Jiscellaneous. 7 Mr. Webster has certainly discovered fj the diff'erence "twixt tweedle dum and S tweedle dee." In his reply to Mr. Cal- r, houn he repudiated and scouted the infer- j ence that he was in favor of assuming the tI debts of the States-said he had ever been H opposed to it, was so still, and should set j himself against every attempt of the kind- A But he was in favor of distributing the re- a venue from the public lands among the , States. He opposed assuming their debts, , and only went for paying them. He would not have the Federal Government i do the unconstitutonal thing of issuing its s stock in place of that of the States, and ti redeem it by the means orthe high tariff- s, would only have the U. States Treasury a emptied among the States, and then the a Federal Government contract a constitu- S tional public' debt on its own account, to 0 be redeemed by a tariff. What a singular L consolation it must be to a large class of 11 men, to be assured from such high author- it ity, that the difference between right and e wrong lies wholly in the pretext we may use to dress up our actions, and in no sort either in the motives or the inevitable ef- tI fect. Will not Mr. Webster favor the ti, world with an abstract of moral philobo- ti phy ?-Charleston Aercury. ja --ti Population.-The census, so far as it has ti advanced, allowing a proportionate esti- it mate for the states in which it has not yet been taken, raises our population to more a than seventeen millions. Vere we dispo- ti sed to meddle in the affairs of nations, our o1 voice would soon command respect, as by ft our population we are placed next to i3ri- P tion, France, Russia and Austria. Even Prussia has been distanced by us, and Tur- ei key with all its dominions in Europe and n Asia. We believe, however, that the adtmi- - miral sentiment of Washington has become 9 the established and approved policy of the d country, and that we shall continue to let the rest of the world fight their own battles n and settle their vexed questions, while we ti confine ourselves to our own national af- p fairs. Before the contest for the masters m ofthe world, which some anxiozs politi- n cians expect to occur between Russia and ti England, will have been decided, if we h1 pursue our peaceful and retired policy, we n shall be a world within ourselves, a coun- t! try greater in population and resources than n any in Europe. Young Men.-Most young men consider it a great misfortune to be poor, or not to tj have capital enough to establish themselves f( at theiroutset in life, in good business.- s This is a mistaken notion. So far from ) poverty being a misfortune to him, if we a may judge from what we every day behold, r1 it is really a blessing; the chance is more i than ten to one who starts with plenty of o money. Let any one look back twenty years, and see who commenced business a at that time with abundant ineans, and s trace them down to the present day-how many of these new boais of wealth and a standing? On the contrary, how many s have become poor, lost their places in socie- t ty, and are passed by their own boon com panions, with a look which painfully says, I know you not! A deaf and dumb man ofLouisville.

Mr. Clay continued his speech to-day, e on the distribution hill, making a more strenuous and labhored effort on that sub- - ject that he bad ever before made. He commenced, however, by referring to a matter not necessarily connected with the question, but which had been incidentally t brought by some one into the debate-the trade between France and the U. States. n~ He said that it now stood on a very une- t qual and to tus atn unfavorable footing. On U our raw material. Cotton, France levied aC dnty of 2 cents per lb. This raw material g after being wvrouight up in France, was made worth three or four hundred dollars fi a pound, and yet wre admitted that manu facture as well as the other manufactures h and prodoce of France free of duty. The ii balanee of trade wvas always unfavorable r< to us. In saying this he did not wish to tntter one sentiment unfriendly to France.. He had anxiously labored, on the contra- a ry, to increase the trade with her, and had a sought, by ditrusing our trade, to break up the concentration of it in the ports of oiie d' power. It was through his means that a a clause was introduced in the taritf of 1832, ru making a ditrereince of ten per ceat in the 13 duty on silks from beyond the Cape of Good Ilope and those from this side of it. M It was with extreme regret that he had e' heard a sentiment from a venerable friend se of his, in the other liotuse, (Mr. Adams) to n' the effect that Louis Phillipe had no right " to the throne of France, either by descent te or conquest, or other title, lie was sorry b such a sentiment had been uttered, and ft he could not concur in it. France, by the ci revolution of 1831. placed Lotuis Phillipe p on the throne, and for ten years she had as sented to this movement, in his opinion, si this gave him a better title than could h ave A been won by conquest, or obtained by the b accident of birth. He could not refrain b from adding that this distinguished nmn- h arch had governed his people, in the midst a of unprecedented difficulties, wiith more firmness and wisdom than any of his con. ti temporarIes:i and further, all christendom I; was Indebted to his moderation and con- ha duct for preventing a general and disas- si trous war, which, once commenced, wvoubt il have involved all the civilized nations of s< the earth-a war, too, in support of the tc pretensions of an upstart Mahometan himself an usurper, &c. be The House, to-day, refused, by a decid- si ed majority, to grant leave to Mr. Morris le of Ohio to introduce his bill to repeal the re Sub-Treasury.' tr isiness.

The i a- House will not touch the pre emption bill 9 V s at this session, but, if they should, its sue- ( he cess would be doubted. The friendsofthe I -th distribution project will reserve themselves t till the next session when they will proba- < es bly be able to pass that measure; especi a ally should it be ascertained, in the mean le- time, that the people are really in favor of I he taking money out of the empty treasury 4 iis for distribution; that is, first passing a ng law for distribution and then providing the It funds by taxation. ng Mr. Hubbard, of N.

VEDNSESDAY, FFBRUARY 10, 1841. We are indebted to the Hon. JOHN C. CAT. *ous, and the Ilon. F. W. Pickens, for various Public Documents, Papers. &c. We have received a copy of the Speech of the Hon. J. C. Calhoun, on the Protective Pre emption Bill. We have not, as yet, had time to peruse it thoroughly, but from the hasty glance we had of it, we have no fear in pronouncing it a very able document. We shall lay it before our readers, for thcir better judgment, as soon as practicable.

Imprisonnent for Debt.-The Legisla ture of N. 11., at its recent session, passed an act to abolish Imprisonment for Debt. The Miami Indians have agreed to sell their lands in Indiana.

The Cahawba Democrat says:-"Jamres ilughes, who was twice convicted of the mur der of Hilburn, has been pardoned by the Go vernor, and was on Wednesday last, once more set at liberty, after an incarceration of eighteen months.

The:Legislature of Louisiana have con- I curred in a low to call a Convention for the purpose of reviewing and amending the Constitution of the State-with espe cial reference to the extension of the elec tive franchise. There is still some dispute on technical grounds as to whether the law can take effect. THE SILK CULTURE. We have observed, with pleasure, that the at tention of Agriculturists. and others throughout the United States, have been turned to the pro duction orsilk. Many embarked in the business last year, and if the spirit does not evaporate, and permit the abandonment of the enterp ize before it has hind a fair trial, our country will ultimately be able to supply her own wants, instead of spend. ing from ten to twenty-five millions per an uum, in the purchase of foreign silks. And this may be accomplished without substracting essentially from the aggregate of our.other pro ducts, as tfie labor of children and others who are unequal to more rugged tasks, will serve to perform nine-tenths of the work reqnired. white the field will open a nev prize to female industry, which has been too long fettered a. motng tus-a field mnor c favorable to health and more congetnial to the independetnce of Amer ican character than the precarious toils of do mestic service. And tnt only will the nowv un productive labor, or rather capacity for labor, of our country, find boundless employment. but the light 'and sterile soils which have been exbansted by improvident cultivation, or tmore naturally unfruitftul. will thus he made prodnce tive beyond the wildest dreamn of thcir propri etors. Butt all thi.s requires time anid patience, and that skill which is only fotund ini contnexiotn with experience. if atny expect to become studdenly rich by the Silk Culture, it is hardly a prophecy, to say they ate doomeed to disapepoitntet. lBut lhe who commences on a small aele no0w, with all the lights which the records of experience, and others enn give him, anid is so ratiotnal as not to caletnlate on making a fortutne by a busitiess, until he has acqnired a practictal knowledge of it, will be alnost certain in otur judgetment. eventually to reap a satisfactory reward for his outlay atid industry. We trust then that this suddlen and very general directionc of capital, etnterpirize and in-. dntstry to the Silk culture, will prove no meere tbble, or transtmit enthusiasm. Georgia has alrealy made great advancement in this branch of agrienlture, and we trust the timie is ncot far distant, when our own State will minore seri ously reflect upon its importance.

The Committee having withdrawn, Dr. Ro, lus was loudly called for, who arose and ad fressed the mecting as follows: Mr. President-As the object of this meeting is one in which we are all deeply interested, it nay not be amiss to take a synopsis ofthe events which have called us together. The proceed :ngs of the last meeting of this Society,in which wvere several resolutions, expressing our disre .ard of that contemptible paper, the "Bache or," (then called the "Bachelors' Button,") tnd of the ill-bred Club who publish it, having leen wholly mistepresented and falsified, and rnr Society attacked by a band of disappointed Bachelors, who it is said are addicted to all torts of enormities and breaches of the peace, ,we are again called together this evening, to a lopt some measures declaiming our disinclina ion hereafter, to notice any communication rom those who have proved false to their own onor, to their neighbors, and to their country. As is known to the readers of the Edgefield kdvertiser, a nd the Bachelor, the AthensBach. lors' Club had the t emerity, a few weeks since, o challenge this Society to a public discussion. I meeting of the Anti-Society was consequent y held and resolutions adopted, setting it forth s the fartherest impossibility for the Athens 'lub to be considered equal in standing to our iwn, either in public opinion or otherwise, and therefore incompatible with the benevolent de iigns of the Anti-Society, to enter into a public liscussion with a ".et ofcrusty, crabbed, sour ild Bachelors." At the same time, however, est they might say that we feared the lash >f their unruly tongues, one of our members was selected to meet "1 any six" of their num. >er, and give them their just deserts. This was giving them a decided advanltage, but we relt conscious that we were in the right, and being so, should be upheld. But how, Mr. President, was this meeting and proposal noticed by them? I need but re fer you to the 23d No. of the Bachelor, to prove that it met with a cowardly equivocating an swer. A meeting was held by the Athens Club, and % Committee appointed to prepare a Report upon the proceedings of our meeting, which Committee, in their report, not onlyevaded. any direct answer to our Society, but spent the measure of their weak-brained craniums, in an article of mimickry and attempted poetry. I could not but be remitded, Mr. President, when I read their report, of a stanza which I htave frequently heard quoted, and wvhich I thitik peculiarly adapted to the situation of their Conmmttee. It is this: " Thou essence of dock valerian and sage, Disappointed in love and pregnant with rage. Thou pest of the age, thou foe to mankitnd, O'er butrdened with grief', and wanting inminad; The worst that I wvish thee for nll thy bad crimes, Is to take thy own physic, and read thy own rhymes." This would give them a task not the most ettviabtle, but might prove betneficial, as it is an oild adage. " that the hair of the same dog will cure the bite.'' Butt the weaikest and most tnncalled for fea tnte in their report is act attempt to implicate the editcor of the Advertiset in our proceed itigs. Now, w'e :as a Society, know Mr. Duri soe to he a getnthsmnen, liut we do not knowv as mneh of the condihuc'or of the Bachtelo'r, neither have we aii opportutnity of ascertatinitng. as he is ashamed to imake public his real name, but assmnecs a fictitions one, and sends forth lisa wvorlhess nonisensicaI sheet, wvith whatever the Athens Bachielors' Chub, 'may say suits their tastes and standing in society. Allow tme to poitnt omit one more gross isrepresentation. which their Committee have had the insoletnce to put forth in theirire port. W~e were challenged to a public discus sion, but not wishing to waste time and enimber the columns of a newspaper. with so trifling a sub'ject, we did otThr to senud a tian to whip a halt' dozen of thtem. The answer nhich we get to this challenge is, " that they have been assailed by us to pacify the wrath of angry wo men." This, Mr. President, is a perfect "back out." Can we then consistent with the high standing of our Society, descend to notice, here after, a set of night wrangling Bachelors; who break windows, smash chamnpaigne glasses and convert the fragmcenits of their crazy feast, into missiles to throw at the servants. Bachie lors of refitted taste: who break their tailors, and make their fathers desperate. In short, whlo have gone astray, and are desperately wicked. My' imrsinand candid belief is, Mr. President, that we should wholly refrain fron, having anuy intercourse with them, and conscious that this Eoeiety " cc mansce" etnter tamu the same opintion, I will leave it with thenm to decide. Dr. Boltus restun:ed his seat amidst shtouts of applause, anti clapping of hands; the comn iittee having returned, submitted throngh their chairman, Miaj. Bottleneck, the following REPORT: Wihercas, a lame attempt has been made by the " Athens Bacheloc Club" to answer studry resolutions adop'ted by thais Society at its last mneetinig, and Wh'Iereas tthis attempt has resulted in a perfect failure ont the patrt of said club, in giving any direct anud decisive answer, but clearly exhibit ed their inability to sustain a respectable posi tion itt Sc'citynnd
