I CoU!TTY Po1TtrcS.--icjamin F. Perry, Esq. of Greehville, well known as a gentleman of hight character and talents and one of the leading membersof our Le gislature has published in the Mountaineer an address to the people of Greenville whichb we have read with great satisfac tion. Mr. Perry wAs the main support of Gen. Thompson in that district-favoring him we believe almost solely on account of their bei. g both opposed to the Sub Treasury. lie is still opposed to that measure, but he is a1lso opposed to a N tional Bank, to a Tariff, to a System of Internal Improvements-in short to all the Federal and Consolidation principles which he believes would triumph in the election of Harrison. He therefore will support Van Buren, and is letter is an able and sufficient vindication of his deter mination s. to do. We are glad that Mr. Perry has relinquished his intention of leaving the Legislature where his ability, industry and high charactergave hiujust ly so distinguished a position. We know too that he will submit with a manful for titude to the victory we have gained over him in the matter of the Sub Trensury; so we shall not indulge even in a passing re gret that he has not yet been able to see through our spectacles. Mr. Perry's Let ter iill crush the last hope of getting up a Harrison party to sustain the extraorlina ry course of their Representative in Con gress.-Charleston Mercu'y. From the' Extra Globe. %4Tiit BucKFYs BLACKsstTn."--A mong the art of Federalism to catch the workingmen of the country,iwe lately saw distinouished honor paid to a vagabond by the unme of Bear, on whom they bestowed especial attenti-an. A meeting was held in this city for the purpose of enabling hint to hold forth; he was ushered to the mul titude by Gen. Walter Jones, and mem hers of Congress. Mr. Bell, Mr. Pope, and M1r. Briggs, felt themselves honored in playin! a secondary part to him, and the performance was heralded ire areal dis play throtgh the National lotelligencer. In like manner he was noticed by the Mayor and the Federal dignitaries an'l na bob's of Philadelphia; and by the same class of men in Baltimore. The Rich mond Enquirer informs us that M r. Bear is now in companionr-hip with the lion. Wim. C. Rives, preambulating ie west ern counties of Virginia. and addressing the people. When last heard from they were in Harrison county. Well, this fellow tuirns out to be one ot the greatest impostors and swindlers in ex ibtence! A true Federal Whig Mecian ic is he! All cheat-worse than humbuC -a cheat of the people, as he is used as an instrument to deceive and cheat the people! FACT AGANST THEORY. To iliose who incline to think, that a National Bank would or could have pre vented the evils with which the country is now afflicted, we commend the followin, brief ext ract.-Constitutionalist. From the National Jntelligcncer, 1th Srpt. ISIe "Stocks are down, down, w hile the rules of Exchange are advancin2 at a ra pid and unprecedented rate. The CUR. RENCY isin confusion-ruin and bank ruptcy meet us on evety ha-id. The dh . mestic exchanges nev-er were n orse, atid scarce iever can he. The Southern hills are almost worthless at the North, and the West is in nearly as bad a situttio. What is to be done, we know not. The (?UNTrED STATES BANKE) can afrord us no relief, if even it shall be ableto statd itself." Thus spoke the National Intelligencer in 1818, publtshted in Washington City, attd edited by the sate men as row. fed - eralists then, now modern wvhigs; but tien. .lackson was nor President, itor- Mr. Vant Buren. The fetderalists had not then leartn ed to lay all the calamities and distrets of the whole Union to the LIcemocratic Men and Measures. They then spoke the so her truth,. anid did not pretended to deceive the people. From the Ofld Dominion. TuE BANKRUPT LaAw.-One of the htapp~iest events, so far ats the welfare of the great mass of the people is concerned, whicl: have lately transpired, iq the defeat ofthte misnatmed Bankrupt Bill in the House of Representatives, by haying it ott the table. This wvas done at the itnstance of the Hion. Francis WV. Pickens, of South Carolina, whto made the mnotior; he de serves the everlasting graititude of a free people for the noble deed. They will not soon forger the weight of obligation which this act has laid them tinder to this urnshrinking champion of thberr inalienable rights. Had this bill been in accordlance with the true principles of political justice and equality, most gladlly should we have haile'd its suaccessful passae :hrough both Housesof Coneress; but so far from thtis being the fact, it was pariial. unequial, un just to bo0th debtor and credlitor; it was in tended to benefit only a privileged few, and those few the least valuable portion of so ciety-the tupstart dandy speculator. who has rushed into the fiery furntaco of fash jonable robbery, andi who were in wvant of a cloak to screen their career of respect able villany from the eyes of the world. The honest. hardhanded produceer could receive no benefit from ibis law, however poverty stricken he might become-the drones, those worthless excrescences upon our social system. would alone receive its pro tection, and share its benefits. In the coutrse of the debate in the Sen ate upon this questiotn, Gov. Lumpkin made a most excellent speech agaitnst its odions provisions, and concluded in the fol lowing forcible language: "Mr. President, the system and subject of credit hasof late become an interesting theme with politicians. I have often, sir, hteard the present Adinitstration of the General Governmtet denounced for de stroying~ the credit system. 'ro ite, sir, this is all idle-perfectly fallamcionts. My views of a sounid and salutary credit lcett me to fear nothing, ask for nothine. from the Governetnt, in the way of credit. Whbat has this Government to (It with the credit of intdividluals? The only trite basis oif credit is industry, economy, puncluality, and honesty. "The moat who earns and receives more than he spends-who contracts no tiuraona debtr..-who mnnnes all bsie alThirs with prudence and discretion-is but rarely the subject of Providential suf fering andl distress-and when such cases do occur, the moral sense of the communi ty will protect such a one from the avari cious oppression of an unfeeling creditor. Sir, I have always had more credir than motney. I have never hal one noment's distrers for fear my credit would fail. The credit of individuals and government can onIly be sustained by the true dignity of living within the means at command. It is not in the power of individuals, or G..vernnent, to sustain credit by laws of bankruptcy, or by substituaing any kind of fiction for reality. Honesty, sir, is not only the hest policy, but it is a moral duty. We should advise the people to work tnore, and spend less. to pay their old debts, and be cautious how they con tract new ones. The course sutgrested will banish distress, and bring prosperity to our b loved country, without the aid 01 hankrupt laws." The subjoined letter from Macao, though not ofro recent date as the other adviceq, as quite interesting. We find it in the London I1erald, with strong votuchers for the writer's int'-lligence atd means ofoh. tlinittg info~rtmation. MACAO. 15th Fehttarry, 1840. Our situation here is very peculiar. and, i may add, alarmine. You are no doubt aware, that all we Eniglish are now put out ofthe paleof the Chinese laws, and that the sacred Emperor has issued orders to have us driven ott of China. The Man darins are collecting troops from every quarter, for the purpose of carrying these orders into efrect. To oppose the whole force of this mighty empire we have only two small vessels of war, with about t wo hundred and seventy nen on hoard! More over, the Chinese thretaen to exterminate the Portugauese, ifthey do not aid them in expelliug us.from this setlement. Attempt to AesaTsinate the Queen and Prince Albert.-An attempt was made to asbassinaate the Queen and Princo Albert on thie 10th, lay a young rmian namraed Ox ford. ie took his stand on Constitution Lill, up which the Queen's carriage pas. se1. oat its way to Hile Park, and as it came abreast of him fired deliberately twice, the first time at the Prince, and the second at tie Qneen-neither ofthe balls taking effeet. lie was immediately seiz ed. and com'nitted for trial on tle charge of hih tr seanon.

His trial was to take pltce on tle 9th July Courvoister, the valet of Lord William R ussell. was found gailty of his lordship's murder, ltal afterwards made a full con fession of the fect.

Well! the Banks of Charleston resume specie paymentls TO-DAr. There was we believe ao contsultaiion among them. The Batk ol Charleston it is understood. gave a hint that such a course was desirable, and fortified it with some exeellent reasons that l.aptened to be on hand. But the ten dency of the timtes has always been that way. The general sentimeti of the peo ple, the resolute course of the Bank of Charleston fromn the first, and finally the passage of the Itidependent Treasury Act. were all strong' argunents. The forced pruideiie of the suspended Banks from the time of the susp'en -iin. the absence for the the season of all feverish speculation in cotton and the geat exertions of all men to contract their liabilities, have left the banks, the currency and the c)mmunity in a state in which isumption will pro duce no shock to any. The movement was rather sidden and unexpected; the dealers in specie and exchinge may there fore have made some losing bargains, but that is one of their risks. We have again theti a currency redeemable in gold and silver. At least the only exception to it is the issue of "notes receivalle" by the Rail Road Company, put oitt some weeks since to "relieve the ciomunity" of the burden of its somall change. As we are all in n state of relief at Present, we hope the aracious trifles of the R. R. Company will be withdrawn. It is not probahle that this movement of the banks will have any perceptible effect upon the ciretlation. Its effect upl, (nit the price ofexchange will be felt at once -the value of the currenev is immediate ly raised to that of speie. it restores to us an alondant sill chanige circula tion, the comrort of which we need not en large npon. It gives u.s baek our corn terciatl iharacter. Moreover we shall h:ve the honor of being thbe first Stite in the Union to retractliet th It wiSe and timid subiserviency to the Baik of the United States, that marked the suspension of last aututmtn.
