to consume you. And it may be so. Greater men upon the page of history, have been alike unfurtunate. We have is the present day some signal instatices of the early blight of exalted reputation. Think of these things, and be 'wise. "Those most assume, who-knao the least, Their own false balance;gives e'm weight, But ev'ry other. fds 'em light." Let me advert-more particularly to one of your concrusions; " Up Country an oJice seeker." ..And yet you declare that he is opposed to the almost unanimous voice of the State. This is certainly a novel way of getting-office. What reek lesmness of assertion on your part! What logical deduction ! But you, according to your own confession, have gone with the overwhelming majority, and common sense will decide between us. A word to my readers, and I am done. In the com munication which drew forth the pompous commentary from " Amicus," it was ex pressly remarked, that "I have nothing to say against Col. Richardson." He had been nominated by the Mercury-the nomination approved by the Carolinian, and noticed favorably by the Advertiser. The humblest citizen in the State, has the right to make the inquiries. Is he the candidate of the majority of the Legisla ture? Has be been fixed upon by the State Rights party ? By what authority are these public statements made ? These questions were asked as was stated, "in no offensive spirit." Not one syllable spoken against Col. R." If to say a word in behalf of another gentleman, whose name I had heard for upwards of a year. in connection with the Executive office without disparagement to any other, be a crime, then am I guilty. But I could not have conjectured, that in the brief enun. ciations of Col. Hammond's qualifications, such formidable exceptions would have been taken, to the word "State Rights," and that in the language of a committee of the British House of Commous, on a memorable occasion, the bare mention of this once popular epithet, would at so early a period, have been considered "a most transcendaut presumption, of a most dangerous consequence." The impartial reader, will pronounce the assault of " Amicus" unprovoked, and unmerited. I am not insensible to the good opinion of the virtuous and honorable, and will maintain my position of defence, not with fear and trembling for the result, but with the honesty and firmness, which belong to principle. UP COUNTRY. Mr. Editor We have repeatedly heard, (among a number of other gentlemen,) Dr. R. C. Griffin, spoken of,,as a candidate to repre sent our District at the next session of the - Legislature, and we hope er'e long to see his name announced, through the columns of the Advertiser. We do not inteud, at this time, to urge the claims of Dr. G., but will briefly re mark, that his entire devotion to his na tive District, his retiring and modest de portment, his amiable and virtuous char acter, his high and honorable feelings in all the relations of life, etntitle him to the voluntary suffrages of the virttuous and the good. A VOTER. Our attention being called to something else, we made no comnme'ut yesterday on the Barnwell meeting, which, "as the uieighbors of Cul. Hammond," endorses that gentlemani's nomination, and gives reasons for supporting him. This is as it should be. There is plenty of time for the friends of the respective canm didates to say all they can for them; and for that very reason to talk about "fore. stalling," as the Barnwell preamble does, is mere fudge. Let thenm go on informing the people what are their candidate's pub lic claims. Nobody is pledged against him; and ifhby next winter the penple are convinced that he is the best unmed, he will be elected. We do not observe in their enumeration of Col. H.'s claims,any which have not already been conceded to Col. Richardson, except having served in the militia. Not living in his bent, we will not testify from personal knowledge, but we presume-we are almost sure-nay. we will venture to assert-lhat Col. Rich ardson has served in the militia.-Charles ton Mercury. AUous-rA MacU 10. Health of the Cit y.-A report, we under stand, has gained a circulation in many parts of the country, that the city is very unhealthy, and in some instances has been so exaggerated as to induce the im 'pression on the mitnds of the credulous. that the fatal epidemic of the last autumn is prevailing to an alarming extent. What coald have influenced any one to give currency to such an unfounded rumor we know not, for certainly nothing could be more fa'lse. When we were first ad vised of the existence of the report, we supposed the good setnse of the people would at once discountenance it ; but since we have heard of its spreading still mtore, and gathering more alartming fea tures in its progress, we notice it, to say to those who desire to visit the city either on business or pleasure, that the city was never more healthy, or at least so say those who have the best means of knowing. For our own part, we have been in the city now near two months, and we have not seen a funeral or even beard of a case of sickness ofany kind wvhatever.--Chtroni cle 4t Sentinl.

The Session of the Court of Common Pleas, will commence on Monday next. Judge Butler presides. We have had more rain this last week, than has fallen before during the previous twelve months. The earth is so parched, however, by the heavy drought, under which we have been suff'ering, that it will do but little good, we fear, unless it should be followed by an extremely wet season. We will make no comments upon Mr. Calhoun's Speech, the first part of which, appears in our columns to-day. His name will ensure its being read, and the truth and clearness of his arguments, will en sure its being believed. Our Correspondent "Edgefield" inflexi bly maintained for one whole week the "position of an amateur observer of the sport" in the Gubernatorial chase ; but in our present number, instead of "quietly watching the process" in others, be has "spun a yarn" of his own. His reason for revoking his determination previously announced, seems to be that we had "gra tuitously assigned him a station among the number of Col. R.'s supporters." We take leave to say that the assertion, that we classed him as a "supporter" of Col. Richardson is "gratuitous," and that the remark we (lid make was strictly justi fied by his own article. Our remark was " we are gratified that our correspon dents vere mistaken in supposing that "Edgefield" was opposed to the election of Col. J. P. Richardson." And although we do not profess to he very learned phi lologists, we can hardly be so much mis taken in the force of language, as to err in supposing that our remark does not more strongly imply that "Edgefleld" was a "supporter" or Col. R., than his own "ex plicit statement" that "he feels no repug nance to the elevation of Col. R, to the office of Governor." Col. R. "possibly" (leaving even that doubtful,) "would not have been the choice of Edgefield, but he" (E.) "certainly never designed to dispar age him before the public, or to insinuate that he was unworthy of the post," &c. We sup posed that from our editorials on this subject, calm and devoid of all per sonality as they were, enough heat could not have been extracted to have put any one, except a Preston and Bank man, in a stew. %We are therefore at loss to know how we have given ofronceto "Edgefield." H e assured us that he enjoyed the "confi dence and friendship" of Col. R.-that he duly appreciated I* many excellent quali ties and personal worth"-that he enter tained for him "the highest personal re spect, and sentiments of esteem and con sideration inspired by the kind relation of old acquaintance" and last, though not least, that "he felt no repugnance to his elevation to the ojJce of fovernor." T n ad dition to this, "Edgefield" admits that "the organization of the oll parties" (the Nul Sification & Union) "no longer exists in the State"-"that the lines of separation have been obliterated, ahd both" (Union men atnd Nullifiers) "are notw harmoniously uni ted in the patriotic effort of serving the 'State"-"that to carry out the compro mise which was happily effected in the Session of 1831, all th~e public ojices should be open and accessible to each party, and that "the present state of public opinion" and " the true interests of the State," would render the elevation of agentleman from the ranks of the Union party, to the ojfice of Governor, liberal, toise, prudent," and " magnanimous!l" In our simplicity, we supposed that "Edgefleld" was seri ous, and hazarded the opinion that our correspondents were mist aken, in thinking that he was opposed to Col. R.'s election. " The very head and front of our offend ing, hath this extent, no more," unless, indeed, he excepts to our being gratiled at the supposed extinction of his hostility. Should this be the case, as wve do not de sire to give offence, and are not entirely suro that either Col. R.'s success, or our own happiness can be very materially affected by his course, wve wvill agree, for the sake of peace, not to feel quite mo gra: ified--or even if it he absolutely necessary, not to feel gratified at all. If our correspondent be really opposed to Col. R., (in reference to which fact, however, we desire as yet to remain en tirely uncommitted.) it must be from pref erence' of some other individual, and can dor requires that this preference should be indicated. It might be policy in our cor respondent to "keep dark" on this head, it his purpose wvere to aggravate any un popularity of Col. R., for the indirect end of impairing the popularity of some of his supporters here; but if, as we presume, he looks to the good of the State, and not selfish ends, it is but fair that he should declare the candidate for whose benefit he is prolonging the discussion. Edgefield broadly accuses all. classes of Col. R.'s advocates, editors and correspon dents, of " intolerance and proscription," and indirectly acecss them o "unm.,i ted deuuciation," "indelicate interrnga tion," "disparaging insinuations," "offien sive attempts at intimidation," &c., &c. Our correspondents are fully able to defend themselves; but we are unwilling to sub mit without gainsaying to our share of this obloquy. We deny the whole, so far as we are concerned, and ask for the specifica tions and'the proof of this vague and "un merited denunciation." We are utterly at a loss to conjecture to what our correspondent alludes, when lie talks of "offensive attempts at intimida tion," as we have heard of nothing intend ed, or calculated to affright the most timo rous. And as to " denunciation and in sinnation," we apprehend it would be dif ficult to find any where a richer specimen than is afforded by the article of our cor respondent. Without even the pretence of argument or evidence, he rails against all classes of Col. R.'s advocates, and darkly iutimates that he could bring graver charges if he would. As to interrogato ries, though we deny that any of ours just ly deserve the epithet of "'indelicate," we confess we have some fondness for them, and our correspondent must pardon an unpractised writer, for adopting the style that lie finds most easy, and natural. If to interrogate, be an offence, we must here repeat it, and respectfully.ask some cluestions of our corresponde'nt himself. Was there no " disparaging insinuation," of unfitness for the high office of Gover nor, when our correspondent " damned" Col. R. " with the faint praise" of being a. gentleman "of good education, and cour teous manners; but notmore than the e qual of thousands in the State ?" Was there no "disparaging insinuation," in mentioning, as one of Colonel Richard son's highest merits, that he was once. "a respectable member of the State Le gislature 7" Was there nothing unfair, in attempting, before damning hint with this faint praise, to produce the impression that he, (Edgefield,) was one of Col. R.'s old est and most sincere friends, and conse quently was disposed even to exagger ate his merits Was there no "dispar aging insinuation," of loss of confidence, by the State Rights party, in the editor of the Mercury, when lie was spoken of as the " once trusted and influential organ of that party 7" Did our learned correspon dent by his " tres in uno," veil no - dis paraging insinuation" against the correct ness of our statement, that the essays in one of our numbers in favor of Col. R., written by three writers? Could there were have been any occasion for the exercise of "intolerance and proscription," if our correspondent and others had not chosen to disparage the nominee for Governor, made through the recognized organs of phblic sentiment, amid to put forth their own unminces ? Who began this discus sion, and interrupted the general tendency of our whole people, to harmonize and break up old- party distinctions? Who are now seeking to depart from the true issue by raising collateral questions, many of them mischievous as leading to mere personal altercation ? We shahl not further followv our cor respondent in departure from the true issue. Col. Richardson, of undisputed moral, and intellectual qualifications for the office, was nominated for next Governor, by the editor of the Mercury, at the instance of some members of the Legislature; and the nomination has been generally ap proved, as likely to heal old party feuds, and unite in stronger bonds, all in theState,. who are in favor of the Independent Treas ury. EIbhrta, however, have been since made, to divide the old Union Party, by proposing Chancellor Johnson as a can didate, and to divide the Nullifiers by proposing Colonel Hamnmond, and attempting to revive, fur his benefit, the dead and dying prejudices, personal and political, connected with tha stale controversy of Nullification. The true question is, shall the State act with undi vided energy upon political qtuestions of present, and pressing interest,-or shall we renew old party strifes, next subdi vide upon personal preferences, and, in the end, permit the miserable Batik and Preston faction among us, to direct the movements of the State, by taking advan tage of our squabbles. It was our earnest hope, that all discussion would have ceased for the present, & time be allowed for calm reflection. If we are to be disappointed in this hope, wve must at least entreat our correspondents hereafter, to~ discuss prin ciples, and not wander into profitless hick erings. From the Savannah Georgaan FaoM FohIDa.-By the steamter Isis, Capt. Chase, we yesterday afternoon re ceived the Jacksonville Advocate of Tues day last. It contains no Indian news.

The Senate adjourned, at a late hour. last night. The debate was continued with great spirit. Mr. Preston and Mr. Clay both declared that they had always believed that the object of this administra tion was to destroy commerce, prostrate credit, establish a metallic currency, abol ish the banks, &c., and they had under stood these measures to be advocated by the orgaas' of the administration. Mr. King, of Alabama, and Mr. Brown, of N. C., disclaimed this policy, and declared that the Senators had no warrant for im puting it to the administration. Mr. Benton and Mr. Allen, who were particularly alluded to by Mr. Clay, made no explanation. Mr. Preston endeavored to bring them out, as well as his colleague. Mr. Calhoun said, lie would suffer no one to say for him, what his principles were on these subjects. Long experience had shewn him what was the character of these institutions. He made no war upon the banks-but they were perishing by self-slaughter-a train of moral and po litical developements was in progress, which would lead to their complete over throw. They carried within them, the seeds of their own destruction. He would never assent to the doctrines or proposi tions of the Senator from Pennsylvana, (Mr. Buchanan,) in regard to the continu ance of tle banks, and the recognition of them, by the General Government. He differed toto calo, fron the gentleman on this subject He was opposed to his prop osition to amend the Constitution, with a view to regulate the bank, because that would necessarily eniraft them upon our Constitution. After Mr. Calhoun had ex pressed these views, Mr. Clay, of Ky., exclaimed-" that is manly-that is can did-open." The intimation on the part of Mr. Clay and others, was that these radical projects were forwarded by many who did not openly avow them. The Senate finally adopted by a strong, majority, the resolutions and report against the assumption of State Debts-so that matter is ended. The Senate did not sit to.day. The House has again been engaged the whole day, on a knotty point of order, re lating to the presentation, by the Speaker, of some documents relative to the Jersey case. There is a prospect that the Jersey case will be settled, for the present, on Tuesday next, by the admission of Messrs. Vroum, Dickerson, &c. From the Augusta Constitutionalist. AUGUSTA MARKET, MARCH 12. Cotton.-During the week, our market has been extremely dull, and prices re main much about the satne as last noticed. The absence of foreign intelligence has kept buyers out of the market, as holders have shown no disposition to recede from their asking prices, and yesterday, when we closed our inquiries, both sellers and huyers were standing off. At the present time our stocit is much the same as repor ted on the first inst., the receipts since that period being about equal to the outgoings. The sales this week have been confined mostly to small lots, and amount to about 1500 bales, at the following prices, viz: 11 bales i5 cents, 5 at 5J. 6 at 5J, 8 at 6, 13 at 61, 18 at 61, 23 at 61, 3:3 at 7, 67 at 7. 76 at 76, 142 at7, 160 at 71.49 at 7J, 540 at 8,199 at Si, 153 at 84, and 14 at 8A.

Groceries.-We think we can see a de cided improvement in our grocery market -business begins to stir with the coutntry, and our merchants are getting of their stocks at fair prices. There is no scarcity of uny article that we hear of, and our prices remain pretty much the same as last noticed. C'orn.-This article remains quite dull of sale; 50 cents is now the asking price from wagons. Corn Meal is selling from wvagons at 626 cents per bushel.
