Understanding that Col. D. T. Elmore a of this place had met Capt. Fowler at the gieul Rail Road Festival in Kentucky, while present as a Delegate from this Stitc, and seen him preside there, Sue., c we requested from him a statement of the 1 facts, and have been politely favored with r the tallowing reply: Columbia, Sept. 29, 1810. c 1 v Col. A. II. Pemberton: r Sir:?In reply to your favor, 4-cqucs- ? ting me to state what I know of Captain ? John Fowler, who in a letter addressed r to Capt. Henry Daniel, under dale ef ^ the 27th of June last, says: " I was in 0 Congress, as a member, during the great struggle between Jrtferson and Adams, jj and know the fact, that William Henry _ Harrison, then a Delegate from the North tV till1. -Adams. He was a Federalist and ^ wore the Black CockadeI with plea-) tj sure state, that in August, 1&3S, I was at j the city of Lexington, as a Director in /} the Louisville, Cincinnati and Charleston ,r Rail Road Company: that I attended n Barbactie festival given by Kentucky, in jr compliment to the States of Tennessee, ei North Carolina, and South Corilina, in T company with the other gentlemen repre al senting thosa three Slates; that upon the 0| ground, I met the largest and most re- m spectable collection of people I have e? ever seen; amongst whom, I remember a, Mr-Clay,, and Mr. Crittenden, the two S nators in Congress, of that State, Col. w Johnson, the Vice President of the Uni-jm ted States, Ex-Covernor Melcalf, many j f of the Judges, and members and ex-mem-1 lr bers of Congress, the Shelbys, and numerous other citizens of Kentucky, of fir the most respectable character; that I CJ saw this same Captain John Fowler pre- ?j siding over the meeting, and Was intro- gc duced to him, and informed that he had been an officer in the Revolution, and a 0( iuetr.brr ?f Congress from Kentucky, at W( t! e alluded to in his letter to Capt. ac Daniel; and I have since been informed, |,e i-\ a citizen of Kentucky, that he is dead, cn tu.l uas followed to his grave by 3,000 of fn iii* neighbors- j af I cannot for one moment believe that I rni such honors, paid recently to Captain1 pe John Fowler, living and dead, could' p| have been bestowed by the gallant and |je high-minded citizens of Kentucky, upon j a swindler, drunkard, and liar! AnJ|j,j such charges are ouly to be accounted fot, |tr; through the mad and reckless spirit, j,. which seems to pervade some of the party 0j press, in the present excited canvass for!cn the Presidency. Kentucky surely would ic1 not have overlooked her many distin-jj., guishod and favorite citizens, present, to i pj place in the Chair of honor a man of so! base a character.

Fowler's Funeral.?On Sun-(isi ly last almost the whole population ol'j pr is city turned out to pay the last tribute j eq respect to the remains of Capt* John i nc owler. The procession was formed be-' be veen three nail four o'clock; the Lexing-1 tc in Light Infantry, the Lexington Greys,: p] ml the Harrison Rifle Cadets, formed the ! if lilitary escort, the rest of the line being ! t!

None could witness d lie long and mournful procession without c eeling convinced that Capt. Fowler stood 1 ligh in the nlTections of the citizens ofj t jexington, and that they had spontan-jr jously assembled to render to his remains j tl ill the honor it was in their power to be- b low. And the unanimity with which nil j oncurred in this design, was rendered the ; nore striking from the fact that he stood I ii inconnected here by the ties of relation-j t hip.

Whatever changes a change of, ti ulcrs might make, the hard times must be ! ured by other means. That this is true; n re think -a candid investigation of a few a dain facts will show. Let us make the en-! c uiry, 1st, What has produced the present j f resstire? 2d, What continues it? The cor- n cct reply is brief and obvious. Foreign V ebts. Debts alone?debts of individuals, ? f corporations, of States?excessive ex-, \ enditores, altogether disproportionate to tl lieir revenue, was the sole cause of this j r iressure, and is of its continuance. ; fi fesr afdne' cTmtracIcdV dcTft T f nearly 173 millions (8174,096,901.) In | p te last four years of this period this State ; u ebt was increased more than 108 millions, j b esides 28 millions of surplus revenue dis- j p ibuted by the United Stales to the States. ' sj Without including the vast amount of' p< idividual liabilities to Europe, the inter- j g< it onthisimmense State debt is about: It en millions. This vast sum must be !D inually paid in specie; for the excess of! th lit imports over our exports amounts to : oi any millions?in 1838 and 1839, it was! c< itimated at fifty millions. Now, how can 1 th ty establishment, nation or individual,; fc : otherwise than oppressed, when taxed rc ith an annual tribute of from ten to fifty ;ar illions, over and above their revenue? ith his has been the condition of this couny for years. w When the vaunted American sysfen was ot 'st broached, and promises made that a j th nual, railroad, or turnpike should pass ! Si most every man's door, the folly of the Ire heme w*q denounced, and bv whom? Bv! dl e Democratic members of Congress and dt State Legislatures. Their warnings j tit ere derided, their predictions of failure j wi orned, and the most alluring promises j la Id out to all those States which should I be igage in the grand scheme of Internal th iprovernent. It was vainly urged that! w| ter borrowing the amounts of the esti- tli a ted cost of the several works, and ex-j Hiding it?the works might not be com-: wi etc, or the expected profits might not1 th ! realised- The country was yet too to inng to afford such vast outlays upon; hi gh ways and canals?the travel and th ansportalion requisite to make them pro- ur ictive, was not necessary in the business m the country?it would be better not to tc igage in the improvements on borrowed j pi lI'ital. This reasoning, every one th O * * tows, was hooted at as 44 ineffably stu- j at d" und jejune. , lis Well, these forebodings arc more than ' tb alized. In some instances the credit of' ic State is gone and their public works J c not only unproductive, but unfinished, cs id almost a total loss without the ex| cn-' pi ilurp of v:.?t ni!11 iti11un 1 sums which arc! i>t to bn obtainc.i. lit the most favorable! lses tho proceeds of tlic fabrics, which, tii ere to enrich the builders, is not sulli-J w ient to pay the interest of the outlay. : to Nearly SiOf) mii.moxs have been borrow-; oJ 1 and vested in these unproductive Im-jcc rovements.?The credit of most of thc.tli tales concerned in llicni is so low thatjti teir bonds are not as good as the bonds w f solvent individuals. In this dilemma; fc hat remedy is proposed? It is that the, b< fnitcd States shall assume tho payment di f these Slate bonds the proceeds of which i tl avc been worse than uselessly wasted in I g< orrnpting !'le public mind and deranging ! w ic monetary affairs of the whole nation.j il Besides the glaring- unconstitutionality' lu flie measure, it is monstrously unjust, t is unjust to lax those States, which have ;ued none, or a less amount than that t oporlioncd to their population, with an r| |uable portion of a debt which they had ) voice in contracting, an J which has t :en expended without the limits of their i rritory, and in violation of their pritwj. s les and example, and of the provisions >'f , ic roiisiiiation. This is one scheme of t le Whigs, they have prosiraled the ere- j< it of every State where their policy has j | revailed; and having failed to get posses-{, on of the public funds by means of a , ? rr I fnited States1 Batik, now have tne enrun- :ry to urge the assumption of the State , omls by the General Government. , Such then is the cause of the present ressurc. The annual balance of trade gainst us, added to the annual payment f the interest on a debt of one hundred fid sereiitij-five millions, besides indiviual liabilities. As long as this drain < ontinues, and the balance of trade is gainst us, so long will the pressure last. io Bank can, nor can Congress, relieve lie country otherwise than by the pay- 1 tent of the State debt. The General < Jovernmcnt had no part in creating those [ ebts, and should not be blamed for their onsequences nor required to pay them I fet, because Mr. Van Buren docs not l hink. and Gen. Harrison does think, it < ight for Congress to assume those debts? | lie one is to be put out, and the other to < ie put into office. i ?? i Bank Favoritism,?Singular Facts. ? It i 5 well known and not denied, that from J he Southern counties of this State, there < ' . L !.. i las been considerable emigration wunui i he last three years?in other words thai ast numbers of persons, who were utter- ] y ruined in the general crash, have run i way, carrying with them such moveable ( iropcrty as they could snatch from the ( angs of the law. In Hinds county not t jss than two hundred have sloped off in i liis way.?In RIadison, about the same < umber.?In Hinds, we learn from a { ourcc entitled implicit confidence, tbat f the number who have thus absconded, t nc hundred and ninety eight tvere Whigs, t nd but two were Democrats!! The , amc proportion, or nearly so, applies to t Iadison, and wc have no doubt also, to , lie oilier principal Cotton growing conn- ; ies, from which many have absconded. These fuels, wc ate assured are not dcicd in that region of the State, and what f lesson do they leach us at this important | risis. The cause of this is well known. , in 11 a Thosfl institutions have been i lanagcd and controlled principally by |, Vhigs, and the great mass of their loans I, ,'cro granted to their political friends.? Vhen the Democrats gat accomodations, 'icy were in small sums. All the large, uinous loans, were made to their Whig riends! and the disastrous consequences We state these facts wltTi no" desire IV) J roduce the impression that the Whigs ere any less honest than the-Democrats, ut for another and more important purosc.. The fact is, that the mad spirit of icculalion throughout the Slate, but esecially iu the Southern counties, was ^ eneral?it was not confined within, or mited by party lines or divisions. . Tlie cmocrats were cngulphcd in it as well as ic Whigs.?But the truth is, tlvat the le were the favorites of the Banks, and juld get unlimited accomodations, while ie others were denied what they asked ir. The Banks have thus been the diet means of destroying their own friends, id by refusing to aid their enemies, have ns saved them. This brings us to the argument which c have over and over again urged upon ir readers, that it is the corruptions of e Banks that have brought ruin upon our ' ate and debased and destroyed our curncv. That it is the Banks that have se iced men from the pursuit? of honest in- * istry, into the foul paths of mad specula)ti, cxtavagance and folly- The Banks ere the corrupt spawn of profligate legistion, and men who thought themselves ncfited ami blessed, wlicn reposing in c sunshine of their favors, now find, lien it is too late, that they have been c sole cause of their ruin. Wc entreat rur Democratic friends as ell in the Southern counties, as all over ^ c State, to ponder upor those facts, and * recollect that large bank favors " lead ^ it to bewilder and dazzle to blind'*? let; cm sec and appreciate the principles of | party, which are a 1/ersu to this inf.i ^ on?, corrupt and corrupting credit sj'sm, and when they see that our princics are right, we hope that as one man, cy will put their shoulders to the wheel ai this great and important crisis, to estnh>h them upon such a basis as will make em perpetual.?Pontotoc, ( Miss.)

These two matters which have employed so much of the talent of the opposition in the progress of the discussion, bavo been made to do good service, with the aid of an occasional introduction of their political watch words, ' log cabin" hard cider" " coon skins" Jtc. And these are the means used by a party, for the purpose of socuring to thcmsolves the administration of the government. A few days will decide whether they aro to be successful or not. * Cotto.v Crop.?Tho entire crop of Cotton for the J year ending on the 30th ult has been ascertained to be two millions one hundred and seventy-seven thousand light hundred and thirty-five bales; the largest crop, we bclicvo, over made in this country; and exceeding tho crop of the year previous, eight hundred and seventeen thousand three hundred and three bales. Notwithstanding this immenso increase in the production, tho consumption has very nearly kept pace with it. Dates from Liverpool to the 3d inst., informs us that the amount of Cotton on hand at that date, was estimated at four hundred eighty-nine thousand bales. amiinsL four hundred and twentv nino thousand, at tbc same time last year. Tho stock on hand in tin's country, was, on tho 33lh lilt, forty-two thousand three hundred ard thirty-tli ree bales, against twenty-seven thousand Lluco hundred and tiiirtcon boles at this period last year. F.?om this it will be seen, that with a crop for tho last year, exceeding that of tho year previous, over eight hundred thousand bales, that the stock remaining on hand had oaly increased seventy-fire thousand. . . The crop of the present year, will probably reach dxtcen hund ed thousand bales. The prico of Cotton at Liverpool, at the date ibovo referred to, the 31 instant, was, for upland from 5 1.4d to 6 l-2d, and the demaand moderate, without any speculative operations. Tho sides for tho week ending the day previous was twenty.se. ion thousand and sixty-three bales. Taking into consideration the immense crop of last year, and the small incrcaso of the stock on hand, wo canr.ot but suppose, that present prices will at least be maintained, and we think there is -casonablo grounds to expect tho articlo to advance. A treaty of Amity ami Cornmorco has been con;ludcd between t!;o Republic of Toxas, and Hoi. land. The treaty was signed by the respective representatives of tho two governments, his excellency the Bircn Vkrstock Van Soclen, on tho part of Holland, and General James Hamilton, tho Texiaii'iuinislcr. The average majority for the Whig Candidates lorGwgwwi in tho State of Cijorg a, ia '1970 votes. There seems to bo no longer any doubt but tho * Banks in Pennsylvania will resume specie pay. nents, !>y the tinio fixed for thorn at the last Scs. lion of the Legislature, tho 15th January next, rho United States B ink, tho only obstacle to a resumption, has submitted a statement of its condi. ion to the other Philadelphia Banks, and they have igrced to loan six millions of dollars to enable it to esutne, they believing it to bo solvent. Whet a beautiful commentary is this Ftate of hings, on the judgment or sincority of those who nsist on tho necessity of a United States Bank, to 1 regulate the Currency." Here we see an instituion with a capital of thirty-five millions of dollurs, triable to redeem its obligations, in the legal cur. oncy, without the aid of Banks, not one of which lave a capital ono fifth as large as itself. Power, ess, utterly powerless, and incapable of regulating lie currency of a singlo State, but on tho contrary, ias for noarly a year prevented tho other institutions ro:n lurmsmng a sounu currency wiunn ice Circio f their influence.
