value of a pa- 1 per nr mixed currency, and regulate Us fun,- | t inns, as money, by the continual tlnl.tring. ami tlio successive and sudden opplic tliuu of] force by the iron band of Government. Sir, yon can’t do it ; you have neither llio materi als uortbc laws for such a cnntumtnaUonl You may do infinite mischief, but you wil never dn any good. You may break up busi ness, ami rum the in lustrines classes, but you .willdo no gaod to any class, except such as know bow to profit by ciintiison, and speculate on tho misfortunes of their fellow men. fv Hu said that at the very time this, strange order was issued, exchange was already ml-' fi nontly high against the Mouilme.t ami; West,To have piadsllie transmission of spe cie a profitable operation. Tins was seen by the Senate when they with such unanimity refused to take the rctpousibdity ol the mea sure. The effect, as sere > cn, was first to raise tlio exchanges, and then break tire imp. 1 Why, sir, said bu, if tlio whole currency oh tbe country bad been specie, any measure ! opposing liia force of Government t > the laws of trade, the practical effect of which sli end be to require tbe actual transmission of specie j against the rate of exchange, w mid so hr doo- ' , ife ihq exchanges, upon a matbomatieaJ prill- j ciple, by requiring two transits of specie in -1 stead of one. Mo true is the operation ol this j principle, that even an arbitrary requisition 1 that tbe paper money alone of tho Atlantic! seaboard should bo tece.ved for public lands ! would have produced a heavy effect upon tbe exchanger, because in the exchanges it would \ have added to the wrong side of the account.! But, sir, when wo come to the actual opera- 1 tion in question; when wo come not only to take money from a point where it is due, ami scud it to a point from which it is owing—to l take it from the creditor and send n to llie debtor, bit perform ibis rough and anti-coin- j inerci il operation by taking an ay (In very ho rns upon which flce-sixlhs of t-he currency re;.'*,] you produce effects that can never be arith metically calculated, and of which no ade- j q rite conception eua be formed, except by Witnessing the actual bum ;di-; aioiy produced by the measure on the com-i morels I seaboard, and those sections upon j which the measure was intended lo operate.

Was the debtor aided whilst tbe cured ; itor was oppressed! Not at all, sir. Whiis l this specie was on the voyage of its exile, 1 and alter it readied the depo»ilebjnksr*o far as llio commercial and planting Mi'.oreits WCr.. concerned, it might cs well have lx mi buried ; iu the middle ol the oa;;b, or carried back to ! tho mines of Mexico.

The lucustno, -Mr. K, said, seemed to have been attended with unmitigated mischief, liven tbe sales nf public lands bad most pro bable been meres <ed by it before the suspen s.on of specie pay.-ieois. Tlioro was no oilier way of accounting 1 Jor tlio heavy amount ol llio-c mles, after tb s mania lor speculation bad already begun 1" tlJclmo. Money be came dear and dilliruU to Jirocure, and all llio public binds in ni'irK*?t very much culled and selected. The duptuile hanks in tho new States bad been devoted it]most exclusi vely to the use ofupeculalion.', i'« before sta ted, and, moreover, a great nuLihur wore in duced to go into the business, alter the adop tion of the order, who ctherwiso would not bavo thought of it. Ours, be ami, is an cn torprising, speculative I‘ooph't and whenever ,«« W» ra rr nr r [ ’{ln > y iegiu i übiiikwb'u can be made of it in a financial poi.°! view. Accordingly, (lie impresaiun was vot_, ’ gener al that [tins ino.ißiiro would greatly ,'lmvk purcliawc-, and that llio monopoly of th-'' o who would raise specie for the purpose woulu be much more valuable than if no step bad boon taken to destroy competition. Ho mud | lie know of several himself, who collected llieir capital, turned it into specie, and went | into ibe business, who, but for tlio order, would [ not have thought ol it. For those reasons, j mi intelligent gentleman Horn tho west had | given it to him ns tits opinion that the sales j had been in i •!, increased by the operation of ibo order-mid bo, (Mr. K.) believed it. It them, it were so desirable lo cheek the sales | ot the public lands, the object bed failed: even ! the President acknowledges, in the message, ] that the effect uflbc order in that particular j bad boon over estimated. I tut this inis not I the ntject nj the order. The object of the or- I dc' was to prop up a few tottering deposits I hanks, against Hr condoned but salutary op • cration oj the distribution law, and a heavy ; exchange. The President or Ins advisers, ■ e.iw that some of the deposit? banks in the West or Southwest bad expanded enormous-, ly, and were in a precarious cotnlilioit, and | exchange already suliioicully high lo endan ger demands on them lor specie ; and be leaved that, when asked also tor a portion ol the public money, they would explode, and give a triumph lo his enemies,by the failure ot, hi* favorite experiment. Ho determined lo bus- 1 i tamtlieni at every hazard, utul without a eulll-' eieiil/egird to the interests olTltc People. Did llio succeed iu tli-s object.' No. On llio | contrary, in this last gran i coup d'etat, or ra ; tlier, roup d'argenl, to sustain bis experiment, ! by succouring a few loitering pet banks, ho j broke the whole ; ye*, sir, broke fta ivtioie ; for, although 1 do not intend to attribute to j this order in no importance than H deserves ; m bringing Ibccnnuhv into us present coudi i lion, yet 1 have not tiitt remotest conceplimi 1 ilia* wo should have had a general mispensiou : I of specie payments, and u national bankruptcy ; but lor the adaption of this order, lie rani, i he b.’J.ci \t no could prove tins to ibe satisfac tion of all who wouhl liston to the facts, mid impartially uliiihuto lo liuman pas ian tu : iittlural agency in stimulating human action. Wbat then would probably have been the condition of the country, it ibis measure bad never been adopted 1 It was, before the adop-; | lion ot tho order, in a diseased, bloated and 1 | feverish condition, entirely at the mercy ol | our foreign creditors.

Cre d.ts T.» \\ estern mid Southwestern banks, and I > m ltvnluals, which had been greatly extended | by Northern and Eastern banks,’ had been I checked, and balances were expected to aid |in adjusting ihe foreign debt. Tin debt, ev j cry inteibgiuit merchant saw, must now press I upon us lo a very considerable ox'ent. The i foreign exchange would have press -d upon llio seabord ; the seaboard would have press- ‘ e l upon llieir Western, Southern and South western do'.t.irs. .Much of lb*l spee eot the banks of this section would have gone back I to the seaboard, from which it bad been taken and gouo to Europe, from which it bid been first borrowed.

The first election of Gov ernor by the [>eople was in 1825, when in the memorable contest between Troup & Clark, the C former was elected by a majority of 083 votes, at 1 which time there were 40,000 voles polled. In I 1837 John Forsyth was elected without any ref;- j ularly organized opposition, two candidates of • the opposite party to Mr. T. having successively ( j died after their nomination and before lire cl.ac- I I tion. These wore Matthew Talbot, and Col. ( Duncan, G. Campbell. In 1829 Mr. Gilmer | was elected over ? >j. Crawford, both belonging I j ito the Troup party, the Clark men generally ce.st- I iingtheir votes in favor of Mr Gilmer. 1831 j Wilson Lumpkin, the candidate of the Clark ( ! parly succeeded over Mr. Gilmer by 1500 votes, i | and in 1833 the same gentleman V/aa again elec ted over Mrij. Crawford by ’2.100 voles. In 1834 1 old party lines were pretty much broken down, a number of the T roup partyjoining with the mass of ■ the Clark parly formed what has since been known as the Union parly, and sustained the administration of Gen. Jackson, while a smaller number of Clark men joined with tho mass of the Troup party and formed what has since been termed the Slate Rights party, which opposed that administration. The first struggle under thia now organization of parlies resulted in the success of the Union Congressional Ticket by 5000 majority, and a majority of about 80 in the Legislature. In 1830, Guv. Schley the canihv, date of tho Union parly, beat Judge Dougherty 8500 voles, and the parly had a majority of about 60 in the Lcgisla'ure. In 1838, the Union tick et succeeded with one exception lor Congress, by an average majority of about 1000, and a majori ty of 40 in the Legislature. This year the State Rights candidate for Governor is elected by about 750 majority, and the UnitJn patty has a majori ty of 30 in the Legislature. Such is a brief and general outline of tho his tory of parties in Georgia, so far as results are concerned, lor 12 years. The’regulls of the last two elections, 1830 and 1837, were to some ex tent inlluonced by questions connected with the Presidential election and the administration of Mr. Van Huron.

It is said that she was built by contract, under direction of Mr. Allaire, olNcw York, by Brown it Bell, of that city, first rate builders, and p nouoced byjudges hi that city, too slibiit td «o to ska; that her Engine was an old one, which tho owner having no use for, detormineu'tb build a boat iu which it could he placed, and turned to profit—that her Engineer was the sane indivi in.'Al., WHO, 14V UIS CAIIII-jtdSNKSS, CAUSED the uttsTiiucriotr ok iiF*>w the William Gm -110 NS, will.*'JU. ilOllEtl EXPLODE!!

The remark is sometimes tUade, that if parties will hazard their lives in badly constructed or un ' safe vessels impelled by steam th ay have their own i negligence to answer for any tint6ward results that may occur, tut this is a /also view of the subject. Many who take passage in steam ves sels may never have an opportunity of gaining I that knowledge which would be a p rotoclion to them if acquired. Reports unfavourable to the i character of a sloani vessel may ho in eh culatiun; | but if she happens to perform one or two t.'ips, in calm weather, with speed and safety, a I’utn makes its appearance on her arrival in part, sign ed by hei passengers, applauding her performance, j 1 recommending boras «|fiuo staunch sea boat, and all doubts arc dispelled. In this way are hun- ' Jreds deluded to their destruction. Wo repeat it, that the people should be aroused to action on ‘ tins subject, it their natural protectors against the insensate cupidity of parlies thus engaged in a * disgraceful career of [truth, the Legislature of the country will not act The city of New York owes it to her own character to make this inqui ry as sitting as possible, and to devise some regu lations by which tho headlong proclivity to gain ‘ in her citizens may be under some check'from the law, if they arc insensible to tho common fee- 1 | lings of humanity. From the Louisiana Advertiser Oct. 17. ' | Late rao.vt Mexico.—Yesterday,by tho arrival lof the schooner Lodi, from Malamoras, we learn- ; j ed that there are nearly 3,000 troops assembled j there under Gen. Filosola,. represented as being ' in a most .wretched condition, entirety unprovi- 1 | ded with rations, clothing, dee.; many of them ! I nearly in a slate of nudity. Tocre were nu me- 1 tous desertions daily. The intended object of this force is not known, it being kept in tire greatest . i secrecy; but they are said to have a most decided aversion to being led agiinst Texas. Some of i ! them go so tar as to openly state that tbey could not he prevailed upon to march against her a; any price. file schooner Bonita had arrived at the bar of Malamoras, from this port, previous to thosailinJS ; of the L , bat could not get over, there being not ; : sulli lent depth of water.

They ] :ontain London dates of the evening of lire XSlli. The dissolution of the Chamber of [Deputies was to take place on tho Ist of October. The preparations for the expedition against Constantins were going rapidly forward. A number. of suspect’:.! individuals had been arrested at Romo. Tho precise cause of tho arrest was ’“.ol known to the public. The cholera was s, ! hating, Tho Carlist chief, Cabrera, had reappeared at Vne head us a body of troops, in the vicinity of Madrid. Paris, Sept. 16. —Five percents, I08f30c; threes, 79f60e. Loxnox, Sept 15.—4 o’clock, P. M. consols for account left off at 92j. This is settling day for accounts. * Paris, Sept. 17.—The steamboat Tartarus, 12 days Lorn Tunis, brings intelligence that the two French squadrons under Lalande and Gallo* is, were together in that port, except the Suffrcin, which had returned to Toulin, to aid in tho transportation of troops. The Levant journals announce that the Turkish squadron left the Isles of tho Archipelago for Tripoli on the 19th of Aug. This squadron had actually landed some troops at Tripoli, and was supposed to have re turned to Constantinople. SPAIN —Telegraphic Despatch. Bazoxxe, Sept. 14th.—Seven o’clock, P.jM. —lriartc and Elibara united their forces on the 18th, at Puente do la Reyna, for the purpose of making an attack. We learn that the Carlists who retired at To losa after the occupation of Ardaoin by O’Donuoll, had received reinforcements, and meditated an attack upon that town. Gen. O’Donnell, in the meantime, was determined to maintain his posi tion, and to this end was urging forward the. .works of defence. Madrid, Sept. 9.—The Perfect of Madrid has discovered a Carlist conspiracy, to which the last movements of Cabrera have given some impor tance. Tho design of the conspirators was to set fire to the powder of Barbara, and profiting by the confusion caused by the explosion, liberate three hundred rebels who are detained in the prison of Suldcro, near the magazine of Santa Barbara. At tlio date of the lust accounts, Don Carlos, followed closely by Oraa, was in the Sietra d’ Albarracino, while the faction of Cabrera had in terposed itself between Madrid and the army of Bspartero, which occupied tire central point be tween Don Curios and tho Arragoncse band. It is said that General Esparlero has arrived in the neighborhood of Cuenca, so that ho covers tho capital. If tho 5000 men who have gone off to Navarro; wore here to reinforce the army, they could,at the critical moment, decide tho victory. Tho re-ap. pearance of the Carlists in the neighborhood of the capital, has caused the authorities to redouble their energies and watchfulness. No persort is allowed to leave Madrid, and the authorities re fuse to give passports. Several arrests have taken (dace, but the princi pal instigator of tho plot, known in France by his connexion with lire attempts of the emigrants in 1830 has made his escape from the millitaiy prison in which ho was confined, and has gone to join Don Carlos. u. s. ship Independence —emperor OF RUSSIA. Cap! Richardssn, of brig Leonidas, from Cronsladt, arrived at Boston, informs tho Messrs. Topliff * from whom we havo this intelligence,) that tho U. S. frigate Independence sailed from Cronsladt on thb 13th of August. Being all ready for soa and lire wind light, the Emperor directed a boat, with an officer and boat’s crew, to bo si*-I £ronu>v«rjr UuMinfi of \rni in tflC Harbor, assist in towing lire frigate out; and Cap tain Richardson says that she went out of the harbor to in lino stylo, with a string of boats nearly half a mile long in advance. The Emperor’s attention to tho frigate and her officers were unremitlcd, to the last moment of her stay atJOronstadt; and it was remarked that no ship of war, ol any nation, had even before been known to receive such manifestations of good will in a Russian harbor.

Amelia Jackson, ol New York, aged 4 months and 7 days. Died, on the 17th inst., on the Sand Hills, at , the residence of her daughter, Mr*. Millcdgc, after a protracted illness, Mrs. Ann Leaven worth, aged 77 years. She was the only child of Joseph Gusham, a native of Virginia, who emigrated to Burke comily, this State, when she was only four years old. Duiing the revolution ary war, sho married Thomas Lamar, Esq., of S. C., and was ever after a resident of that Slate, in the vicinity of Augusta, fur the last eight years of;her life she was an acceptable member of the Baptist Church, and until her death walked worthy of her profession. Mrs. Leavenworth’s mind was fur above medriocrity—il was endowed with a degree of strength and energy which did not fail, though its tenement, the body, had be come exhausted by disease and the infirmities of old Jage. But these peculiar traits of character which rendered her the object of love, affection and respect, to ail who knew her, need not ho repealed, because to strangers it wduld appear a fulsome strain of panygeric, while on the minds of her friends it could not engrave more deeply than is already engraved, tho memory of iter worth.
