We omitted to deknowledge in our last, the receipt of sveral papers and documeurs from the Hon. F. W. Pickens. We have also received from him several Washington papers. We have received from the Hon. Wad dy Thompson. a copy of his speech, "On the President's Annual Message." THE CLOs. Or THE VoLUM.-The 'present numtber -completes the 4th Volume "of ihe Edgeflield Advertiser. We return our sincere thanks to those putictual sub scribers, who have taken our paper for some years past. We ha-ve labored 'un ceasingly for their edifleation and amuse -ment, and we hope not altogether in vain. We have furnished them, in our columns, with many good State Rights documents and speeches, Agricultural essa-ys, 'selec -tions of foreign and domestic new's, mis-. cellatieous articles. communication's n all sorts of subjects. and last and least of all, 'our own editorials. We are grarefal 'for 'former patronage, (as the'inerchants ray,) -and hope for a comt inuance of the saie. To that numerous class, % ho. so far a we arc concerned, have suspended specie payments, bank note payments, skin plaster payments, pgyment it their own riotcs. 6r any kind ofpayAents, *hat shall we say ? The argument with them, is almost ex :hausted. We have appealed to then., entreated them,-coaxed them; we have done every thing, but threatened them. Doubtless. many of them say, " It is vast 3y indelicate in you, Mr. editor, to he con tioually aiviii such broad hints to yOur subscribers ! We will cease to take your .paper, if you dont mend your manners !" We admit that there is some indeteccy in asking payment of money due. Bat our -ereditors waive all ceremony with regard to us. and we must do likenise, towards 'our debtors. If these last mentioned per s'mns will now pay the several sums, which they owe us, we will, like good Christians, forgive them for their past offentces to wards us, and will cheerfulfy commence uew accutAs with 'tiem. in bori ne't v6lume, e will publish the ino-t import ani Acts paseed during the la'e Session of the Legislature. The Act to raise Supplies foi' the par 1839-The facts int thte statemeLnt below arc furnishe'd us, by, an i n'telligentt gent lematn, in it honm perfect conltdence cant he placed. The Conmpt roller Genei-a's tnotice to) the Tax Collectors and other officers, int rela tiont to thte kind of monmey, to he received in paymetnt of Tax'es, we understand has produced sotre excitement in the 'commt mity. The clause of the Tax Act of thle labt session, requiting the taxes to lbe paid " in specie, paper meditimt, 'o- the hnotes of specie paying bac~ks, of this state," is j'ult the same as lhas been in every tax act for the last twenty years; and a isomnent's reflec tion will satisfy any one, thtat a majority of the Hlotts of Represtatatives, cubiid hot contsistently htave votedl to dis.pense with 'such a r' qutisitionznow. That 'i-ach oif the Letgislature,'had passed, with grea: unanitmiity, a bill to cotmpel lh'e suspeunded banks to resumte specie paymnents, and af ter thet fadultre of that hneasdre in the Sen ate, the llottse cotld ntot, with a'ny propri ety, have sanctibn' d thte suspension .Iflpe cie payments orn ite part of those banks, by direting the Tax Collecelis lo i-ceiv'e 'their bills. The State Bank and its bratnches, the Bank of Chairleston, thte CominIt ael Bank of dolumbia, the Camdien imhk, the Batik of Cherao , and perhaps the Hiambutrg Bank, htave not suspended, so ihat thte dificeulty of procutrihig titoibey, wtith whtich to pay our taxes, will niot ite so great we hope as one' wvould at first, sutppose. Besides, wie trutst, that be'fire shte time of c'ollectiont, the other banks of the State. will hauve resumed.* We understand also, tifat some misap prehentsiont exists, in relation to the tax on Jltnds. Some suppose that the tax of "30 cents ad valorem, ott every httn-'re dollars of the value of all landus t"ranted ini this State,"' is a tax of I0 c'ent. on every htun tired dollars of the real vatlue. But those who put suc'h a construtctiotn upont the act, entirely forget that int 1815, atn act wvas passed classifying all thte iattds in the State, and thast the tax imposed, is itt referetnce to the v'alue of thee lttnd, accordlingt to tinge classification; there is no alterationt of the ot%' have su on it stated, thait the Batik in'na-...iu... ;s ..so a ..s,.:,. .p,.t.., taxea in the last act of the Legislature, except on Brokeraze. That body did not raise them in the least degree. The Charleston Courier, Patriot, and South Carolinian, all conetr with the Mercury. in the nomination of the lon. J. P. Richardson, for the Governshilp. The Pendleton Messenger thinks that any committal on the subject now, is prema ture. We see "no neessuty fr haste in tlii matter. tho'ugh we haie 'tio Prejudice a gainst Mr. Richardson. Ml accounts speak very favorably of him. Cos a tvss.-The hilliior tire arinit'I oc Cpatioin of Florida, passed the Ser-ate. on the 20th inst. Mr. lreston spoke against it. Mr. Clay spoke some time in opposi tion to the Sub Treasury bill, which came up, after being engrossed for a third read ing. Mr. Walker had the floor when the Seuite adjourned. Mr. Buchanan 'was expected to follow. The House, took up1 Mr. Thompson's amendment again. res pecting the disposition of abolition peti tions. Mr. Siade. of Vt. . consumed the day, in advocating the reception of peti tions, and the right of Congress, to legis late on'Slaiery, in the District of Colum) The Mercury says that. Governor Mc Duffie will deliver the eulogium on Gen. Hnyne, on some day between the 10th and 14th df February. We ha'e received some ninlers of the Dail' Telegraph, publits.ed at Savannah. Ga. and edited by C. Macardell. Its typograpihical'execution is neat. The ed itor advocates the prinoipes of Democ racy. UsrTo STATS BAtK.-The tr-ange ment for a loan of900.000l. sterling, enter ed into between Messrs. Rothschild & Sons, and Mr. Jaudon. on behalf of the United Staies zidk, has been fnally a greed upon. The British Pariament met ac6ording to prorogation, on the 12th o'f becember. and was again prorugued by Royal Corn nitission, to the 16th of January, 1840. Judge White, Senator froin Tentiossee. has resignid 15s sent, in consequetfce or the instructions of the Legislature of that St ate,requiring.1heir Senators in Congfess, to vote fbe Sub-Treasury.

Thte sinull pocx is said to h'e ragine to an alarming extent, in the Nors to. ru Liberties of Phiiladelebia.

Th'e Baltimore Patriot of the 20th inst., says':- the accounts from Washington are, that Mr. WVise is dangerously ill.

It is sotneihing singuldr~, thaut such a untaher of reports uald calumnies, each of which, gives the lie lb th'e other, should 'estenihate shiout tis gentlemni. The M~h'cury says: "It, is emilIig to compare the three last W htii inventi--ne. touching Mr. C~Atuous, put forth within a few Weeksa ol' each other. First, they got up ta rumor, which was spread lby all the Whig papers, that Mr. C*Auous had all at (tire betome atn ad vocate~ of the protective Tariff! And how they lduded him' They always thought forsooth, itat he wvas too intelligenit, attd patrlitts andlhigh-mtinded, not to atbandon the Suli-Treasary; embrar:e the Amnericant Systt.tm, and coalise itii Ml.

M any -of the WVhig, and some of the Administration jftipers; call him a thor ough-goinig Vant Buretn man. lin other word<', they say that he is perfectly ideati fled with the party in ptowei- We do not believe it. He has lately said that he wtill 5upport the leadin's meadoffs of the AM. ministration, suci as the South approves, but we feel cifident that he will never be the servile follower of any party. Ile is neithr :a Harrison nor a Van Buren man. He does aot wear the livery of ei iher, but lie is a State Rights man, en phatically, a Calhoun man. GENEIAL HARRISON ON SLAVJa.-As much has been said about i he opinions of (jeneirAl lIlarri-1n1, on Slavery. we have thought it but jut to make the,11'lowing extract from an Address delivered by him, t Vincennes, Indiana, two years since. With regard to the present relations (if Genaeral l1anison towals ahe ahulijion i-ts, % e are niot sat.-tactorily intorumed, as varione statemlen-4 on this subject have been published. Jaome of ahe lading ah 1lition paper< denounce his iomination. The Chole-4.n Courier, an Administra tion paper, considers him at present, sound f.m the'question of slavery. But h1is o)in ions on top subject, generally, if he has not been mi'sr.-ireseau-d, are far froi being satisfactory. 1 insist that if the citizens of tlie 'n'n slave-holding 'taaes can avail themselves of the article of the Constitution, which prohibits the restriction of speech, or the press to publish any thin::, injurious to the rights .f the Slaveholding States, that they can go to the extreme that I have mention.i, and effect any thintg further which writing or speaking could effect. But, fellow-citizens, these are not the prin cipies of the , Constiution. Such a con. struction would defeat ione of the great objects of its formatsion, which was that of securing the pence and harmony of the States, which vere'parties to it. The lih erty of speeeb and of the press, were given as the most efflctual nienns to preserve to eah and 'everv citizen their.bwn rights, and t.) the States, the rights which apper tained to then, at the time of their adop tion. It could never have been expected that it would he used by the citizens of one portion of the States, for the pirpoze of depriving ihose c'f ani'her p6rtion, of the rights which thev had reserved at the a delption of the Consiitution, and in the ex e-rcisc Jf which. none but thremselves have. any concein or interesi. If slavery is an evil, the evil is n% ith rhen. If there is Euilt in it, the guilt it theirs, 6ot'hurs,'since neither the States where it does not exist. nor the Government of the United Stntes can, without usurpation of power, and the violation of a solermn cottipact, do anything to remove it without tlie consent of those who are immediately interested. it they will neither ask thr aid, nor consent to be aided whilst the illegal. persecuting and dangerous movements are in progress. of which I complain; the interest of all coucerned, requires that these should be stopped inimnediately. This-ckan only be done by the force of public opinion, arid that cantiot too soon be brought into ope ration. Every movertoent which is made by the abolitionaists in the non-slaveholdiig States, is viewed by our Southern breth ret, as an attack upon their rights, and which, if forei-tod in, must in the end, eradicate those leelings of attnchient and A'e-tion between the ciaizens of all the States which was produced by a commu itly ofioteresis and daiers in the War of theRevolutiou, which was the fionilation of our happy union. nnid hv i contlinance of which, it can alone he'prceerved. I en treat yon then, to Crown upon the neas nares which are to produce results so mntteh to be deprecated. The opinions w hich I have now aiven, I have 0-itted no oppor nuit~y for the last two years to lay before the paeople of miy owtn State. I have ta ken the liberty tea ex pre-ss t hem hieae. knuow inig that even if they should unfortuitely not .accordJ with yours, they would be kindly received." Mla.

"Death has been busy at his appointed ork." The Rev. R. M. Todd, whose death. was announced in this paper of last week, ias born in Virgiid,'in the year 1774. and died in this State, on the 15th instant, need 66 years. Until the age of 31, Alr. TodId had etnioved very linited opporiuni ties of iniellectualimprovenent. At thi-' period, the writer of this article had ithe satisfaction of making his first acquaint ance with Mr. T. ,it wias in the pulpit.

On being proposed to the General Committee of Churches in the Charlesoon Baptist Asso eintion. he was accepted as a Beneficiary, ani-I entered upon a course of sindy, in which he mate respectable proficiency. On the termination of this course, He de vired himself more fully to the work of the Ministry. In this great work, he oc cupied, severtal important sthtili. dis labors were owned by the Head *of the Church, and many, it is believed, will be found in-the last day, nimbered with the redeemed of the Lord, as seals to his Min istry. About twenty years since, Mr. Toid entered into the marriage relation with a lady, one of .the thost amiable and pious of ier'sex. T wo daughters, the re suit of this conexion, remain, to comfort the aillieed heart of their widowed mother. -it wds tire pri'vilege of their honored father to knmw that thw' elist 6f theie dedr'ilil dren had put on Christ by baptism. For several years previous to his death Mr. Todd had been afflicted with a piilirio nary con plaint. Its violence increased up onl hum, to such .'n extent, for some time belure he died, 'thht it ihrew him into a long contittine'd, anil painful illness. This illness he bore i ith the meekness and for titudeo that become a follower of Jesus Christ.
