The few remarks of the last Columbus En quirer, which accompanied an extracted article from the Millcdgcville Times, in reference to rhe next Governor’s election, are entirely judi cious, mid characterized by a considerate fore sight. It may he, nnd most probably is, too early to bring a candidate lor the Executive chair before the public at present. We are no advocates for, or promoters of the incessant fer mentation of the public mind, by the premature agitation of a long anticipated canvass. Even the labniiniis forger at the furnace occasionally withdraws his brand and immerses it in the slack trough t give it hotter temper and duc tility. Men’s minds certainly require an equal relaxation, and would be equally benefitted by a similar process. Yet the slake is of too high value, in the present instance, to incur the risk of any detriment to the cause of State Rights, or the most important interest of thee republic, by paying too scrupulous a respect to the con sideration just hinted at. We therefore very readily concur in the suggestion made by the Milledgeville Tunes, “ that the State Right* Associations in the various counties throughout the State, at some suitable time, nppoint dele gates to meet in convention at Milledgeville, sometime in November next, for the purpose ol making a nomination of some proper person to be supported by the party as a candidate for Governor.” The policy, propriety and justice of such a procedure is certainly plainly appa rent. It is the only one, it strikes us, which can ensure the desirable harmony, and admit of’tlie previous, general and rightful participa tion of the advocates of Stats llislit. tliroMgh out the Suita, in the designation of such a citi izen as they would afterwards be willing to spend their anergies to elect, and willing to honor with their freest suft'rages. Flattering as are present appearances, and steady as the march of true principles appears to be, the ad vantage ol unanimity and general concert, is in no case to he overlooked. Natural confidence in a sound cause, though it sometimes leads to supineuess and negligence, should arouse upon such broad and stable grounds as we believe the Suite Rights party occupy, to manlier ef forts and more vigilant exertion. It is hoped that the citizens of Upson will not disregard the benefit of this suggestion ; and that in common with other patriotic counties, they will he duly represent.id at the Milledgeville meeting in November. SOMETHING NEW IN GEORGIA AGRI CULTURE. Swift, whose fine genius, did not prerent hi.n from carefully considering the commonest objects of utility, asserts that he whose careful cultivation, and judicious improvement, makes two spears of grass grow, where only one grew before, deserves more praise than all the heroes upon record. This may seem extravagant en thusiasm hut certainly the introduction of new products, which suit the climate and promise to increase the mass of subsistnnee, deserves the notice of every one. Simeon Rogers, Esq. of this neighborhood, a judicious and attentive cul tivator, sowed in the corner of his garden, this season, about two hundred grains of a peculiar wheat, known in Ireland, and much appreciated there, by the name of Bhnr or liar. Only twelve came up. The heads are about six inches long, hu.l bearded like barley : are flat in form, hav ing only two rows of grain, putting fortii pre cisely opposite each other, on each side of the stem. The greatest objection to it appeared to lie it’s not growing taller; but this may have proceeded from it’s having been sown, probably four weeks later than wheat generally is here. Those twelve stalks produced about a pint: the grains nearly double the size of the big white wheat. lie also drilled, about the same num ber of grains of the clear or skinless oats, which as well as the wheat above described, he had received from the elder Mr. Yonge of Macon Every one of these sprouted and grew luxuriantly: headed null ripened about as early as the com inon spring eats. The straw and chaff are much euftcr than our oats, and probably will be better provender for stock. These two hundred grains yielded some half dozen bundles, and appeared to be almost destitute ofgrain, but produced five pints of clean grain; more weighty than the same measure of wheator common oats. These facts may be confided in as given by Mr. Ro gers ; who gives it as his opinion that the oats especially will prove of great value to the agri cultural interest of any climate that suits them ; ns he is fully of the belief that they will make good flour, and will not be subject to the many disasters that curtail or destroy wheat crops. ’Tis his intention to give them a fair trial next year, and he calculates, with luck,upon making from the above product of two hundied grains, several bushels for the ensuing year. In refer ence to the Irish wheat or Bar, Mr. It. states that an intelligent Irishman, with whom he con versed, assured him that it was in Ireland sec ond in importance to the Potatoe, that great ful crum of Irish subsistence. The only late news of interest from England is an account of the change in the British min istry. Mr. Stanley, Sir Jas. Graham, the duke of Richmond, and the Earl of Ripon had re signed. The new Cabinet consisted of Mr. Sprins Rice, Colonies; Lord Auckland, admir alty ; Lord Carlisle, Privy seal; Mr. Ellice his present offiee. Out of the Cabinet Mr. P. Thompson, President of the hoard of Trade; Lord Mulgrove, Post Office; Mr. Francis Bar ing, Secretary of the Treasury; Mr. M. O’Fer rnll, Lord oftlie Treasury. Also Mr. W. Ord, in the room of George Pouson who goes to the seat in the customs vacated by the death of Mr. Roe. It is not supposed that the policy of the government will be materially affected by it. The French Chambers have been dissolved. Thus the spirit of change has been busy at Lon don as well as Washington of late. In Portu gal it appears that Migiial and Carlos, have been compelled to capitulate, and surrender their authority to Christina Queen ofSpain. Glover, charged with the murder of Wig gens escaped from the Jail of Montgomery on the night of the 4th inst. The Sheriff of tile County has offered 500 dollars for his appre hension. Tlie Riots in New York had been alarmingly renewed, mid extended to Newark. THE PROSPECTS. The State Rights’ Sentinel mentions the re ceipt in a single letter of 17 new subscribers. This looks well, not only for that useful paper, but it argurs favorable us to the progiess in that quarter, of the cause it advocates; for subscrip tion lists are often very good indccia of such things. We in the centre see good prospects in most directions. Our friends are full of con fidence, and not the least pleasant part of their communications, is that which directs iis to pul down their names.—A single letter just received encloses 32 new subscribers to the Journal.— “ Truth is mighty and will prevail,” says of one our correspondents. This is an old and good and true sentiment, which should ever be kept in miml ; hut faith is not enough of itself. Iti political struggles we are saved not so often by faith as liy the want of it. While therefore we feel justified in telling our friends every where to be of good cheer, we exhort them to be up and doing. With proper vigor ail will be safe. The homebred principles of State Rights have with stood too many assaults to he iruddan down at this late day. Indeed they are now moving on ward with a sweeping momentum that requires hut a reasonable unity of notion to put down Consolidation-Jackson-Fcderal-Unionism, and plant the Whig standard where it stood in the ’76 and ‘99, and bring Georgia hack again to the memorable eigliteeii-iwenty-five. — Geo. Jour. Augusta, lOtli July, 1834. To the Editor of the Constitutionalist: Dear Sir —ln your paper of last Tuesday, I have read over the signature of “ State Rights and Union,” a communication intended, I pre sume, as a criticism of the Address of Messrs. Chandlerand Louche, delivered before the State Rights Association of Wilkes County. To one statement alone 1 beg to call the attention of its author a moment. He has aimed his shaft di rectly at those gentlemen, or, more properly, at the party to which they are attached. The mer iis of his communication will therefore be sub mitted, by me, to the action of those abler pens, more immediately concerned. Having embra ced the opportunity, however, to cast a stone at me, l feel a liberty, if possible, toshow him how wide was the shot, and likewise the place where his tmssil rests. Here follows the sentence in which I feel concerned: “ Mr. Fouche is an entire state so vereignty man, if I understand him—l say if I understand him, because he is not quite as clear ns was Mr. Cooper, (of Georgia,) when he in Ins resolutions, used the words, ‘states respec tively,’ in a connexion not found in either the Virginia Resolutions or Report .” The matter here excepted to !>y me, involves a mere matter of fact inquiry, provided we read and understand the English langunge alike. It is, that I “ used the words ‘states respectively,’ in a connexion not found in either the Virginia Resolutions or Report.” I think I certainly did not, and in a few words refuringto the “ Report” itself, pro posed to shew the author of “State Rights and Union,” that he is in error. Dy the resolution referred to, the words “states respectively” wen used in connexion with absolute or entire sover eignty. Now, sir, these states, as individun ‘.ommuiiities of people; —in their respective capa city of stales or people —by the “ Report” o 1799, is used indirect and immediate connexioi with absolute or “ entire sovereignty” He will admit the “absolute” and “entire import the same thing. And as a qua'ificatio of “sovereignty,” either means the whole— —something unqualified and unlimited. If In disputes me here, I decline further contest, and leave philologists to determine between iis. It lie agree, then I say I am right in the main point. In Combatting the argument founded on the supposed existenc of an A meric >n common law, Mr. Madison found it indispensable to point out the fundamental distinctive dillerence, lie tween the “ British government” and the Ame rican constitutions.” He declares it to be this: “ In the British government, the danger of en croachments on the rights of the people, is un derstood to be confined to the executive magis trate. The representatives of the people in the legislature, are not only exempt them selves from distrust, but are considered as suffi cient guardians of the rights of their constituents against the danger from the executive. Hence it is a principle, that the Parliament is unlim ited in its power; or, ill their own language, is omnipotent.” “In the United States the case isaltogether different. Thepeople not the gove rnment posseses the absolute sovereignty.” Now here you find an immediate “ connexion'” m the “ Report” between “ absolute sovereignty ” and the people , as contradistinguished from their government —And if the term ‘• people” here used m this “connexion,” be intended to im port that true and genuine meaning of the term “ states which in another part of the “Report” is given to it, then I am right anti my accuser wrong. What, sir, is that true and genuine ac ceptation of the word “ states,” as defined by the “ Report ”? You find it in these words : “ It means the people composing those political societies, in their highest sovereign capacity.” Therefore, sir, this term “people,” expressly used in “ connexion ” with absolute sovereignty, is declared (laying aside tiamcs) by I • “ Re port,” to be identical mIU the term “states,” which I am charged with using in a “ connex ion” not found in the “ Report.” I hope, sir, since it is intimated, l was “ quite clear,” it will not be pretended that, in the resolutions refer red to, the term “ states” was used in any, liul the true and genuine meaning—ls so, then I used it to import the “ people of the respective political societies,” therefore, I have used it in a connexion “found” in the “Report.” But that the states are usd in this connexion, and “ respectively” too, is undeniable true, for three reasons. First, the term “people,” which so expressly used, lias reference to the people of each state, for it is every where implied in ths Report, that no other distinct individual politi cal society exists or is known, whilst each oes exist and remain in their “ highest sovereign ca pacity.” Secondly, the “ people ” who are thus said to be absolutely sovereign, can mean no other than the slates respectively, for if it mean an aggregate people of the union, or the govern ment, then this aggregate people or the govern ment, possess “absolute sovereignty"; would u urp all ami leave not even a particle for the people of the respective states—which is not admitted by any “Ft ile Rights nnd Union” man. Lastly, the people s.udto possess “absolute so vereignty,” are the people whose “ constitutions” Mr. Madison was distinguishing from the Brit ish government. Now if llterc be such a com munity as the aggregate people of all the stntes, it is plain there is but one such; and it is equal ly true that it lias but one “constitution ” —hence the plurality of “ constitutions” expressed in the Report, indicates a like plaralily of political communities, or states, or people, for whom they were made respectively, each of whom posses ses “ absolute sovereignty.” This, sir, is the “ connexion ” of the words “respective states,” said by the writer of “ State Rights ar.tl Union,” not to be found in that report. I trust he per ceives his error, can do justice, and appreciate the sentiment contained in the resolution offer ed in the last legislature. It may be that he will urge the inconsistency of this “ connexion” n the Report, with the idea of a “ residuary sovereignty.” In this exists no difficulty when he considers, what is true, that the author of those documents, and most others who have used the term, sometimes used it as convertible, of the powers of sovereignty, as if he would have said residuary powers of sover eignty. This is evident, otherwise he never would have qualified it by the term “ absolute,” knowing as he does, or must have done, that it needs not that qualification, to make it in its true signification, all, without it, that it could become with it. But he may say tins is a too refined distinc tion between the powers and sovereignty itself, and ask who can canceive it ? I answer, every man who can perceive a difference between the origin, the effects of power, and the agent by which it is immediately exerted; any man, who can conceive a difference betewesn a sovereign government overruling and enslaving the people and a free people exercising their sovereign au thority, by a dependent, limited governmental agency. Flense insert this in your next, and oblige your obedient servant, &c. MARK A. COOPER. ABOLITION RIOTS, tremendous riot was commenced in ‘New York on the night of the 9th, between the white people on the one side, and the blacks and their abolition friends on the other. The scene of tumult and violence, says the Com. Advertiser, was first at Chatham street Chapel, then at the Bowery Theatre, then at Arthur Tappan’s and then they went to Lewis Tnppan’s, broke into the house and threw the furniture into the street and burned it. These are first fruits of the blessed project of immediate emancipation so strenuously urged onward by the fanntics of N. York, the Tappans, Doct. Cox, Ludlow, Lea vitt, and the rest. On the night of the lUth, as wo understand by the Commercial, after anoth :r demonstration at Lewis Tappan’s, the mob oroeeeded to Doct. Cox’s Church, mid thence o his residence, which they stove in, and injur d considerably. The pavement was tome up, ml the populace armed with a stone in each hand; the fences were torn down and converted into clubs; the sticcts were barricaded with carts drawn across to impede the expected horse detachments, and other indications made of a ep and desperate intention. Formidablr however as these preparations were, the attack on Docl. (’ox’s house was not renewed, but tin rioters returned to lusChurch and recommenced hostilities, and it was not till a very late hour that the tumult ceased. A Postcript adds, appearances indicate a re newal oftlie disturbances, and the Editors else where say they perceive with regret “the whirl wind that the fanatics have raised will be diffi cult to allay.” P. >S. Since wrighting the above, we learn by n private leiter from New York, oftlie 12th, that the disturbances had not ceased on the 11th, on which night much property of the fanatics wes destroyed in spite oftlie militiary, of which about 2000 were out on duty. Among the fur niture of Lewis Tappan was a full length like nsss of Washington, which the mob to their credit would not burn, but saved. Among some other particulars, mentioned by the writer, he says, “A white woman who had a black man for a husband, was stripped naked and carried to a pump and pumped j while in some places they have caught the negroes and white waslted and floured them.” ThisDoct. Cox, is the same preacher we have mentioned as teaching that our Savior was a man of color. The writer further observes, that “ Doct. Cox, Tappan & Cos. have encouraged the negroes to marry the whites, and have pub lickly expressed their willingness to give their daughters to a negro in marriage, and many other absurdities. But they found that the peo ple are not quite corrupt enough for that. And I am very glad to see the most respectable, and in truth nearly all the New York citizens indig nant at the conduct of these deluded fnuntics. I have given some few of the particulars of the excitement here, as I am aware that the princi ples with which these scoundrels, such ns Cox, Tappan, Garrison & Cos. are endeavoring to in fect the public mind, nearly concern the South.” It appears, contrary to our first impression, that the fanatics have suffered most, if not ex clusively in their property. However just may be tins infliction, we join with all lovers of law and order in lamenting and coindcmnuig such excesses. They disgrace the city; they injure the cause they espouse; and they will create a reacting sympathy ol those who otherwise would find none. The whole tends to shew the deep workings of a spirit against which the South will finally, and perhaps before long find it necessary to stand prepared. STILL LATER. Accounts to Sunday morning the 11? h, say, that the worst anticipations have been realized. For five hours the city lias been the prey of an infuriated mob, or rather mobs, who have been carrying destruction before them in every direc tion. The Rev. Mr. Ludlow’s Church had been attneked. Besides the bouses nnd churches al ready mentioned, we notice that the African church opposite the Qnera house, Mr. Ludlow’s dwelling in Thomas street—'the African church and two other houses in Anthony street, and a small wooden building hi Orange street, were assailed and injured. The African Episcopal Church, the African school house, and several other houses in Orange street, were either very greatly injur and or totally destroyed. At half past 3 o’clock, the city was quiet. At Newark, the 4th Presbyterian church it is said hns been nltacted and injured. This was provoked by the pastor having introduced a col ored man into the pulpit with him, though war ned of its impropriety aud danger. Georgia Journal. Mr. Calhoun arrived at his residence near this place, several days ago, having come on by the stage, immediately after the adjournment. He is in good health. Mr. Davis was in Washington, when Mr. Calhoun left there, having been confined to his room by sickness, for a week, but being again well enough to be out. He was to leave Wash ington in a few days. We observe by the pa pers, that many of the members have been sick. Pendleton Mcs. July 16. To Correspondents. The communication upon temperance was received too late forinsertion this week.
