press our views on a question, in our opin ion, of greater importance to the United States, and particularly the southern por tion thereof, than any which the country has been called to ilecide, since the De claration of ludependence-that, if there over was a time imperiously demanding the sacrifice of.all party viens and univer sal devotionto the public safety, that time is the present, when the most imminent danger threatens the tranquility and con tinued union of the confederacy. "That we regard the people of Texas as our brethren in every respect, but chief ly emigrants from our own country, who carried with 'them to the far West the same love of freedom, and the institutions for its preservation, which distinguish the Unied States-that whatever may be their destiny, we can but feel a lively interest in their welfare. and sympatbise with them, as we have dpne, in all the events of their fMture history. " That we consider the re-annexation of Texas a matter of national policy sus tained by the interest and honor of the nation, and which should be regarded by all-as a question, whether British or Amer ican feeling and interest shall predominate among American freemen -that, being purely a national question, we deprecate .the introduction of party feeling on an oc casion which calls for the unanimous co operation of all patriotic and honest hearts in securing the immediate arrangement of the Treaty stipulations. -" That we highly appreciate the public motives of the President of the United States in effecting the Texas treaty, and honor the prudence and-patriotism which led to its proposal-that we believe, to the fullest extent, the importance of the views presented in his message. and the neces . aity of immediate annexation, if ye intend to thwart the designs of our enemies and maintain the integrity ofour Union. "'That, if the American Senate should 'prove. recreant to its trust, and should from party motives, or mere sectional jealousy, reject the Treaty,'we believe the whole country, indignant at the outrage, will rise in mass and demand what is alike essen tial to its interest and honor." Texas Meeting in Chatham County, (Ga.)-A very large meeting, irrespective of party, of the citizens of Chatham Co., (Ga.,) was held in Savannah on Wednes day evening. Resolutions were 'passed similar in character to those which have been adopted in other parts of the South era country. The Georgian remarks : The resolutions were adopted with a cheering unanimity. The speakers eviri ced true American spirit. One-General Hamilton. of S.d., we had not before had the pleasure of hearing in.public. He re alized fully our expectations of his matur ed and well earned reputation. Col. Har den also treated the subject ably, and we rejoicedeo see was not disposed to shun a discussien which should-which must unite every American.-Chas. Patriot. From the Globe, May 17 SENATE CHAMBER, May 16, 1844. Gentlemen : You will do me the jus tice to publish in the next Globe the en closed letter, voluntarily offered me by my colleague, and with it my asservation that, during fifteen years' service in the House of Representatives. I bhve- failed asseldom as any other member of that body, be he whom he may, to give my vote on any question directly or indirectly con nected with the tari8'policy of the country. I am your obedient servant, Alessrs. Blair & Rives. SENATE CH AME ER, Mlay 16, 1844. Sir: I have seen in the Globe of this mnorning an allusion to the time and cir cumstanlces under which you resignedyour seat in the House of Representati-ves and1 took your seat in the Senate of the Uni ted States. Th'e article in the Globe does you injustice. I know, from frequent con versations with yon, that your wish and previous initention was to remain in the House of Representatives until the tariff' was finally disposed of in that body. But, when the treaty for the annexation of Texas became the subject of discussion in the Senate, I suggested to you the pro priety, in- my opinion, of your taking your seat in the Senate without further delay ; and although you agreed with me that the Texas question was one of paramount importance, yet 1- feel convinced that you left the House before the vote was taken upon the tariff' with great reltuctance; and that you wvere only induced to do so from an overruling sense of public duty, grow ing out of my conviction, and' the convic tion of your other friends in the Senate, that the executive action of the Senate on matters connected with the.Texas treaty must necessarily commence, as it did com mence, on the very day you took your seat. I am, with great respect, your friend and obedient servant, A. P. BAGar. Hon. D. H. Lewis, U. S. Senate.

McMakin, of our vil lage, expired on Friday last, after having .a'~ered excruciating aony for t wo nr three days. It seems, that by some means, it had eaten a. portion of fly poison (cobalt) mixed in molasses.-Spartan. Interesting Decision.---The General Methodist Conference, now in session- in the city of New York, on Saturday last made an important decision touching the right of ministers in that persuasion'to hold slaves. Tbe facts are thus briefly stated in the New York Tribune: At the last meeting of the Baltimore Annual Conference, Francis A. Hardin, a travelling preacher, was suspended from his Ministerial functions for refusing to emancipate five slaves which had come into his possession by marriage with Miss Susan Swan, of St. Mary's county', Md. From this decision he appealed to the General Cotference, and after devoting nearly four days to an inyestigation of the case and a hearing of the parties, that body on Saturday last rendered a verdict agirming the decision of the Baltimore Conference, by a vote of] 17 to'. 56, thus settling the principle that a slaveholder. in a State where the laws do not render enieucipation impossible, ought not to be ordained as a preacher in the Methodist Episcopal Church. Oregon.-The St. Louis Democrat says, that about five btndred individuals have already collected at Independence and vicinity, for the purpose of emigrating to Oregon. They expect to be joined' in the course of the present month by about fifteen hundred more persons, who are from amongst the most hardy pioneers to Wisconscin, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa. The IWeather.--For some time past the country. has suffered for want of rain. On the river lands, especially, we understand, the growth of corn has been much retarded, and in many places destroyed by the grub and other insects. Ot Sunday last, how ever, we were visited by a refreshing rain, and the clouds at present indicate contin ued showers. The Cotton prospects are favorable, although the stands in some in stances, are deficient, yet, on the whole, we have every reason to expect abundant crops. - The Wheat looks well and is for ward for the season.-Cheraw Ga:etuc. The Brig Francis Lord.-We had a terrible British outrage reported as having been perpetrated upon the coast of Africa which went the rounds of the papers some four or six weeks ago. We published at the time the fact, that the owners of the brig had received letters from the Captain dated after the outrage was committed: which made no mention of the affair. The brig has now returned, and Capt. Brown states that a musket ball was fired from the British brig Alert, and the ball passed over the Francis Lord; that the comman der of the Alert immediately hailed the F. L. and said she perceived that a ball had been fired, that it was not designed, and that he regretted the accident and would inquire into the cause of it. After arriving at 'Sierra Lone, the commander of the Alert came on board the F. L. and stated that the accident happened through the carelessness of the gunner who had been severely punished for it, and he made all the apology which could he asked of any officer or gentleman. Capt. Brown did not mention in his letters, because he was entirely satisfied, and counted the in cident as not deserving further notice. Jour. Com. A Cotton Factory is about to be estab lished in Buffalo. Under the extravgant duties imposed by the present Tariff, such tmanufactories will be establishted all over the country. Millions of -capital will be invested, multitudes of persons will turn' their attention from other pursuifs to this, the business will be overdone, the markets will be glutted, a crash 1yill come, and thousands will he ruined. ThIs will be a just retrib~ution for attempting to enrich ote class of otur fellow citizens at the ex pense of others.-N. Y. Jour. of Corn. Murder Will Out.-We learn verbally a strange story of a murder said to have been committed at or near Chippeuva. A Captain Brunt~lage, who some . years ago run a little steamboat Victory between this port and Chippew~a, and who has since re sided at or near that place, is the party implicated. A woman and child were living with him. Some time ago, but how long we are not informed, the woman, who had somse six or eight hundred dollars in cash, and her child disappeared, but no suspicions were aroused, until one morn ing w hen the sexton wvent into the grave yard and discovered a new made grave. He wondered who dug it, and the incident giving rise to some remarks, it at last came to the ears of a half crazy fellow, called "old-Moses," living in the nteighborhood, who related the following story. He said he was lying in the grave yard the night before, when Brundage brought in a wo man and child and buried them. The grave was immediately opened, the bod ies of the woman and child were found in it. Brundage was forthwith arrested, and is now in the jail at Niagara awaiting his trial for murder.--Buffalo Cor-. Ada. A SNAKE STORY. Lynching .Extraordinary.-A case of lynching basn recently occurred in Anson Co., (N. Carolin~a.) of quite a novel and interesting character. The parties enga ged, were two large coach whip Snakes, the assailants, and a worthy. citizen of An son, the recipient. The latter was traveling through the woods when, towards night-fall he was attackedt by two enormous snakes, who wound themnselves- round his body, and inflicted on him a summary and ex tremely severe punishment. He was of course, dreadfully frigbtened, and after feeling in his pocket, in vain, for his knife, succeeded at length in choking one of his assailants, which having disengaged froip his person, he flung some distance from hint, when the; other left him. lie was severely cnt, by tbe lashes inflicted upon him, and still remains on his person the marks. The above has been related to urn by gentlemen on whese veracity we fully rely, as a fact, and we record it for the singularity of the occurrence, challenging at. the same time the belief of our readers in the truth of the story.-Cherato Gazette.

VALETINE MOTT, Surgeon General of the American Shipwreck Society. For the Advertiser. Editor of the Hamburg &mrnal : SIR-Yotlr last paper has been received and has been carefully considered. if your reply, to us, was intended as a specimen of wit, we will not deny that you have been eminently successful, the severity of your satire being only exceeded by its refinement. We think it, however, somewhat unfortunate for your cause, that you should haye selected this occasion to indulge your genius in that way; for though we inay attribute your reply to the more superabundance of brilliancy; others may be so uncharitable, as to suppose that it resulted fiom your inability to defend either your own course, or the principles of your candidate. In short, that it was a mere device to avoid replying to questions you could not answer. The world you know is not char itable. We are led to this remark, too, from the impression which your course has made upon our own mind. We are not, we must confess, entirely free from the suspicion that you do find some little difficulty in answering our questions, and, at the same time, maintain ing your consistency. When we think of the dilemma in which youi are placed, we some times almost regret that we ever began this correspondence, and we would, even now, drop it if you.would only open your columns for a fair discussion of the great iqdestions at issue. The truth is, we do not, for reasons which we will explain, blame'you for support ing Mr. Clay; but, only for the manner in which you do it. We believe, i'eover, that till we began this cotrespondence, you were not con scious of any inconsistency in trning from Mr. Calhoun to him. We look upon your present support of Mr. Clay as the result of accident and want of politicar information, rather than the want of integrity: In a fit of honest indig nation, against Mr. Van Buren, for intrigteing Mr. Calhoun out of the nomination'by the Bal timore Convention, you declared you'rself in favor of Mr. Clay, without thinking of his prin ciples. We suppose, that, if the'trath had been known, you had been supporting Wl. Calhoun without any particular reference to i. . You went for him, as you would have gone for any friend, who was a candidate for Tax Collector, or the Captaincy of a Beat Company, 6ecause you liked him, and not because you saw in him, the embodiment of a set of principles, which would, you believed, if carried out, con duce to the p~ermanence of the Union, und the prosperity and happiness of the whole country. 'Twas the man not the mneasure' yo' were supporiing, a'nd such we believe ari the feel ings which now influence you in su'pporting Mr. Clay. You go for him, because you like hitii, and dishke Van Buren, unconiscio'ts that by so doing, you' are assisting in the establish ment' of a systemn of policy, which must prove highly detrimet-al to' our interests, subversive of the Constitation, and, destructive' perhaps, of the g'avernment itself. If we be'not incor rect ha this opinion, you m'ay, in one seneid of the word, be eaid not to have a'dted ando'nsis tently.' For, we suppose'you' to' ha94.t een influenced by the same motises i'n suppoi-ting both Mr. Clay and Mr. Calhoun-piersonal predelictibmi. This is the ohuly explanation, which our confidence in your integrity,. will permit us to make ofrthe apparent patadox of changing, in one week', from the dupport of one of the'se distinguished iudividuals,to that of the other, who are the-verj political antipodes of each other. It is dangerous ini polities,/as in private affairs; to trust to th'e guidance of ifas sion and prejudice, instead pf settled principles and views'of sound policy; and he' who dos' must expect to commit many errors; and, if in public life,' to be frequently subjected to the mortificatiozf ofseeing themh'esposed. -Should this be your sittuation, it is your mis'or'tun not our fault. But, be that as it may, you may rest asured that'you cant gain nothing by lon ger silence. Thetcarges have been-made, and if you do not answei-, they will liei thken pro conafeaso against both you and your candIdate. W7e will only add; in this connexion,' that we shall, on your own acdoubt, regret to learn that our surmise, as to your motives, for sup portinig Mr: Clay, is incorrect'y for wa would not willingly believe, that you know Mr. Clay's principles, and support him because you ap prove of them. In odr'oinort; it is better to be weak than criminal. The leaders' of his party, in the South, who understand-his poli cy, and appreciate its fatal tendency, and yet support him, and attempt, by appeals to poput har prejudice, to blind the people to their own interests, deserve, in our opinion, the deepest condemnation, and the bitterest denunciation. They ",know the right, and yet thme wrong pur sue." But you, we have never Classed among these-we have believed your's to be "an er ror of the head, and not of the beart," and have, therefore, exCused much that would otherwise, have deserved deep and severe censurb. This belief, ad our kind feelings towards you per sonally, render it peculiarly unpleasant to us, to be forced to inflict pain upon you, as we feel we do, by continuing this correspondence.

What has you last article to do with the question between us1 We will hazard the assertion, that it is the most extraordinary .production, under the circum. sances, that has ever been seen. You were urging upon us to support Mr. Clay. We sti ted our objections to him, and pledged ourselves to join you, heart and hand, if you could re move those objections.

How could our answering theim affect the issue be. tween us ? If your article is published in the Advertiser, as we trust it may be, we are cer. tain, that, if those who read this, will turn to it, they will not find a single sentence in it, which has the remotest bearing on the subject under consideration. (To be continued.) CAROLINA. For the Advertiser. Mr. EnIro.-We saw with pleasure; an editorial in you last number, as well as in one of your preceding numbers, calling upor the citizens of.the District, to hold a meeting on next Sale Day. The object of that meeting, of course, will be to pass resolutions relative to the Annexa tion qf Texas. Annexation has non become a question of deep excitement throughout the whole Union.. The people of the United States have not yet become so dead to the truest in terest of their country, as to reject the finet portion ofthe habitable globe, when voluntarily offered to them. Thank God, Henry Clay and Martin Van Buren are notable to lull the whole country into passive obedience to their will, and total indifference to the glory of our re public. Public meetings are being held front one extremity of the Union to the other, assert ing the Independence of Americans; and eve ry newspaper inimical to Great Britain and the fanaticism of Abolitionists, is filled with resotu tions calling for the immediate Annexation of Texas, and denouncing the treachery' of those politicians who have shown themselves capa ble of sacritiuing not only the lItest interests of their country. but even its honor and glory, for their own political aggrandizement. Let us meet then, on next sale day, ind at least complain of our wroug, if we cannotre dress them. A modification or reduction of the Tariff of 1842, has not yet taken place, but has been most shamefully neglected, and the rights of the South have been treated with profound est contempt. If, however, we enter fully and zealously into the dischaige of our duty, we are led to believe, it is not in Henry. Clay and Martin Van Buren, the Abolitionisti and M.an atfacturrers of the North, or even the British Par liament itself, to cheat us out of our dearest rights, and to rob the American republic of the finest portion of territory the dun efet ilione upon. We hope we sall see the whole Districi at the Court House on next Monday, ready and willing to express their views on the great questions thirt are now agitating the country, and their strongest indignation at the donduct of those public men, who have shown them selves so utterly destitute ofevery sense of pub. lie duty, as to reject the choicest -boon ever of fered to this country, from ulo other motives under heaven, then' to' giatify their insatiable lost for placetid power. EDGEFIELD DITRIcT. tar the Advertiser. NOT TrAT WE LOVE "AtNEATIoN" LESS, BU1 THAT WE LOVE " Division" MORE. "i e-s will for the present simply suggest, that a Public Meeting, of al the-citiwens of this bis trict, be held, suhisplace on sale day."-Edge field Advertear. ;..o Mn Ezrrok: I should god'ss that the citi zens or the.Salud& Regiment were in fuvor of " Annexation" to a man-'-soily, and sore of the Jadiestoo;'-but wlat! shall we go away thirty mires to a rieeting-leave our farns anc other avocations this busy season. for three days, to speak ouf synipathy for a suffering peoplei This would be puraiseworthy, byuti would require moulething uiore thani the sorrou that the Frerchin'* expressed to th'e own'er o a drowned h'orse-his' alr-while others were standing round with 6uplifted hiands and' 6per mouths, speaking their so'rrow, ho put a live dollar bill into the poor man'a hand, and ths addressed t1:e gaping crowd, "Me sorrow bin wid on'e five dollar,. The F'tenchaman's sor row was heartfelt; or, if! might be allowed the expression, it was tangible. , Well, now, I say our sympathy must be greater thtan the French man's, even to get a chance to speak our sorrov fon Texas. Poor Texas! Thirty miles to the Court House,.threoe days time, and five dollar of the needful, it matters not how asuch the citizens of the Saluda Regim'ent areii: favor o " Annexation,". they mire th~irs debarred from atendinig the meeting. It ma'teru not h'oy much' they are in favor of the. Arnexation' o Texas'to the United States, they are' more ii favor of a Divisiqn of Edgefield Jbistrict. I mat'tra not how far their sympathiu may rut for the citizens of Texas, they feel the tmutl and a ppositeness of the provrerb, that "cleatrits should begin at home." Therefore all the idli time, and surplus funds that we'have, will be more fidy appropriated',, adeording to the law of nature. in ~u rthering ou'r planito obtain the end we have so long had in view, But-, whet we get a honse forir own1 and set tup to hiouse keepitig foi- ourselves, we can then vapou forth our sorrow, withoiit t'ouching the "tende point"-our poelcet, The truth is, Mr. Edit'ir, the subjec t of' "Di vision" is taking precedence, in the niinds a the citizendof the Salada Regiment, of ever thing else of a political nature;i it is'here whe the shoe pinches; it is here where' ve ar groun'l abd setieoted' into thme'mi'ro and filth a injustice and oppression ithis isthe Tariff,-th wiors't Tariff, thtat we' haive ever experiencesd it is this that detands all ohr time and ener gie until-we get tediress; and nmey th'at imn be short. It has been said that a systedm of Cod*ntj Courts, or an increase of Magistrates juribdic ttori, would be all sufficienit for our wants Thiis is an unmanly insiuation. It is not tha we desire increased facilities for going to laia with our .friends and ne'ghbor's, yet, it is true enough, thtat it will fecltt the matter'sat law but the pritne objee isto add to Qunconvenien ces ; to preserve to Guarinns, Aininistrators Executers, &c., the little commission whici they reeeive for their- trouble, which' is non taken off in the shape of tavern bills, &c. The fact is, we ansider ouiselves full grow'n atndfully coompetent of setting up fot ourselv~es as-an act ofjustice'we claim the Division,-we clahn it as a righbt, and feel'deter'mihed to per severe until we get it.

Coton.-There - is. no alteration to notice from last weok's. prices. Fair cottons go off readily at ruling rates. whiledescriptions below these are dull sale, and in many anstatets there is a difficulty in pushing them off. Our quo. tations are from 44 to 7 cts-principal sales 51 to 61 cis., with a dull market.-Journal. COLUMNDI, May 23. Cotton.-There continues to be something doing in this article-mostly in store lots-and prices range from 5 to 74 cis., extremes. Very little, however, brings over 74 fromf: wagons. -Carolinian. AUGUSTA; May 23. Cotfon.-Since our last notice of the trade,. the cotton market has assumed a duller aspect, dwing in a great measure to the unwillingness of holdefs to make conceasions, and the advi. cee daily eipected from Liverpool by the Bri tannia, which is to bring dates to the 4th of this month. The stocks in the American ports have been reduced pretty largely, more so, however, in the Atlantic ports, and the receipts. every where are very light. The receipts in this marljet are not worth mentioning; the stock is still large, though the shipments to Sa vannrli have been somewhat large. The prices quoted in our review of last iThursday have been barely maintained; the exttemes are 4& to 7 cents; and the sales effected, which were few, have been at prices ranging from 5 to 64 cents. In the present condition of our market, it is impossible to give any correct account of it. -Constitutionalist. 07' The friends of Colt 0.
